Kashmir Solidarity Day observed in Australia

By: Mohammed Ali, Canberra

(mohammedali506@hotmail.com)

 

Kashmir Solidarity Day was observed in Australia on Sunday, 5 February 2012, under the auspices of Kashmir Solidarity Council, Canberra. The day was observed to express complete solidarity with the people of Kashmir in their just cause of seeking right of self determination, as envisaged in the relevant UN resolutions.

 

The highlights of the day were a seminar preceded by a photo exhibition, self speaking of the dismal situation in the disputed Kashmir over the last sixty years. The panel discussion following the formal speeches witnessed the emotion of 'HOPE' overcoming the discontent of speakers at the ignorance of the issue by the world, especially the western world including the United Nations.

 

The event attended by Canberrans belonging to different origins and walks of life was poised by the presence of High Commissioner of Pakistan, Deputy High Commissioner of Pakistan, an Ex-High Commissioner of Pakistan, Defense Attaché of Pakistan, An Ex-Defense Attaché of Pakistan, President Pakistan Australia Friendship Association Canberra, President Pakistan Cultural Association Canberra, President Forum Australia, President Bazm-e-Adab (Urdu Literary Society) Canberra, Vice President, Canberra Multicultural Community Forum and other dignitaries.

 

Addressing the gathering Mr Khizar Hayat Khan Niazi, Ex–High Commissioner of Pakistan in Australia, expressed his dismay that the issue of Kashmir was for the last sixty years left completely 'ignored'. He questioned the notion of national interests of the countries, especially at the expanse of moral values, which was hampering the resolution of Kashmir issue. Walking down the memory lane, Mr Niazi provided historical background of the issue arguing that unlawful annexation of Kashmir was in utter violation of the principle agreed at the time of creation of Pakistan. "When the principle agreed was that Muslim dominated areas would be part of Pakistan then why Kashmir was left out of it", he wondered.

 

Sharing her views with the audience, Ms Diana Abdur Rehman, Vice President, Canberra Multicultural Community Forum, expressed her grief at the selective role of media in publicizing the issues such as Kashmir. She proposed that the Muslim world, particularly its youth, should take advantage of modern communication technologies like face book and twitter, and take on themselves to make the world know of the dreaded situation in Kashmir, and for that matter in Palestine, Iraq and Afghanistan. She also expressed her discontent at the role of the Australian government in not supporting the cause of Kashmiris as it should have. "Why we Muslims (only) do it (support such causes) because no one else does it, she concluded.

 

Other speakers at the seminar, Mr Iqbal Khan, founder member and current executive of Kashmir Solidarity Council, Ms Velia Zahoor, A young voice form Canberra, and Mrs. Khalid Qureshi, President Urdu Literary Society, also emphasized that free world must come forward to help resolve the age old issue which is plaguing the generations of Kashmiris and has a potential of irreversibly affecting the region given both India and Pakistan are now nuclear powers. Ms Velia questioned 'Why Kashmiris have been reduced to a slave status in their own homeland?' Mr Iqbal, a Kashmiri by origin, noting the long and bleak history of the region, called for asking Kashmiris with out any further delay 'What they want?'. The core problem he said was not territorial; rather it was freedom of expression and justice, purely human values.

 

The panel discussion that followed formal speeches heard Mr Babar Virk, an Ex-Defense Attaché of Pakistan, advocating the need to redefine the terms 'freedom fighters' and 'terrorists'. Those who were fighting for their rights and for their survival, how could they be labeled as terrorists was the deep seated discontent at the bottom of his advocacy.

 

That Kashmir Solidarity Council should broaden its role in increasing awareness of the issue to all Australians, a comment from Mr Khawar Saleem, was accepted with thanks by the Kashmir Solidarity Council Executive members. Mr Mohammed Ali, and guest speaker Diana Abdur Rahman  in response to this comment offered that they were prepared to spread the knowledge of the issue through the radio programs they do in Canberra beside their off and on appearance on various fora and platforms engaging general people.

 

Kashmir Solidarity Council, Canberra, was established eleven years ago by a group of like minded peace loving people in Canberra including Dr Naimat Cheema, Iqbal Khan, Javed Butt and Mohammed Ali. The group acknowledged the support offered by all peace loving people of Canberra and wider Australia. The group also extended its sincere thanks to the ABC 666 radio, the Canberra Times, Sadaewatan Sydney, Rabitah International Sydney, Oziforum, and various other communication outlets that have supported the cause of the Kashmir Solidarity Council over the years.

