AIP President and MLA Langate Er Rasheed Monday appealed India and Pakistan to shun animosity and blame game in the interest of people of the sub-continent.In a statement issued to KNS, he said, “In absence of an organized mechanism, India often blames Pakistan for facilitating infiltration of militants in J&K and indulging in cease fire violations. Whatsoever the facts maybe, Indian biased media and Indian politicians very often try to score brawny points after every such incident but it is the people of J&K who suffer because of that propaganda. If GoI sincerely wants to resolve all disputes with Pakistan and believes in maintaining the sanctity of LoC, it should give up the blame game and agree to internationally recognized mechanism and procedure to monitor all such issues.”He added, “If GoI cries every time victim, why doesn’t it allow UN Military Observers and other neutral credible international organizations to be deployed along LoC to monitor whether Pakistan facilitates infiltration or who indulges in creating havoc at the borders?”
“If allegations of Indian establishments and security agencies are believed to be true then it should be Pakistan which should object to deploying observers on both sides of LoC. But unfortunately that is not the case, as India on one hand cries being victim of terrorism but on the other hand rejects deploying observers across LoC,” Rashid said.“Without bating for Pakistan, one has no reason to condemn India for not allowing international human rights organizations to visit J&K and in return Pakistani government has offered entry to all human rights and other organizations in Azaad Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan, thus it should be clear to all that who wants to hide the truth,” he added.Er Rasheed added that unless Indian establishment and harsh media doesn’t stop misleading masses and world community on all issues pertaining to India Pakistan relations, things will not change on the ground and one has every reason to believe that India’s hue and cry is nothing but a desperate attempt to divert attention of world community from the indigenous political and armed struggle of Kashmir.
