Islamabad, 15 November, 2011: Chairman Jammu and Kashmir People's Freedom League Muhammad Farooq Rehmani has urged Pakistan to raise its support-level of political and diplomatic nature to the Kashmiris to prove that granting of MFN status to India will not prevent it (Pakistan) from supporting and encouraging the people of Kashmir for their just cause of the right to self- determination and freedom as before. He said that, "Kashmir is on the threshold of victory as India is wary of repealing the Disturbed Areas Act and the Armed Forces Special Powers Act from the region despite the ruling National Conference's decision to abrogate these dreadful laws. The army supports these controversial laws as they have developed their own special privileges and interests over the years through the inhuman laws. If India fears that Kashmir will not remain with India without any black law then how the so called accession with India is just, valid and irrevocable?" He said that these laws were responsible for record human rights violations having had blocked all peaceful methods of resolving the 64 year old dispute in Asia.
Muhammad Farooq Rehmani said that trade agreements between Pakistan and India should not put Kashmir on back burner as the destiny of a nation is more important than fun, fare, and shopping. He said Kashmir situation has moved many personalities in India and abroad and human rights advocates and organizations were not happy with India over its dealing with the situation. He said writers and novelists like Arunadhati Roy were on the front-row to garner moral and political support for the military pull-out from Jammu and Kashmir as an Indian citizen. He said that the MFN status for India was now an acid test for Pakistan to show that trade with India would not come in her way to raise its voice for the people's right of self-determination.
Muhammad Farooq Rehmani, while referring to Syed Ali Geelani's life under- threat said that the matter should not be taken lightly in view of secret and clandestine operations by disguised soldiers against the people for the last many years in Kashmir. He said that Kashmir has ceased to be a safe and peaceful zone for its inhabitants because of the discovery of thousands of unmarked graves around its northern and southern line.
