Appeal to revive Kashmiris` Right of self-determination:All Parties committee for Kashmir

All Parties Committee for Kashmiri Peoples Right of Self-determination has asked the people of Pakistan not to let a solution not based on the freely expressed will of the people of entire Jammu Kashmir State be imposed on the Kashmiris
THE ALL Parties Committee for Kashmiri Peoples Right of Self-determination, comprising heads/senior office bearers of 16 political parties of Azad Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan, has called upon the people of Pakistan specially the leaders of ruling coalition, and other main political parties, the media and human rights activists, not to let a solution not based on the freely expressed will of the people of entire Jammu Kashmir State be imposed on Kashmiris. It has also demanded of the people, political parties and the media of all parts of Jammu Kashmir State to join and extend full support to All Parties Committee for Kashmiri Peoples Right of Self-determination in its struggle for reviving Kashmiris` Right of Self-determination that was now being denied to them as was evident from the recent agreements between India and Pakistan which did include their resolve to solve Kashmir Issue but not on the basis of Kashmiri peoples right of self-determination. It may be recalled that the said right was not only inherent with Kashmiris but had also been pledged to them earlier by both the countries publicly and through a number of UN resolutions agreed to by both but not implemented. These appeals and demands were made through two separate letters sent to peoples of Pakistan and Kashmir by Amanullah Khan Convener of All Parties Committee for Kashmiri Peoples Right of Self-determination.
Explaining the reasons behind formation of the Committee, the letters said that first the people of Pakistan as also the majority of Kashmiris thought and rightly so, that ideological disunity among Kashmiri leaders was irreparably damaging Pakistan`s as also Kashmiris` cause and secondly, and more importantly, the recent India-Pak agreement, while expressing the resolve of both to solve Kashmir Issue, made no mention whatsoever, of Kashmiris` inherent, internationally recognized and pledged right of self-determination nor were Kashmiri people, the real and worst effected party, accepted as even an ordinary party and allow their representatives to participate in the meetings aimed at trying to find a solution of Kashmir issue. This state of affairs was tantamount to treating over 17 million Kashmiris as dumb-driven cattle that no self respectful and politically conscious nation could tolerate. As such as a result of hectic and continuous efforts of some Kashmiri leaders, 16 Kashmiri parties agreed to unite on one point agenda of struggling, collectively to get Kashmiris right of self-determination revived and implemented.
The letters also explained brief activities of the Committee so far which included observing October 14, 2008 as Kashmiris` Right of Self-determination Day on national and international level. Rallies, seminars and demonstrations were held in New York, London and Brussels as also in main cities and towns of Pakistan and Azad Kashmir. Literature on Kashmir Issue produced by the Committee was also distributed in large quantity on the occasion.The All Parties Committee for Kashmiri Peoples Right of Self-determination comprises the leaders/senior office bearers of All Jammu Kashmir Muslim Conference (both factions), Pakistan Peoples Party AK, Peoples Muslim League (PML), Jammu Kashmir Peoples Party (JKPP), Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), Jammu Kashmir Liberation League (JKLL), Jamat-e-Islami Azad Kashmir, Gilgit Baltistan National Alliance (GBNA), Jamieat-Ulmai Islam AK, Jamieat Ulmai Jammu Kashmir, Islamic Democratic Party, PPP (Shaheed Bhutto), AK, Peoples National Party (PNP), United Kashmir Peoples National Party (UKPNP) and Kashmir Freedom Movement (KFM).
