[DAWN] The Legislative Assembly of Azad Jammu and Kashmire (AJK) on Thursday warned India that it could neither crush the popular freedom struggle nor raise any "constitutional" set up in Indian Kashmiree on the surmise of "military might" and advised New Delhi to find a peacefully negotiated settlement of the lingering dispute as enshrined in the United Nations...where theory meets practice and practice loses...
Security Council (UNSC) resolutions.
The assembly also assured the besieged leadership and people of Indian-Indian Kashmiree that AJK stood by them in this difficult phase of their freedom movement with full conviction.
"We will not leave you alone in any way. We will live and die along with you," vowed the house through a unanimously approved resolution, tabled by Prime Minister Raja Farooq Haider reportedly in consultation with members from both sides of the divide.
Condemning the abrogation of occupied Kashmire's constitution as well as extension of the jurisdiction of India’s constitution to the disputed territory, the AJK legislature observed that Articles 370 and 35-A of the Indian constitution were amended and repealed, respectively, to reduce the majority of Moslems there, due to which India had always been reluctant to hold a UN-sponsored plebiscite.
