Islamabad, (Parliament Times) : President think tank institute of Peace and Development INSPAD Dr Muhammad Tahir Tabassum, former adviser for human rights to PM AJK has said that the time for freedom of kashmir is very close. There can be no compromise on the unity and solidarity of Kashmir. Relations and trade with India cannot be at the cast of Kashmir. International organizations and institutions should be allowed to visit occupied Kashmir and Send fact-finding missions to Occupied Kashmir to the United Nations, OIC and European Union to know the detailed situation of Kashmir. Talking to Kashmir News Network (KNN) on Kashmir Solidarity Day, he said that Kashmiris have made immense sacrifices for their right to self-determination and freedom and are still holding on. Pakistan has failed to highlight the Kashmir issue to the world. No significant success is possible without resolving foreign policy contradictions. There is an urgent need for new effective measures. The country’s national policy should give access to public opinion institutions so that a comprehensive and integrated policy can be formulated.
The Kashmiri people deserve our solidarity at the national level. The Kashmir issue needs to be understood and further highlighted. The performance of the Parliamentary Kashmir Committee is negligible. A Kashmiri should be made its chairman. The performance of the Kashmir Committee is even worse than that of Maulana Fazlur Rehman.
He said that India has been against Pakistan from day one but it was unfortunate that the Afghan Taliban government was involved in cowardly acts of terrorism in Pakistan. Dr Tahir Tabassum added that all political and religious parties should extend full cooperation to the Armed Forces and national institutions to eradicate terrorism. Implementation of the National Action Program should be expedited so that peace prevails in the country. And the security of the Pak-China Great CPEC project could be ensured.
