Srinagar, Apr 22 (KNS): Jammu Kashmir Democratic Liberation Party are going to hold a signature campaign in various European cities (Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris, Geneva, London, Vienna etc.) to create awareness regarding the Kashmir-issue in general and in particular vis-á-vis the proposed annexation of Gilgit Baltistan by Pakistan and the illegal construction of the China Pakistan Economic Corridor.
This Signature Campaign is supported by JKDLP. We hope that other quarters will support this campaign as well.
In a statement issued to KNS, JKDLP senior leader, Junaid Qureshi said that if Pakistan imposes its sovereign writ over Gilgit-Baltistan, India will then have a political and moral right to fully integrate Jammu & Kashmir into India and scrap Article 370 of its constitution, which gives Jammu & Kashmir a special status. This would pave the way for the further division of already divided Jammu & Kashmir.
The proposed annexation of Gilgit Baltistan and the construction of this illegal corridor, complimented by the military benefits for both China and Pakistan and an investment of 46 billion dollars, has all the ingredients to exacerbate the complexities of the Kashmir-Issue, threaten peace, cement China’s stake in Jammu & Kashmir and thereby jeopardize any solution to this long-standing conflict.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel
It is imperative to create awareness and gather international support against Chinese and Pakistani designs to divide the state of Jammu & Kashmir.
Gilgit Baltistan is part of Jammu & Kashmir State, the future status of which still needs to be decided according to the wishes of all the State subjects of Jammu, Ladakh, the Kashmir Valley, Pakistan Administered Kashmir and indeed, Gilgit Baltistan.
I hope that every Kashmiri and all other people, irrespective of political ideology, caste, creed and religion will support my efforts against the further division of my motherland.
The whole of Jammu & Kashmir belongs to the people of Jammu & Kashmir.
All the signatures collected (physical and online) will be presented to Members of the European Parliament, National Member Parliaments of European countries and the United Nations during the UNHRC in September 2016.
