JK.NSF Convention held in Kotli on 24-25 Dec.2008 (By Rasheed Khan JKNAP)

JK.NSF Convention held in Kotli on 24-25 Dec.2008

Jammu Kashmir National Student Federation (JK.NSF) is no doubt the largest and oldest progressive student organization in (POK) Pakistan occupied Kashmir which had formed on 22^nd September 1966.

It has organizational set up and units in all over Pakistani occupied Kashmir and branches in majore cities of Pakistan,where kashmiri students come for the purpose of getting education as there is no facilities of education in colony of Pakistan ,which has been given the name "Azad Kashmir" but in practice it can be any thing else except a free kashmir.

Since its inception JKNSF undertook a constant struggle for not only the rights of students, but also for national emancipation, the oppressed classes and to set up a society free from all sorts of exploitation. This is the only organization that never compromised, betrayed or played in the hands of agencies and foreign occupant forces and this is the reason of being target by the usurpers.

Struggle of JKNSF is for an independent, secular socialist Kashmir based on scientific methods & subjective conditions of Kashmir.JK.NSF strongly believed in peaceful methods to achieve the cause and reject any sort of violence in struggle,despite the brutal acts made by the agencies and govtʼs authorities ,JKNSF never reacted in same way and set an example of tolerance in politics.It should be noted that many of NSF office bearers were brutally slaughtered by the local puppet Govtʼs agents,one of them is the general secretary,Faheem Akram who was stabbed to death.

JK.NSF struggle is consist around more than 4 decades and today mostly nationalist and progressive leadership and cadre have the background from NSF.

Despite being student organization it played a significant role in national emancipation political movement as an alternat to a revolutionary mass party,a mass party which always played important role in all world revolutions. However this burning question & debate was always existing within the comrades that to have a party which can later on preserve the produced cadre and the vital importance of a revolutionary mass party as itself ,being considered the limited role of students.

After the inception of JKPNP in 1985,which was first ever national democractic organization in POK,strarted to strengthened and built the roots among the masses ,a small faction of comrades from NSF strengthened their ties with newly formed party ,while the mainstream was still maintained independent status.While the debate for a party was still kept on.After passing few years, a debacle occurred within JKPNP which resulted in the formation of a new party UKPNP,this walloping dashed the hopes of comrades.

JKNSF after observing and having long experiences consisting on more than four decades that without having a revolutionary mass organization their struggle will produce no result,which inclined the comrades to form a party ,the decision took place in 1995/96 and Jammu Kashmir National Awami Party (JKNAP) came into being,it was the scientific step & decision taken place during the entire earlier decades.

During this period a small number of members from within NSF got influenced by Trotskyism after an intrusion by the Trotskytes from PPP,however such elements got fiasco in convention which later on compelled them to form a separate faction

with the name of NSF but with the help of PPP.

In the meantime a small & weak section of members also got roots from CWI and started to strengthened their ties with CWI ( which is too a faction of Trotskytes) ,so they got assistance from LPP of Pakistan.but they remained isolated within one district.They dissolved their faction prior to this convention held in Kotli Dec.2008.

Whether CWI,CMI or IMT ,Trotskyism couldnʼt strengthened itʼs roots within NSF despite having a huge financial aid from NGOs and other flood of literature.However still a small faction of Trotskytes maintained their faction with the help of PPP, while the pro-CWI has merged themselves.

JK.NSF is the symbol of resistance in POK against occupied forces of Pakistan,when during the decade 1970,Z.A Bhutto did conspiracy to make the POK as 5^th province of Pakistan,NSF strongly resisted and reacted to make failure this attempt.Thatʼ s why pak establishment and her ally forces in POK always tried to act upon the policy of suppression while filing the cases of insurrection against the members of NSF,alongwith this they also acted upon the policies of torture,kidnapping and killing which resulted in the death of many comrades by the local puppet ruling class.

After the sour-revolution of april 1978 in Afghanistan leaded by PDPA,capitalist forces of west alarmed and felt a threat of socialist change and advancement in the region ,to create impediments in the way of progress and make failure the sour-revolution, CIA joined hands with ISI and started a new game in the region in the shape of producing militants to wage a war against revolution.During Zia regime this region was under severe grip of such warlike forces in the shape of state backed religious fanatics,who were creating a threat for secular values and communal hatred was spreading,it was not confined till Pakistan only but also in POK,at that crucial juncture of history it was JK.NSF who countered these forces of hate mongers on the basis religion within educational institutions and outside and kept high the red flag and banner of socialism and educated the students for secular and progressive ideology and thoughts,otherwise the entire society could have enwrapped by the imperialist made fanatics forces.

After set Afghanistan into fire,godfathers of holy war were in the quest of new battle ground and to engage the production of Jihadis which were produced during so-called Afghan Jihad.They succeeded to found such place in the shape of valley of Kashmir.

