THE KASHMIR PROBLEM:

Kashmir is a bone of contention between Pakistan and India.The Kashmir issue, after 58 year's, is still a biggest hindrance in the normalization of relations between Pakistan and India.The two countries have fought to full fledged wars over this issue.In view of it's Geo-political significance, India desired to acquire Kashmir when partition of the sub-continent became inevitable in 1947.The Maharajah acceded to India under dubious circumstances when the Kashmiri Muslims revolted against the evil designs of India.

Pakistan is of the view that only the people of Kashmir have a right to determine the future of Kashmir.The UN resolution of august 13, 1948 and January 5, 1949, which were accepted both by India and Pakistan provided for the holding a plebiscite under the UN auspices to settle the Kashmir issue.

The people of Kashmir have been suffering from inexpressible miseries since 1948.The unending curfew, rape cases, torture cells and crushing of their resources are only the slight expression of their miseries.A new hell can be witnessed in this old heaven.

India is projecting the struggle in Kashmir as "Muslim fundamentalism."India cannot throw dust into the eyes of the world community by labeling Kashmir movement as"religious fanaticism." In fact, Kashmir people along with their Islamic aspiration are fighting for the protection of their political, religious, political, and economic rights.It is the expression of the entire community.The India authorities have failed to understand the core of the issue and are trying to deal it as that of law and order.They link it to terrorism sponsored by Pakistan.

The time has come when UNO should play an active role as it has played in Iraq-Kuwait case.The resolution on Kashmir are yet to be fully implemented.The UNO has lost its repute as peace keeping and peace making body.The unending struggle of the freedom fighters has proved that that the will of the people cannot be suppressed.It is the moral obligation of the international community to rescue the innocent Kashmiris from the brutalities, cruelties and atrocities of the occupation army of India.The Muslim ummah should also come out of it's slumber and prove it to the world that Islam is a force which cannot be suppressed.
