LUTON (United Kingdom): All Jammu and Kashmir Muslim Conference [AJK MC] Central Secretary Information, Fida Hussein Kiani Tuesday made it clear that Kashmir freedom movement was based on the ideology of Accession to Pakistan.

"Even founder of the nation Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah termed Kashmir as "jugular vein" of Pakistan," he was addressing an Iftar dinner hosted in his honour by Muslim Conference's Secretary Information [UK] Syed Hussein Sarwar.

The Iftar dinner was well attended by Sardar Iftikhar Rashid, former mayor councillor of Luton Raja Saleem Khan, Additional general Secretary of MC UK Mohammad Riaz Butt, Khwaja Kabir Hussein and eminent Kashmiri intellectual A H Shaheen and Amir Aksar Khan president MC branch Luton.

'Accession to Pakistan Movement'

Fida said that the destination of Kashmir freedom movement is Accession to Pakistan and no one could force Kashmiris to divert their attention from their long living desires.

"Accession to Pakistan and Kashmir Freedom Movement are sides of same coin and two names of one objective," he added.

Scarifices

Fida said that Kashmiris have rendered enarmous sacrifices for their freedom from Indian clutches and now none of Pakistani leadership has the right to shift their stance on Kashmir issue .

"Kashmiris have given unprecedented sacrifices for freedom and even they expressed their deemed desire through a "Resolution for Accession to Pakistan" in July 1947 before Pakistan came into being," he added.

Kashmir - Jugular Vein

Fida said it is the responsibility of Pakistani leadership to follow the sayings of Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah when he termed Kashmir as jugular vein of Pakistan and should not divert from the sayings of Quaid-e-Azam . He held that due to this resolution provides a base for Kashmir issue at United Nations.

UN Resolutions

"The main problem is about plebiscite and even that was a promise made by UN and India when it took the matter at international forum in 1948 but no practical step on that resolution has been taken out yet," Kiyani added.

He slammed Indian occupation of Jammu and Kashmir saying that it has neglected UN resolutions and instead deployed around a million troops in the held valley to oppress Kashmiris' one-voice for seeking their right of self-determination--in line with the UN categorical commitments.

"Time is not very far off when the New Delhi invaders shall have to quit the forcibly held part of the State", he remarked.