After the election of 1987 in Indian held Kashmir,where Muslim United Front badly failed in election,while angry youngsters crossed over the border,arrived in POK,got training by ISI and sent back to fight,that was the turning point of the current proxy war.

JK.NSF keeping in view the history and policies of Pakistanʼs establishment, specially the role in Afghan war and earlier in Bangla Desh,strongly rejected the methodology of such un-declared war backed by one occupier to fulfil her own agenda and ego and to create a justification of the ideology of Pakistanʼs creation by seting up an atmosphare of communal hatred in valley of Kashmir.It was also analysed at that time that it is only an effort by Pakistan to distract the attention of masses from his own occupied areas ,POK and Gilgit Baltistan where Pakistan himself violated the same rights which he is demanding for IHK people,and it was just to throw duest into the eyes of innocent masses and world community.

The lesson of the history is there to read,words spoken at that time,now proved.

When the proxy war was on full swing,an emotional atmosphare was set up,

Jihadi anthem were warming the hearts of emotional & innocent youngsters,that was the time to enlighten the masses about the real plots and policies of establishment. Though a small section from NSF also joined hands with such forces but later on they confessed their mistakes, but the genuine workers did accurate analyses of the future of such movements.

NSF through all the emotional and bad times crossed over successfully, todayʼs global circumstances endorses the accuracy of correct prediction and analyses made at that time.Now Pakistan is passing through a crucial time and whatever was sow in past is there to reap,holy wariros of past are not terrorists of today.

JKNSF held itʼs annual convention on 24-25 Dec.2008 at Kotli,which was the largest ever convention of itʼs history where estimated more than 6000 people gathered,specially the students all over Pokʼs colleges,the city was decorated by red flags and red banners,processions arrived in Kotli from all parts of Kashmir,close session started at 11:30 ,which carried on the whole night,till early morning,on 25^th of Dec, general council through democratic process elected new office bearers,after the completion of body,a huge ralley was moved within the city,later on, the new president JK.NSF ,Raja Saba ,JK.NAP president Javed Sharif and Liaquat Hayyat addressed the students and masses and vowed that JK.NSF & JKNAP will carry on their struggle for re-unification, independent socialist Kashmir.

PRESS RELEASE(IC.JKNAP UK)

A reference has been organized to pay a great tribute to SHODA-E -WADHAT -E-KASHMIR LONG MARCH TOWARDS OCCUPIED GILGIT BULTISTAN, Sardar Amjid incharge JKNSF study circle Karachi and Raja Bahazad Khan organizer JKNAP Mzd. POK, by Jammu Kashmir National liberation Front Europe Zone president Mhahmood Kashmiri in a local Bradford (UK) restaurant.
The chief guests of the programme was Ved Bhasin editor Kashmir Times Jammu IOK, Dr.Nazir Gilani, JKHRUN, Younas Ch. JKLF. The programme was presided by Mahmood Kashmiri president JKNLF Europe zone and hosted by Nadeem Aslam Advocate IC JKNAP UK.
All the speakers praised the long march martyrs, who died during and after the long march towards occupied GB.They appreciated the ongoing struggle in POK ,and the key role of JKNSF+JKNAP and all other groups who are committed to liberation. They all criticized the inhuman role of the Pak. army and puppet POK Govt. All of them showed their grief and send their condolences to the effected family and friends .
The chief guest Mr.Vad Bhasin praised the sacrifices of Kasmiries in POK, and mentioned that every single family is effected during the struggle against occupation, and those that sacrifice their lives for the human rights and their objectives are great. I believe that Kashmir is a single entity that was created on 13th Augut 1947. It includes the territories of Jammu, Ladakh, Kargil, Gilgit , Bultistan, and Kashmir. Kasmir is a garden of different flowers and colors, India and Pakistan wants to divide Kashmir on religions basis thats not acceptable for any Kahmiri.There is no importance of Kashmir issue in Ind-Pak CBMS.
Dr. Nazir Gilani said history will remember JKNSF +JKNAP roles in Kashmir, and the son`s of soul deliver their commitment with their lives. He said that its the responcibilty of the Pak. army to secure the human lives, because these areas are controlled by Pak.military. If its true that Pak. army denied medical aid it is a violation of Red Cross and it was a violation of military manual as well. He mentioned that it demonstrates the refusal of a right of self determination of Kashmiri people .
Agencies of occupied forces are working hard to discourage the libration movement.Leadership is needed to create a united front against the occupied forces.
JKNLF presidant Mahmood Kashmiri said that Srdar Amjid and Raja Bhazad will always be remembered for their honorable sacrifice . He welcomed Mr. Vad Bhasin and said that puppet Kashmiri leadership sold themselves to Dheli and Islamabad. He condemend the role of puppet govenments on both sides POK, IOK. Four students of JKNSF are still in Mzd. prison in a murder case.
Nadeem Aslam spokesperson for IC JKNAP told the audience that the long march on 13th August -18th August took two lives because of the negligence of POK Gov. and the inhuman attitude of Pak. army. They didn`t show any sympathy for the marchers efforts. He appreciated the support and help of all the GB groups and political parties that welcomed the long march. We will carry on our struggle against occupied forces until the reunification of state of Jammu Kashmir , until every single foreign solder leave our motherland. One day we will succeed to free our nation. There are two main reasons for the need for the Long march firstly as a protest against Pakastani Goverments assertion that GB is part of Pakistan in response to the Emma Nicholson report. Secondly a protest against the inhuman Karachi pact signed by Sardar Ibrahim, Ch, Gulam Abbas and Pakistani official Mr. Mushtaq Goormani ( a minister without any office).
Other speakers are Youns Ch, Younas Taryaby ,Kh,. Mushtaq ,Srdar Aftab , Srdar Rehman, Azmat A Khan, Irshad Zia, Rafique Mir, Saeed Hussan, and Ayyub Insari are among the others.

