The statement continued that the conflict in Kashmir has existed for more than seven decades, and remains a serious bone of contention between the nuclear armed neighbours, India and Pakistan.

Both have fought full scale wars, and continue to confront each other across the ceasefire line, that forcibly divides Kashmiris under their de-facto rule. The ceasefire line in Kashmir also represents de-facto rather than de-jure border. Separation of Kashmiri people in general, and hundreds of thousands of families in particular across the ceasefire line, is enforced by armies of both India and Pakistan. At least a dozen substantial resolutions of the UNSC were passed on the issue, which were supported, and in some cases sponsored by Her Majesty’s past governments. Bilateral agreements, like the Tashkent and Shimla Accords, were signed and agreed upon by India and Pakistan. Thus far however, not even an iota of progress has been made towards a solution, while entrenched positions of both countries, add enormously to the suffering, misery, indignity of separation, and occupation for the Kashmiris.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;Times New Roman\u0026quot;, serif; font-size: 12.5pt; line-height: 17.8333px;\"\u003EPrime Minister India for her part has demonstrated an extreme intransigence over the years, and is fervently insistent that Kashmir is an internal affair of India. Despite staking claim to be given a permanent seat on the UNSC, India however, has completely reneged on all the commitments and solemn pledges, which she made at the United Nations. Today India’s de-jure position in Kashmir therefore, is that of an occupier. With a growing economic position however, India invests an enormous amount of energy in aggressive diplomacy, to make Kashmir a non-issue at the international level. India’s militarised violence over the years has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths of Kashmiris. India’s military in Kashmir, acts with impunity under laws such as the Armed Forces Special Powers Act-AFSPA. Thus a culture of impunity prevails in Kashmir, which makes India’s huge military deployment in the territory, virtually unaccountable for its violations of human rights.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;Times New Roman\u0026quot;, serif; font-size: 12.5pt; line-height: 17.8333px;\"\u003ESince 2014 in particular, Indian government has shown an unprecedented military and political aggression in its policies against the Kashmiris, and their pro freedom leadership. Indian government has declared war on the people, especially the young of Kashmir. Hundreds have been blinded in an unbridled, and indiscriminate use of force with weapons such as the pellets guns. More than150 people have been killed, and more than fifteen thousand injured since July of 2016. Indian military even stoops, to the reprehensible level, of using innocent Kashmiris, as human shields.

The fundamental democratic rights of the leaders to free speech, free movement and engagement with the people, is denied to them. The harassment of leaders and activists, as part of an aggressive culture of impunity, and political victimisation, is rife.

This is a deliberate attempt to engineer, not only a religious and communal cleavage within Kashmiri society, but to malign the political resistance, and its leaders as ‘sponsored’. This is one of the reasons, why India confines political leaders either in their homes or in custody. The Indian government with its aggressively sharp political rhetoric, encourages communal extremism of its ideological bed fellows, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh-RSS- in Kashmir.\u0026nbsp; Equally as the progenitor of the Bharatiya Janata Party, the RSS exerts an incontrovertibly enormous grip, on the policies of the ruling BJP in India.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;Times New Roman\u0026quot;, serif; font-size: 12.5pt; line-height: 17.8333px;\"\u003EEven the mortal remains of leaders, whose executions can only be described as judicial murders, are not handed over to their families, despite repeated demands for their return by them.

Both countries have huge potential, despite facing the perennial challenges of social and economic inequalities. Both India and Pakistan have combined population of over a billion and a half, and growing fast. While this presents enormous challenges, it also provides them with an immense energy for innovation and economic and technological development in their societies. It is in this context that Kashmiris across the ceasefire line have welcomed the China Pakistan Economic Corridor-CPEC-.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;Times New Roman\u0026quot;, serif; font-size: 12.5pt; line-height: 17.8333px;\"\u003EAs the mega CPEC project begins its journey to Pakistan’s port city of Gwadar, it first enters into Pakistan controlled, Kashmir region of Gilgit Baltistan. Kashmiris therefore, expect CPEC to, primarily benefit Gilgit Baltistan region, as well as others parts of Pakistan administered Kashmir. However, due to lack of democracy, and unrepresentative political structures in Gilgit Baltistan, and the territory of Azad Jammu Kashmir, the extent of real benefits to these regions, of Pakistan controlled Kashmir from CPEC, are a cause for serious concern. As a consequence, this concern has accentuated the demand for tangible democratisation and merger of both regions, including setting up of a democratically elected Joint Council for the regions, free of control from Islamabad. Thus far however, Pakistan government is not responding to these people centric demands.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;Times New Roman\u0026quot;, serif; font-size: 12.5pt; line-height: 17.8333px;\"\u003EPrime Minister, seventy years of forced division has not dimmed the burning desire of Kashmiris, to reunite and live as a free people.