 

Mr Mohammed Ali appended his vote of thanks at the end of the evening with the word 'HOPE'. In response to a comment that the issue of Kashmir might never resolve, he said that there were examples of issues being resolved such as East Timore, as indicated by Diana. He further said that we do not leave a position or effort just because it looked impossible to be sustained. 'That must rather fuel our passion to continue working for the resolution of the issues that we are striving for'. HOPE, he said was central to the philosophy of life whether it was birth of a new baby, or springing of a new spring season after a long and dry autumn.

World owes a solution to lingering Kashmir dispute, seminar told in Kuala Lumpur

Speakers at a seminar in the Malaysian capital have called for concerted efforts to awaken the world's conscience and raise support for the just cause of the people of Kashmir waiting for more than six decades now to realize their goal of self-determination.

The call was made during a seminar held in Kuala Lumpur on Sunday evening under the aegis of Global Peace Mission (GPM), Angkatan Belia Islam Malaysia (ABIM) and High Commission for Pakistan in Malaysia to mark the Kashmir Solidarity Day observed all over the world on 5th February every year to show solidarity and support for the people of Kahsmir.

A large number of civil society representatives, members of Kashmiri and Pakistani communities, academicians and students attended the function addressed by various notable speakers, including ABIM Secretary General Mr. Mohammad Raimi Abdul Rahim, noted academician Prof Dr. Ruhanas Harun, Global Peace Mission Malaysia CEO Mr. Azlan Mohd Shariff and Mr. Rafiq Bin Fazal Din from Malaysian Centre for Policy Research.

The speakers highlighted the spirit of the day and called on the international community to help resolve the issue of Kashmir to secure peace and stability in the region. They said the people of Kashmir had long suffered in search of freedom and in an age when the human freedoms were being watched and secured by the civilized world through diplomatic means and dialogue, the Kashmiris were being deprived of their basic rights and awaiting a just and lasting solution.

Earlier in his opening remarks, the High Commissioner for Pakistan in Malaysia, Mr. Masood Khalid highlighted the significance of the Kashmir Solidarity Day and Pakistan's efforts to secure a solution to the long-standing Kashmir issue. "Our position is based on the support for a just cause and on principles recognized by the international community and enshrined in the UN Charter," he said, adding that Pakistan was committed to extending full moral, diplomatic and political support to the Kashmiri people till the realization of their right to self-determination.

Later, a group of Pakistani and Kashmiri students enrolled in local universities and colleges presented colourful skits, songs, plays and tableaus signifying the theme of Kashmir Solidarity Day and highlighting the rich Kashmiri culture and traditions.

MORNING NOTES

By Taj Haider

 

How about a backhand Mian Sahib

 

1.                 Memo has misfired. Bad planning indeed. Old tricks in a new situation were bound to fail. Who were the actual planners? What were the loop holes in planning and their execution? Did these planners suffer from over confidence or were in too much of a hurry? Who got cold feet when the goal was to be scored? All these points have to be given a serious thought while making the next plan (if not already made) in the 'struggle against democracy'.

 

2.                 Mian Nawaz Sharif Sahib had surely left his flanks open and undefended. Devoid of any original thinking or looking at pitfalls ahead, he and his advisors decided to plunge forward with their eyes closed. Having full faith in the "wisdom" and "capabilities" of the traditional anti-PPP forces he hoped that everything would fall in place. This recklessness is a trade mark of Mian Sahib. We paid a heavy price for his reckless actions in Kargil.

 

3.                 In the memo plan his subjective thinking could not go beyond what he had himself done in post Kargil period. Undeniable evidence of his inviting the Americans to save his government after the Kargil disaster has been printed in the looks of Bill Clinton and Bruce Riedel. Mian Sahib in his reckless state of mind thought that no one has read this established evidence. Much more likely is the fact that Mian Sahib and his advisors being so allergic to books and learning never even knew that such evidence existed and  thus he went for the "PANGA" (no other word in any other language can convey the sense).