Mumbai Terror, Who is responsible?

Mumbai Terror, Who is responsible?

After Mumbai attack Pakistani PM admitted that he would send DG ISI to India but DG ISI refused to go to India. If ISI has nothing to do with this terror attack why DG ISI refused to go there and share information with them, they should not have any thing to hide or even afraid of anything which they have not done or do not endorse. This act of refusal by ISI Director General must be seen in the context of insubordination to its Govt. It has also shown that civilian Govt has no control over its military intelligence agencies which is very dangerous trend. Pakistan is a nation state and it must respect international laws and behave accordingly, it would not be enough to say after every terrorist attack that it is a conspiracy against Islam or Pakistan, it would not work any more. It is a reality that Pakistani state has been tolerating these Jihadi groups in its territory, its state secret agencies are harboring and promoting these groups, neither Pakistani army is willing to eliminate them nor civilian administration has capacity to do that in near future.

It is still possibility that India might take action against these groups, it may provoke an all out war which could take very ugly turn because Pakistani military has no match with Indian military might. There are talk of surgical operation in Pakistan by Indian military, that can only happen if both countries make understanding among themselves, just like Nehru and Ayyub Khan had done during 1965 war to settle the score in both countries. India has to do some thing otherwise Congress would never be able to win elections in India next time, as we have seen anger with in Indian public against their Govt and it is very real. India also got an opportunity, just like U.S. after 9-11 and this time India has support of every one but U.S. is worried about the disruption of its war on terror. U.S. sectary of state has gone to India and Pakistan to tell them control themselves and do not hurt U.S. interests in the region. Indian and Pakistani states are not independent, so that it is most likely, they will obey what they have been told to do. Actually Jihadis are also want Pakistan and India to go on all out war and destroy each other, some how both states have been trapped by these terrorists, Pakistan would not be able to take any action against these Jihadis because they have enough sympathizers in its military ranks and files, civilian Govt is very weak to do any thing by its own and military still needs these Jihadis in the country to destroy democratic Govts. India can only control its peoples anger taking action against Jihadis camps but how it would be possible, since situation is very complicated. One thing is very clear that this attack on Mumbai would decide the fate of these Jihadis, they might have signed their own death warrants, or it would be death of millions of Indians and Pakistanis, out come of anger and this level of hatred could be result of any thing.

COORDINATOR IC JKNAP

Dear Ajaz Sahib,

I am totally agree with you, no doubt there is no place in any religion for these people, we do denounce them, condemn them, every Muslim wonders can Muslim do this kind of horrible act of violence which is no means justified. Actually, we must face one reality that these groups do exist in Muslim societies, they do have support among one section of Muslim society, they do preach and teach this so called Jihadist ideology and people do glorify their acts of violence. We do not need to care what western imperialist powers say which have been responsible creating this menace in Muslim countries, what India says, What enemies of Islam say but we do need to care about their religious ideology, it would be more harmful to our own people, as we have seen them that these groups are not only damaging Muslim societies but also spreading hateful ideology among Muslim youth, which would be worst enemy of our people. There are too much injustices in Muslim societies but instead of struggling against them properly, it is the the way of destroying every thing. I do know why we do not accept that it is a problem in our societies and we have to tackle it properly, no matter what enemies of Islam say about but is our problem at the first place. Why we are too sensitive to say that some Muslim are committing this crime, does our religion teaches and preaches lying, if not why we shy to say that it is a problem among Muslim, it would benefit any of our enemy but most beneficiaries would be our innocent people. We are still trying to be hypocrites, just saying that whoever is involved in these criminal acts can not be Muslim, Muslim can not do that, it is a work of anti Islam forces, etc etc. I do not know who we are going to fool, only ourselves, if we are blind, no one can help us.

