Today, 5th February, is Kashmir Solidarity Day.
India took the case of Kashmir to the UN in 1948, where it was ecided that Kashmiris have the right of self-determination. India agreed to this, but has denied them this right ever since. ANy demands of Kashmiris is brutally put down - murders, rapes, mutilations, disappearances, are the methods the Indian Army and Border Security Force, apply regularly.
The US, and other powers aren't bothered, because the Kashmiris are predominantly Muslim.
Muslims shold rely on Allah alone, and help their brethren/sisters wherever they are suppressed.
We are with the Kashmiris.
JuD writes to the UN for lifting of ban
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The News International reported on its front page today (Thursday Feb 5th, Kashmir Day) that the Jamaatud-Dawa has made a six-page representation to the Secreatary General of the UN that the ban on its activities at the misinformation campaign of the Indian government is unjustified under the rules of the UN as it is neither connected wih the Taliban or al-Qaeda, and is not engaged in any activities related to terrorrism. Rather this ban is detrimental to the people of Pakistan as it has resulted in cessation of JuD's welfare activities.
I read this report together with the representation in the printed newspaper, but the http://www.thenews.com.pk site is down. The report starts on the front page in a small column and continues on page 8.
Now it is up to the UN to either prove that the JuD is a terrorist group, or to lift the ban and apologize to the people of Pakistan, including the Hindu and Christian womwen and children which were being supported by the JuD, and who have now been without this humantarian support ever since the ban on JuD.
