Ex-Chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq's Views


 

India is not serious for the resolution of Kashmir  issue. Post nuclear scenario demands that the issue be solved amicably in order to ensure peace in the Sub-continent ...

Kashmir is not a Hindu-Muslim case. It is a political and human problem. We have been made to loose our identity. Indian Muslims were given the chance to determine their fate in 1947. Kashmiris have never felt that they are a part of India. So we cannot be kept as hostages.

We want the implementation of the UN resolutions which state that the people of Kashmir should be asked to opt for either India or Pakistan. We also support tripartite talks between India, Pakistan and Kashmiris. The princely state which existed before 1947, all the representatives from all regions of this state, should be allowed to discuss in order to reach some amicable solution.

.. Let the people of Jammu and Ladakh be given the option: if they want to join India we cannot stop them. The division of State and the solution on communal lines ... is the only way what can we do? ...

... The Kashmir Study Group suggests a state within state seeking guarantees from both India and Pakistan and urging both the governments to enter into certain international agreements. The report/suggestions would be thoroughly debated and discussed. Yet no official stance has been taken by us. (Source: The Milli Gazette, 1-16 May, 2000)