And the appointment of India’s current interlocutor in Kashmir according to Prof Anand, is an example of this Indian approach or the mind-set. He said it is the mandarins in Delhi who make the policy on Kashmir. He argued that Pakistani state would have a similar aggressive attitude if Kashmiris were agitating as forcefully against its rule as they are in Indian administered Kashmir. However Professor Anand pointed out that Pakistan could let Azad Jammu Kashmir become azad (free) and turn the region into a model of positive political development with a democratic constitution. Professor Anand pointed out that azadi does not mean only political freedom, but it should mean justice for all. He pointed out that he supported the JKLF’s position on the rights of minorities and diverse opinions in Jammu Kashmir.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"x_MsoNormal\" style=\"background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: inherit;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"x_MsoNormal\" style=\"background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: inherit;\"\u003EKashmiri origin British Peer Lord Qurban Hussain argued that Pakistan recognises Kashmir as a dispute, whereas India considers it as its internal affair.

It is for these sound reasons that the people and political parties of Azad Kashmir (AK) do not make such demands. Although both AK and GB belong to the same state of Jammu Kashmir. Moreover, there are many other ways of meeting the genuine demands of the people of GB. For example, i) GB and AK be merged in to each other as two equal units, ii) giving similar status to GB as of AK, and iii) giving rights to the people of GB in any legal form but without merging it with Pakistan as it may affect its world recognized disputed nature.\u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 6.0pt; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;\"\u003EMr. Prime Minister,\u0026nbsp; as you perhaps know I myself am a resident of GB and have suffered a lot for demanding due rights for the people of the area.

I have observed you personally saying that you and your party support our Right of Self-determination (RSD) according to UN Resolutions and Kashmiri people’s aspirations. However, the last and effective UN Resolution does not scope for an independent Kashmir thus limiting the options and curbing the aspirations of the people. While as Kashmiries believe in three alternate solutions of Kashmir issue ie, an Independent Kashmir or Kashmir’s accession to Pakistan or Kashmir’s accession to India. However, It will be kind enough of you, your party and other political parties of Pakistan if you people could be magnanimous enough towards Kashmir issue by providing a clear and open stand of yours in favor of Kashmiri aspirations, by not rejecting any aspired option as a solution and by not limiting its options of solution to accession to Pakistan or accession to India only. For being a proud nation, Kashmiri people would want to retain its national identity for all times to come. As President of Pakistan Mr. Asif Ali Zardari too during his meeting with a delegation of Kashmiri leaders, of which I and my colleague Mr. Rafiq Dar were a part of, in President House Islamabad on March 28, 2013, said, and repeated trice, that he considers Kashmiries as a nation.

After this Yasin Malik led a procession and travelled on foot through all Sopore localities .people from all walks of life including women in large numbers also joined this procession.

Now this phenomenon is continuing and four innocents have already lost their lives but ironically so- called government led by mufti Sayeed has maintained criminal silence over these killings. Yasin Malik said that this silence is significant and fishy as these rulers even after small militant incidents used to declare people and organization involved immediately but today after many days they have not spoken even a single word which speaks volumes about the motive behind these killings. He said that “\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"background: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\"\u003ESopore is the fort of Kashmir’s freedom struggle and through these killings some people want to destroy this Fort. \u0026nbsp;He said that today we are in Sopore and want to convey to the courageous people of Sopore that we will jointly resist this oppression and will not let anybody to destroy our faith and passion.\u0026nbsp; He said that we have to raise our voice against these targeted killings and that with the killings fear psychosis is being created among the freedom loving people of Sopore which is not acceptable to us. “I have come here to join you and raise voice against the killings. We have to stand up and show that we will not get cowed down by such attacks,” Malik said. JKLF chief said that vicious cycle of death was being unleashed upon the people. “People are being hunted like animals and killed. We cannot watch it silently. We have to resist it,” he told the mourners. Yasin Malik announced that all resistance parties have today joined together and today APHC (G), APHC (M) and JKLF together have decided to resist this spree of killings’ together. After mutual consultations we all have decided to call for a total strike on Wednesday 17\u003Csup\u003Eth\u003C\/sup\u003E June 2015.

