Islamabad, (Parliament Times) : The Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) has strongly condemned the launch of missile attacks at several places in AJK and Pakistan that has so far taken the lives of 26 innocent civilians including women, children and elderly men, and injured 46 others. A girl child of Mauzaffarabad and a 20 years old young girl of Khoiratta, Kotli fell prey to this missile attack while they were in their respective houses.
According to a statement issued from the party’s central information office, the JKLF chief spokesman Muhammad Rafiq Dar termed the attack as shameful, deplorable and a frustrated attempt of Mr. Modi led extremist government of India. He said that the people in the region and the international community were very much concerned about the war hysteria created by the Modi government and Indian media after the Pahalgam incident.
The missile attacks in the darkness of intervening night of 6 and 7 May were launched mostly at civilian areas of district Muzaffarabad and Kotli (Nakyal and Khoiratta) targeting residential houses and mosques besides continued shelling and exchange of heavy fire at various other places on ceasefire line, the spokesman informed. He said that this blatant missile attack on civilian population under so called “Operation Sindoor” cannot deter the resilient people of Azad Jammu Kashmir who are always ready to defend their motherland from any kind of aggression.
According to the statement, the JKLF spokesman appealed to the international community to intervene and stop the two nuclear powers from further escalating the situation. The claims of dismantling terror camps by India and counter claims of downing six fighter jets by Pakistan, can lead the situation to devastation detrimental to the vast and vulnerable population of the region, he emphasized. The intervention of the international community is a must before the situation goes from bad to worse, he added.
The spokesman in the statement emphasized that the current volatile situation demands for the just, peaceful, permanent, viable and democratic resolution of the core issue of Jammu Kashmir in accordance with the wishes and aspirations of the people of the entire disputed State.
According to the statement, the acting chairman of JKLF Raja Haq Nawaz Khan has directed the party cadre in AJK to get ready for emergency and help needy people in every respect targeted in the attack.
