ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: Syed Shujaat Ali Bokhari, Additional Secretary General of Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya Pakistan has said that dream of restoring durable peace in the world could not come true unless Kashmir and Palestine issues are resolved in the light of the United Nations Resolutions keeping to the desire of their respective people.

Addressing the TNFJ Islamabad elite at Bokhari House here on Sunday, he said the international powers not only started interfering in the affairs of Muslim States in the garb of New York-Washington incident rather they are still increasing pressure on them as a result of which oppressed nations and the Islamic World are under immense pressure. He said Afghanistan was shattered, Iraq was destructed so as to divert the world attention from the long-standing issues of Kashmir and Palestine.

Bokhari said two-day Islamic Summit was held in the city of Makkah in Saudi Arabia to release the colonial pressure so as to create an atmosphere of self-confidence in the Muslim States but neither this pressure could be released nor Muslim States could progress unless the Muslim States get rid of supremacy of the super powers and start taking their own decisions. He said for creating an atmosphere of self-confidence, it is necessary for us all to understand our problems and difficulties and consider attack on one of them as an attack on them all because the live nations learn a lesson from their past.

He said the international powers were increasing their pressure further owing to our weaknesses therefore now they have openly announced to make Iran and Syria their target so that after seizing the resources in Afghanistan and Iraq, they could also overcome the natural and mineral resources of Syria and Iran. Our big problems are Palestine and Kashmir that have never been discussed rather even denied access on their agenda.

He lamented that there are 1.25 billion Muslims and 67 Muslim States that form one-fourth of the whole world but the condition of Muslims is still miserable. He said even they have no Permanent seat in the Security Council, they have been denied of their right to veto. In the OIC summit this time, decision to include all recognized sects in the definition of Muslim and ensuring the protection of their life and wealth is a right step.

Syed Shujaat Bokhari said that if we are sincere in restoring our confidence and stop aggression and interference then we would have to resolve internal problems of all countries and for this purpose all Muslim States will have to resolve their internal problems first, would have to take all of them along, would have to give priority to religious, national and country’s interests over their personal and party matters.

He said if the Muslim States could not achieve a permanent seat in the Security Council and have the veto power jointly then there is no room for the survival of OIC because we are standing where we were 37 years ago rather have stepped back a lot. He said this time the Conference has created some enlightenment which should be made brighter, unity and brotherhood should be preferred, then no power on earth howsoever big could cause any harm to us. We should never give up our support for the oppressed, he concluded.
