Dear Sir/Madam
Iam Zaffar Akbar Bhat, Chairman
Jammu Kashmir Salvation Movement detained at Kotbalwal Jail Jammu. At
this auspicious occasion of Eid-ul_Fitar please accept my heartiest Eid
felicitations and convey the same to whole nation of Pakistan through
your esteemed newspaper.
I am aware about the recent natural calamity in Pakistan and I am shocked at the trauma and devastation wrought by the recent floods in Pakistan.
I wish to express my solidarity on behalf myself and Kashmiri Nation
with all those who have suffered loss of life and livelihoods.
I know that lakhs of Pakistanis are rendered homeless due to this flood and are celebrating this Eid in a miserable condition.
I
wish to assure you that kashmiri people living all across the world,
are with you at this time of pain and suffering. I appeal to Kashmiri
International Diasphora and all those Kashmiris living around the globe
to play their leading role and help the flood affectees generousely.
I
am thankful to you on the pivotal role played by your daily for last 20
years for the projection of popular freedom struggle of Jammu &
Kashmir. It was because of the continuous coverage in your newspaper
and other Pakistani print as well as electronic media that Kashmir
Issue was highlighted in the whole world community and it got central
focus in various international forums. Indeed Pakistan was playing role
of real advocate of Kashmiris at international level. But I am sorry to
say that Pakistani media could not project the 2008 uprising in Kashmir
on land row and Israeli type settlements of Hindu pockets in the name
of Amaranth Shrine Board. In that uprising hundreds of Kashmiris have
embraced martyrdom and got world attention but unfortunately Pak media
could not play the proper role. Same is the case in recent uprising in
which India is busy in systematic genocide of Kashmiris and innocent
youth are being butchered on daily basis and due coverage is not given
in Pak media.
The
letter is to remind you the responsibility which Pakistan has in case
of Kashmir. The movement has now entered the decisive phase and at this
time people of Kashmir need your due support.
India
has left no stone unturned to crush the current freedom struggle and
more than one lac people are martyred in last 2 decades. Indian forces
are busy in killing the people of Kashmir since her occupation but I
want to draw your attention towards the recent killing spree in Kashmir.
Recently
people came on roads to protest against the Indian illegal occupation
in Kashmir and launched the peaceful,” Quit Kashmir Movement” but
Indian ruthless forces fired bullets on them which resulted in the
killing of 68 innocent Kashmiris from 8year old boy to 80 year old man
in last two months.
Hundreds
of Kashmiris are put behind the bars including me, Shabbir Ahmed Shah,
Naeem Ahmed Khan, Syed Ali Geelani, Muhammad Yasin Malik during recent
uprising. The trigger
happy forces are busy in killing the innocent people of kashmir. They
are not accountable to anyone and complete lawlessness is witnessed
through out the Valley.
I
appeal to the international community through your esteemed News Paper
to come forward and pressurise India to stop unabated killings in
Kashmir, repeal draconian laws and release all political leaders and
workers of Kashmir and finally force India to respect the UN
resolutions on Kashmir.
Lastly
I would like to appeal the Muslim Ummah that donot forgets the flood
affectees of Pakistan and victims of Indian state terrorism in Kashmir
at this occasion of Eid-ul-fitar.
Yours Sincerely
Zaffar Akbar Bhat
Chairman
Jammu Kashmir Salvation Movement
Kotbalwal Jail Jammu.
