The danger of nuclear conflict would continue to lurk in South Asia until Kashmir dispute is resolved in accordance with the wishes of Kashmiri people and United Nations resolutions. Maulana Fazlur Rahman, leader of his own faction of Jamiat Ulama Islam (JUI-F) said this at a joint press conference with AJK Prime Minister, Sardar Attique Ahmad Khan, here on Thursday.
Fazl, who is also the Chairman of Special Parliamentary Kashmir Committee, said the recent peaceful struggle for independence in Kashmir is drawing closer to the success. He warned that international scenario is changing, and delay in the resolution of Kashmir dispute is causing disappointment among the people. He proposed to hold a National Conference to evolving a strategy on Kashmir issue, which he said, had been sidelined in the policies since 2001 and onwards. He informed that the parliamentary committee is considering formulating a joint strategy of the leadership of Pakistan and Kashmir on the issue. "We will again make Kashmir issue as priority number one," he vowed and stressed for involving Kashmiri people in Pak-India dialogue.
The JUI-F chief raised no objections over the constitution of a Commission on Abbottabad incident on May 2 in which US conducted unilateral operation and killed al Qaeda chief, Osama bin Laden. He, however, did not favour use of force in Waziristan saying military operations mean failures to politics, dialogue, policies and all other peaceful means to sort out differences. He hailed the alliance between JUI-F and Muslim Conference in June 26 AJK Legislative Assembly elections.
The AJK Prime Minister said on this occasion that the alliance would be instrumental in forming interfaith harmony as well as political stability in AJK. It would cast positive impacts on both sides of the divide, he added.
