Terming Kashmir as a basic issue of contention between the two nuclear powers of the sub-continent, Hurriyat (g) Conference chairman, Syed Ali Geelani said that the unrealistic attitude of political leadership regarding this globally accepted political dispute and dealing it only “militarily” has created death and destruction in the whole state and if this problem is not solved not only Indo-Pak subcontinent but global peace and stability is under severe threat which may culminate in the world’s biggest human catastrophe.
Quoting Geelani, the spokesman said that Jammu and Kashmir is not merely a “territorial” dispute but an issue of survival for more than 1.5 million people. It has always threatened the peace of the whole sub-continent creating a situation of uncertainty and political turbulence leading to war like situation whenever there is any incident on either side. Unless this bone of contention is addressed according to the wishes and aspirations of its natives, permanent peace and stability will remain a distant dream.
Pro-freedom leader appealed the global community to come forward and raise their voice to safeguard Kashmiries and help their own nation not to get fragmented the same way as the fate of USSR in the recent past.
Geelani also paid tributes to two slain militant killed in Sopore encounter and said these brave youth are sacrificing their today for the freedom of our land.
