Islamabad, Oct 9: The chair-man of United Jihad Coun-cil (UJC), Syed Salahuddin on Wednesday said that if Kashmir was not addressed in its historical perspective the incidents like Samba, Hiranagar and Keran would continue to recur.

Talking to Greater Kashmir, the UJC chief said: “The people of Kashmir are engaged in a legitimate struggle against highly equipped Indian forces. The war between oppressed and the oppressor has been going on in the over the past several years and it would continue unabated unless Kashmiri people achieve their cherished goal”. He was of the view that New Delhi’s obdu-racy is pushing the entire South Asian region into quagmire of uncertainty and a deadly war, which he said would have far reaching

consequence on the overall security situation in the region. Expressing discontentment over the Indo-Pak dialogue process, he said, “The incongruous dialogue and so-called CBMs won’t really help to improve the alarming situation in the region”. “Given the vulnerable situation in the region,” he said. “It is incumbent upon the international community and the peace-loving people around the globe to persuade India to adopt a realistic approach to settle the long-pending Kashmir dispute in accor-dance with the wishes and aspirations of Kashmiri people.” Replying to a query he said, “The Mujahideen who gave tough time to Indian forces in Keran sector recently were not aliens but they were all local Mujahideen (fighters)”. Without going into the details of the inci-dent Hizb chief termed these attacks as suc-cessful “guerilla operations” and said that such attacks against the forces could increase further in future.

New Delhi, Oct 9: Army Chief Gen Bikram Singh today met Defence Minister A K Antony and is expected to have briefed him about the 15-day long operations in the Keran sector in Jammu and Kashmir. The meeting between the two took place in the Army Research and Referral Hos-pital where the Defence Min-ister is recuperating after a recent prostate surgery. The Army chief met the Defence Minister for almost an hour this morning soon after attending the Territo-rial Army Day parade in the cantonment area here, sourc-

es in the Army said. Gen Singh's meeting with Antony comes at a time when Army operation in the Keran sector has come under scru-tiny with several loopholes being cited in their conduct there. The Army is also likely to order an inquiry into the operations to find out if there was any mistake committed by the troops and command-ers there. The four-day Army Com-manders' Conference starting October 21 is also expected to discuss various aspects of the entire operation. The Army is also expect-

ed to discuss the need for evolving strategies to tackle such infiltration attempts from across the Line of Con-trol and the International Border. The level of infiltration is expected to go up in the near future with the proposed withdrawal of American and NATO troops from Afghani-stan. The meeting is also expected to discuss growing activities of Pakistan Army special forces in the border areas and their increasing attempts to infiltrate and attack Indian Army patrols. (PTI)

Rafiabad (Baram-ulla) Oct 9: Senior Congress leader Abdul Gani Vakil on Wednesday hailed Congress Vice-Presi-dent Rahul Gandhi for taking a tough stand to get the ordinance, envisaging protection to convicted legisla-tors and parliamentarians from disqualification, revoked. In a statement here Vakil said: “It is a historical contri-bution towards Indian politics, which will not only prevent criminalization of politics but will help in providing clean and corruption free governments in India.” He said that views expressed by Rahul with regard to Ordi-nance should serve as a beacon light for those who desire to

raise their voice against corruption and criminalization of politics. Vakil said that the seriousness of the Con-gress to eradicate the corruption, from all levels is now crystal clear due to the stand taken by Rahul. He

said that every leader must show courage to tackle the menace of corruption to save the nation. He also appealed the high command to start its crusade against corruption and take stringent action against corrupt and tainted Ministers of Con-gress party in the State besides urged the state government to expedite the process of initiat-ing action against high profile dishonest persons and bureau-crats.

Islamabad, Oct 9: Denouncing New Delhi’s decision to stop Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) Chairman Muhammad Yasin Malik from traveling to Nepal to meet his family, the supreme head of the outfit Ammanullah Khan on Wednes-day said that preventing a father from seeing his innocent daughter is “unethical, undemocratic and a serious violation of basic human rights.” Addressing a press conference here the JKLF founder said: “Deny-ing travel documents to Yasin Malik and barring him from visit-ing Katmandu to meet his spouse and 19-month old daughter is a violation of fundamental rights”. Khan said that it was aston-ishing to note that the immigra-tion authorities at Delhi airport asked Malik for passport or elec-tion card, whereas there was usu-ally no such binding on passen-gers to have travel documents or visa to travel from New Delhi to Katmandu (Nepal). He said that Malik presented state-subject certificate and a license to prove his identity but the immigration authorities rejected. He said that it was very unfortunate that on one hand the government of India was reluctant to issue passport to the JKLF chairman while on the other Indian High Commission in Islamabad had not taken any decision with regard to the issu-ance of visa to Malik’s spouse Mishal Malik and his daughter. “Mishal and her daughter Razia Sultana had formally submitted visa-application but till date there has been no official response from Indian High Commission”, he said adding India on one hand claims to be a secular and demo-cratic state while on the other it does not allow a father to meet his innocent daughter. Khan who was accompanied by other JKLF leaders said that Malik was not only one in Kash-mir to face such hurdles and dif-ficulties but there were hundreds and thousands of divided families who over the past several decades have not been allowed to see their relatives living on both sides of the line of control (LoC). The JKLF founder said that the governments of both India and Pakistan had promised to open up the LoC to let the divided families meet each other but this trans-LoC CBM had now reduced just for bartering onions and pota-toes only. He was of the view that these CBMs and the years’ long peace process between India and Pakistan failed to provide any relief to common Kashmiris. “These CBMs proved nothing but a smokescreen to hoodwink inter-national community”, he added. He demanded the interna-tional community and the world human rights bodies to impress upon India to let a hassle free travel across the line of control (LoC). Terming sufferings of divided families as an offshoot of unresolved Kashmir dispute he

said, “The people of Jammu and Kashmir will continue to suffer unless the issue of Kashmir is resolved peacefully in accor-dance with Kashmiris’ wishes and aspirations”. He said that it was high time that the interna-tional community should play its much needed role to settle the issue amicably. The JKLF spokesman on the occasion condemned in strong terms the abduction and rape attempt on a mother of three children by Indian troops at Zalangam village of Kokernag. They said that this shameful act was heinous crime against humanity.
