By: Salman Alvi

RAWALPINDI, June 20: Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi, chief of the Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya, Pakistan has said solution of Kashmir and Palestine issues is the need of the hour to make this world a hub of peace. He stated this while talking to a representative delegation of TNFJ Kashmir Council that called on him at the head of Syed Riaz Hussain Kazmi.

He said Middle East and South Asia have been stabbed in the back owing to not resolving the Kashmir and Palestine issues. He said Hindus occupying Held Kashmir in 1947 carried out oppression there, earlier in 1832 they carried out atrocities against Kashmiris and they are still being treated badly facing oppression from all around.

On the other, he said, Palestinians have been exiled and the Zionists have been settled in the occupied territory in Palestine but the Palestinians have not given up yet. He said labourers working in Resham-Khana in Srinagar were martyred in 1924 when they demanded their dues while in 1932 they by engaging themselves in confrontation with Dogra Raaj lit those lamps with their blood that gave a new lease of life to the movement of independence.

Agha Moosavi said the sacrifices rendered by Kashmiris are not less than any one else. He said as many as 90,000 Kashmiris kissed martyrdom to-date since 1987 while India and Israel were utilizing all their energies in sabotaging the independence movements by terming the same as terrorism. He said the independence movements in Kashmir and Palestine are on their peak and at present the whole world of humanity in general, and the peace loving people in particular were not only rejecting the steps taken by colonial powers but were also criticizing them openly.

He said the faces of so-called champions of democracy have been unveiled therefore America has announced a Road Map for an Independent State of Palestine to cover up her foiled movement. Similarly, he said America was trying to settle terms in a bid to term Kashmir integral part by India and stop Pakistan from terming Kashmir her jugular vein. In these circumstances, he said, it is testing time for the people of Palestine and Kashmir that how could they stop the designs of colonial powers. He said if Palestinians and Kashmiris succeed in proving their joint point of view exercising wisdom then it would be a good omen for the world of humanity.

The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi called upon the Arab world, Government of Pakistan, and the OIC to utilize all their energies in getting the Kashmir and Palestine issues resolved in the light of ground realities in line with the United Nations Resolutions keeping to the desire of respective people.
