Lahore, September 13, 2019 (PPI-OT): Punjab University (PU) Vice-Chancellor Prof Niaz Ahmed has said that the silence of United Nations on Kashmir issue had been lamentable as if it could not resolve Kashmir issue there is no use of it.
He was addressing a seminar on Kashmir issue organised by Punjab University in collaboration with Jammu Kashmir Solidarity Movement Organisation at Al Raazi Hall here. The daughter of General (r) Hameed Gul and Chairperson of Jammu Kashmir Solidarity Movement Organisation Uzma Gull, General (r) Ghulam Mustafa, Pro-Vice-Chancellor Prof Dr Muhammad Saleem Mazhar, Dean Faculty of Arts and Humanities Prof Dr Iqbal Chawla, Bishop Abraham Denial, Sardar Akaash Singh, senior faculty members and a large number of students were present on the occasion. Prof Niaz Ahmed said the UN had successfully implemented its resolutions where UNO and some countries wanted to.
He said if UN could not play its role in lifting curfew in the Held Valley then it was a useless organisation. He said Kashmiris must be given their right of plebiscite. He said Kashmir issue was the issue of survival of Pakistan and Pakistani nation, government and Pakistan Army stood with the people of Kashmir. He said that all minorities in Pakistan, including Hindus, Sikhs, Christians and others support the people of Kashmir and condemn Indian atrocities.
Uzma Gul said that international community would not present Kashmir to us in plate. She said we must avoid the option of arbitration offered by the United States as it would be a deception. She said the US wanted to make its presence in Kashmir in the disguise of United Nations. General (r) Ghulam Mustafa said that international community was not taking serious steps for removal of curfew from the occupied
Kashmir.
Dr Saleem Mazhar said Pakistan’s atomic power, geographical position and resources had attracted attention of the world. He said we must strengthen our ties with China and should expedite work on China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) projects, which were suffering from delaying tactics. He questioned why human rights organisations in Pakistan were silent on violations of human rights in Kashmir?
Bishop Abraham Danial said Christians expressed solidarity with the people of Kashmir. He said that Bishop of Srinagar had appealed to Vatican to raise voice in support of people of Kashmir through Church and condemn Indian atrocities on innocent Muslims.
Sardar Akash Singh said India was not a secular state rather it was following the RSS philosophy. He said all the minorities were not safe from extremist Hindus. He said international community must not remain silent over Kashmir issue and Sikhs all over the world support the voice of Kashmiris.
