US recognized Jammu and Kashmir as an international dispute since 1947: Geelani
Srinagar July 24 (PTK): Commenting on the US Presidents revelation of Indian Prime Minister’s mediation request for settlement of Kashmir dispute, All Parties Hurriyat Conference chairman, Syed Ali Geelani said that slight acknowledgement of the historical facts has not only unnerved Indian politicians, but both its rulers and opposition are frustrated to the extent that they seek clarification from their Prime Minister.
He said that US has recognized Jammu and Kashmir as an international dispute since 1947 and is the main supporter of plebiscite, even authored the plebiscite resolutions and guidelines for its implementations.
Pro-freedom leader said that despite the international acceptance, India continues to be in a denial mode and uses his military might to curb and crush any voice which is raised in support of these resolutions.
He said that decades old facts are yet again being acknowledged because their non-resolution has threatened not only global peace but the human existence too is at stake.
He further said that on one hand this bold gesture of Pakistan PM needs to be hailed, and serves as a soothing balm on the wounds inflicted on the common masses, on the other hand it has stunned more than a billion population, who were fed the false narrative of the state being its “integral part”.
Hurriyat chairman said that this is encouraging that somebody somewhere is talking and listening to the woes of Kashmiries who have been crying their full throat to remind its brute oppressor that facts can in no way be denied for too long.
Hailing the Pakistan PM for representing the emotions and sentiments of Kashmiries, Pro-freedom leader said that he has honestly tried to rescue the people from being consumed in the conflict if the resolution of this nuclear flashpoint is further delayed.
Hurriyat chairman said that US President’s role should not be only mediation, but arbitration, as one party of the dispute is persistently refusing to come to the table to solve this problem.
