Jammu Kashmir National Awami Party and Jammu Kashmir National Students Federation finalized long march yesterday in a joint meeting of JK NAP National council. ( ( NC JK NAP) JK National Awami Party and JK National Students Federation directed their local leaders and members all over POK that they must be reaching in Muzafrabad city on the evening of 12th August until the morning of August 13th, where this joint Caravan will start marching towards Northern province of Kashmir Gilgit Baltistan. Every district body of JK NSF and JK NAP will be responsible to set up information centers in every city, town and village, where people will be provided all kinds of information including about transportation, gathering places and routes of the marches towards district HQ from small towns areas and villages. JK NSF colleges units will be responsible to set up information desks in every college and university campus all over POK. Local people and sympathizers will be joining the caravans on the way to POK capital city Muzafrabad.JK NSF and JK NAP local leaders, members, activists and sympathizers have been mobilizing local population since the announcement of this long march and got overwhelm response from all over POK cities, towns, communities and even smaller villages. People from both sides have been forced to live under brutal Pakistani occupation since last 60 years and not been allowed to move freely from one area to another area. People from one occupied area Gilgit Baltistan has been treated worst than animals and denied basic human rights in 21st century. JK NAP and JK NSF initiated this march because of one basic reason which is to end so-called Karachi agreement. Our one of the basic demands is that Karachi agreement must be ended now without any further delaying tactics and none of the Kashmiri political party has ever accepted it except Pakistani puppets, said JK NAP and JK NSF leaders in joint meeting. They said that we will not stop these long marches, protest rallies, organizing seminars and campaigning for it internationally. Kashmiris must come up to make joint efforts to change living conditions of our brothers and sisters from occupied Gilgit Baltistan.( Northern province of Jammu Kashmir state) We not only reject Karachi agreement but also demand that ministry of Kashmir affairs and Kashmir council must be dissolved, all lent officers must be removed from all over two parts of POK and locals must be hired for these jobs. We out rightly reject every effort made by Pakistani Govt to further enslave our people from northern Kashmir and keep them away from the rest of POK people by force.It has been very unfortunate that pro- Pakistan political groups and parties have not only been silent but some level are also responsible for the miseries of the people of occupied Gilgit Baltistan. We condemn their criminal silence since so long over the deprivation of basic rights to our brothers and sisters from northern occupied province of Kashmir. This is a first time in the history of last 60 years of Pakistani occupation over these areas, JK NAP and JK NSF have broken this long silence with the announcement of this long march from POK to occupied Gilgit Baltistan. We the leaders, members, activists and sympathizers of Jammu Kashmir National Awami Party and Jammu Kashmir National Students Federation invite every Kashmiri to join hand with us and start campaigning for our three demands end occupation from all parts of POK starting first from its northern occupied part Gilgit Baltistan, dissolve ministry of Kashmir affairs, Kashmir Council and replace all non locals who occupied jobs and businesses illegally either in POK or Gilgit Baltistan and remove all unwanted lent officers from Pakistan in the two parts of POK. This long march will become a milestone towards the reunification of two occupied parts of Kashmir and helps moving towards third Indian occupied part of Kashmir and will end up with the reunification of entire state of Jammu Kashmir sooner or later.Issued byInternational Council of Jammu Kashmir National Awami Party.