 

4.                 Having been cornered so mischievously by the anti-democratic forces propped up by the ultra Right Wing Media one feels tempted to hit a down the line background through moving an application in the Supreme Court that the Honourable Supreme Court may be pleased to examine the evidence existing in a similar charge against Mian Sahib. However PPP is not doing it and our reasons are simple.

 

4.1.                     It is our well considered opinion that 'Politics of Confrontation' is dangerous for the survival of democracy. Come whatever may we are not deviating from our 'Politics of reconciliation' which has resulted in spectacular advances for the forces of democracy.

4.2.                     If we go into the past there are hundreds of people who can be charged with the violation of Article 6 of the Constitution. Perhaps the judges who validated military takeovers cannot be saved from the abetment charges. With the objective of taking all political forces on board in order to consolidate democracy, why should a politician who has twice held office of Prime Minister become the sole target of Article 6?

4.3.                     Honourable Supreme Court which was in such hurry in Memo case that they issued orders without even hearing the other side can take sue moto notice of the readily available evidence against Mian Sahiban. While there is hardly any possibility of the Honourable Court taking such a course of action, it is our earnest desire that from this point our movement should be for free, fair elections in which all political parties should freely participate.

PRESS RELEASE
----------------------------
KCEU Hold Candlelight Vigil on Kashmir Solidarity Day



KCEU, together with a crowd of peaceful supporters hed a candlelight vigil outside the residence of the Prime Minister of Belgium.  The Vigil, on the Global Kashmir Solidarity Day, is a peaceful and solemn event to remember the people of Indian Held Kashmir and those that have lost their lives in their struggle for freedom.

The crowd observed the vigil in serene silence holding flickering candles to signify the hope that the people of Kashmir have in seeing this issue resolved.

Kashmir solidarity day, observed allover Europe as well as in Indian Held Kashmir and the rest of South Asia is much more than an annual gathering of people that are in solidarity with the Kashmiri cause.  It shows the moral support for the legitimate claim to self-determination as recognised by the UN, government representatives of its member states and the individuals who commemorate this day in Brussels, Paris, Berlin, Dublin, Den Hague and other cities allover the world.

Addressing the crowd Barrister A. Majid Tramboo stressed the need for the countries, people and governments of the European Union and the kingdom of belgium to stand in solidarity with the people of Jammu & Kashmir in realising their right to self-determination pursuant to the United Nations resolutions.  He stressed that the route to this is through a reduction in human rights abuses by Indian forces coupled with dialogue that necessarily includes Kashmiris.  



Highlighting the recent European Parliament resolution in which paragraph 33 "stresses that human rights, democracy and security are essential elements of the relationship between EU and India; calls, therefore, on both sides to ensure that dialogue on open issues is stepped up, with particular reference to Kashmir" Barrister Tramboo called upon the European Commission and Council to make good on the wishes of the European Parliament.  He stressed that KCEU would continue to work with all European actors to ensure that their recommendations are carried through.


As the observers walked down Rue Belliard and the vigil concluded a memorandum was delivered to the Prime Minister of Belgium, H.E. Elio Di Rupo, on behalf of the people of Kashmir the text of which is reproduced below:










MEMORANDUM


Presented to Prime Minister of Belgium
on the 5th of February, 2011 in Brussels:


His Excellency Elio Di Rupo
Prime Minister of Belgium




We humbly and respectfully request that your offices, uniquely positioned at the heart of the EU, take note of the ongoing conflict in Jammu & Kashmir and the inherent denial of human rights therein.

Recalling all of the resolutions passed by the OIC in Casablanca in 1993;

Recalling the report adopted by the European Parliament on 24 May 2007 in which the European Parliament upheld the Kashmiris right to self-determination;

Recalling the urgency resolution of the European Parliament on Kashmir's nameless and mass graves; 

Rejecting any other mechanism, elections or acts of constituent assembly imposed by the occupying power as an alternative to the right to self-determination; 

Condemning the unabated serious crimes, torture, extra-judicial killings, custodial deaths and disappearances, fake encounters, arbitrary detentions, destruction of houses, shops and villages, and rape as instruments of suppression by the Indian Government through its military, paramilitary forces and its mercenaries; 

Now Calling upon the H.E. Di Rupo to stress upon the Government of India the need to:


    1.    to implement the United Nations Security Council resolutions on the right to self-determination of the Kashmiri people;