Speakers said that there are reports that mufti government through its officers is trying to manipulate data of population to change the demography of these areas so that Muslim majority areas are turned into minority. Speakers \u0026nbsp;said that according to authentic surveys only 25% recent population is living on lands that have ownership .Rest are on either government lands or forest lands .Hundreds of colonies, government offices and other mighty establishments are on forest lands, besides this military establishments of huge magnitudes are established in jungle areas not only in Jammu but in entire Kashmir and this so-called law is being only applied on poor Muslims who have been living there from decades are being targeted and displaced. \u0026nbsp;He said that present regime in Jammu Kashmir from the first day is trying to pursue the RSS agenda.

Yasin Malik who was released from police custody on 8\u003Csup\u003Eth\u003C\/sup\u003E June 2015, said that mufti Mohammad Sayeed and his government has started implementing RSS agenda on Kashmir especially in Jammu. He said that so called rulers have started targeting minorities and recent killing of innocent Sikh youth and displacing Muslims from their homes and bulldozing their small homes are glaring examples of this. Muhammad Yasin Malik said that in the name of forest land, Muslims are being targeted, their homes are being bulldozed on Israeli style and hence roof is being snatched from the heads of thousands of poor and downtrodden Muslims. Moreover Muslim officers are being transferred and Hindu officers of RSS choice are being deployed all over the region and throughout Chenab valley to create fear among Muslims and other minorities. This has actually threatened the minorities especially Muslims living in these areas who are being pushed to wall and hence compelled to migrate. Yasin Malik said that mufti Sayeed has shown that he is a staunch RSS man who will do everything possible to please his masters in Nagpur. He said that 1947 like situation is being created throughout Jammu, Rajouri, Poonch, Doda, Kishtwra, Baderwah and Rambhan areas and rulers want to displace Muslims from these areas so that is becomes easy for them to settle down RSS agents and workers from outside state in these areas. Yasin Malik said that there are reports that mufti government through its officers is trying to manipulate data of population to change the demography of these areas so that Muslim majority areas are turned as minority. Yasin Malik said that in 1947 more than 3 Lakh Muslims were massacred in Jammu and leader of Kashmir sheikh Muhammad Abdullah closed his eyes and let that ethnic cleansing to happen .today mufti Sayeed has gone one step further and he and his government are adhering to policy of harassing Jammu Muslims and other minorities so that their masters in Nagpur are pleased with them, added Yasin Malik. He said that separating Jammu and Kashmir on communal lines is old agenda of RSS and so called Jammu Kashmir government by following policies like these are actually fulfilling this condemnable agenda.\u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"background: white; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;Georgia\u0026quot;,\u0026quot;serif\u0026quot;; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: \u0026quot;Times New Roman\u0026quot;;\"\u003EMalik said that according to authentic surveys only 25% recent population is living on lands that have ownership .Rest are on either government lands or forest lands .hundreds of colonies, government offices and other mighty establishments are on forest lands but only poor Muslims who have been living there from decades are being targeted and displaced. \u0026nbsp;He said that present regime in Jammu Kashmir from the first day is trying to pursue the RSS agenda here.

Sheikh Abdul Rashid said that be it PDP or NC or Congress or BJP or other small parties all are equally partners in suppressing people of Jammu Kashmir.\u0026nbsp; He said that JKLF has started this jail Bharo campaign as a protest against the puppet government’s policy of choking political space and other oppressive measures against JKLF and other resistance parties. He said that puppet state government has chocked all the political space of people here and its tactics are unacceptable. He said that today fathers are being arrested in place of their sons and brothers in place of brothers .this condemnable act is being done throughout Kashmir and hence youth are being pushed to the wall by these so called rulers. He said that JKLF has pledged to take the sacred movement of martyrs to its logical end and we will never allow any body to change the demography and special status of Jammu Kashmir. He said that people who advocated “Battle of ideas” and “Goli Nahin Boli” after getting power have resorted to worst kind of oppression and suppression but they should know that their double speak and hypocritical politics has been exposed among common masses now. \u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"background: white; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #222222; font-family: \u0026quot;Georgia\u0026quot;,\u0026quot;serif\u0026quot;; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: \u0026quot;Times New Roman\u0026quot;;\"\u003E\u0026nbsp;He said that seeking political space is our political, moral and democratic right as we cannot remain silent spectators over growing oppression against people of Jammu Kashmir.
