POK Activist Roars In British Parliament: Pakistan Not Legitimate Party To J-K Dispute

While Pakistan boasts of being the real owner of Kashmir and blames India for occupying, people of POK strongly condemn its statement. They don't accept Pakistan as a legitimate party in the J-K dispute.

The Radcliffe line carved between India and Pakistan was a line drawn by swords, a line drawn on living people who had indigenous culture and civilization. The line left infinite wounds that will long for centuries to come. The wounded Pak-Occupied Kashmir still looks for healing for Pakistan treats them as animals.

Professor Sajjad Raja, a political activist from POK, said in the British Parliament that the two parties in the Jammu and Kashmir dispute are the people of Kashmir and India, Pakistan is not a legitimate party.

Speaking further, he said that Pakistan has been given this legitimacy by the Indian government. We invited Indians to rescue us and they went through the United Nations and there they agreed to the formula presented by the western states.

Giving an example of how Pakistan forcefully occupied the Kashmir territory in 1947 and the Western nations had an important role to play, Sajjad Raja said, “If I enter this room with guns and grenades in my hands and my friends to occupy this room, would you consider me a legitimate party?”

The political activist pointed out bias against Kashmiris and mentioned citing Pak-sponsored terrorism, “These are different standards for us and different for the Western world and others.”

“It is still not too late. Pakistan must be forced to give us all basic human rights and fundamental freedom. We must not be treated like animals.” he added.

He emphasized the fact that the people of mainland Kashmir who are living under the Indian government as an integral part of India are enjoying the facilities of modern-day life and they (POK residents) too want the same treatment while they’re being treated as animals by the Pakistan government.

Sajjad and other speakers, including British MPs spoke on Jammu and Kashmir Day marking the 76th anniversary of the accession of the then princely state to India, on October 26, 1947.