If we do not call them '' Jihadis'' or Mujahid'' does it mean reality would change? As long as they call themselves Jihadis, they are running groups in the name of Islam, whole world would call them by their adopted name, if we as Muslim do not live in this world, then it may be OK. We call them what they want us to call them, no body has given them this name ''Jihadi'' If Muslim do not identify them as Muslim, religious scholars must declare them non Muslim, if they do have an authority. But it is not as simple as we think, Pakistan is the place where these groups have been produced and still production is continued, I do know them, entire world can be wrong but how we can be wrong, who live with them, grow up with these groups in same society, we opposed them openly, we rejected their religious ideology which is completely political one, their agenda is political, they want to run state affairs through this terror way and we do know their terror, we have seen them, some of us are victim of this terror, no body can fool us. It is a state based religion and has been promoted by Pakistani state apparatus with the help of U.S. Dollars, every Pakistani citizen is aware of it. I still remember my college days in Pakistani, We have lot of Kashmiri students in Hostels, ( Dom) these religious groups used to come there and teach us this new brand of Islam which was very popular that time. One of the groups used to teach us we must believe that all Shiite Muslim are Kafir ( non Muslim) if we do not believe it we could become Kafir also and they will consider us as such. When 90s came, We had taught that we Kashmiris must believe that true Jihad is underway in Kashmir valley, if we do not believe that it is a true Jihad we must be declared Kafir, as we used to oppose that so called Jihad, we been told by these religious groups that Jihad is a basic part of Islam and one of the pillars of Islam, opposing it means Kufr, we must be dealt with such manners. Surprisingly, some of these Jihadis or whatever, were our college follows and front line Jihadis, but when I met them 2002,2003, non of them was calling Kashmiri movement Jihad nor themselves Jihadi but freedom fighter and Kashmir liberation movement instead Jihad. In 1990 we were qualified Kafir and in 2002 all of us were declared good Muslim instead by our Jihadi college follows , what else can be said about it. We been called here on this forum that RAW is funding us and supporting us, POK side people say that ISI must be supporting us since ISI is also anti Jihadist now a days, what a nonsense. We only care about 15 million Kashmiris who have been suppressed and occupied by two neighboring countries, that,s all I can say. Truth will prevail and we will never hesitate to tell the truth no matter it goes against us or some body else.

Thanks.

Best regards.

Javed Inayat.

Mumbai attack was direct response to Pakistani president Asif Zardari,s statement about Kashmiri Jehadis are terrorists and two weeks ago another statement of India , Pakistan relations during a video conference in Delhi. There is very a little doubt that LET is not responsible and ISI would not have been direct or indirect involvement in this terror attack on Mumbai city. We all know that these Jehadi groups have been created by ISI to do their dirty work in the region. In Pakistan these Jehadi groups have been running big centers, Madrases, training camps, They are spreading Jehadi propaganda openly everywhere, their publications can be seen openly, pamphlets against India is nothing new and Jihad against India has been their only mission in the region. Conspiracy theories are also flying all over but there are so many indicators and enough proofs of Lashkar Toiba was involved in this attack. These Jihadi groups do not like to see on going peace process between India and Pakistan to be succeeded. They can do whatever would be necessary to derail this peace process.

It was also infavour of Pakistani Military establishment to pull out its one hundred twenty five thousands troops from north frontier areas, where these troops have been fighting against its own creation Taliban, which has been considered an American war not by Pakistani people but also Army personnel, who are unwilling to fight against Pakistani Taliban. A large section of Pakistan army itself is a Jihadi and sharing the same religious views, having great sympathies with these Jihadis in the country. The planners of Mumbai attacks thought that this ruthless act will provoke Indian state to attack Pakistan in retaliation and Pakistan would immediately move its 1,25000 troops from western border to eastern border to fight India. These Jihadis wanted to disrupt military operation in FATA, which is clearly an American war and paid by America but Pakistani military has tied up there and does not like to win this American war against Taliban.

There is no doubt that some of these terrorist attacks are direct act of Jehadis, ISI may not be involved directly or some times may not even at all but its creations do know what is need be done, because they have been taught and trained by their creator. Their mission is to destroy India but their little minds have little thinking, killing 200 hundred innocent Indian citizens have nothing to do the destruction of Indian state nor it would benefit Kashmiri movement, even though it would be the destruction of Indian Muslim community, but they they do not care about anything because they think that they are the only Muslim, since majority of Muslim do not buy their version of Islam. They are waging Jihad against everybody and it is a modern day Jihad, no one should surprise.

Mumbai Terror, Who is responsible?

Dear A.M.Siraj Sb,
Thanks for your comments,difference s of opinion are the beauty of this forum. I am a graduate in Islamic jurisprudence and preventive law. I strongly believe that religion is a personal matter of an individual human being. As followers of Deen we don`t need to impose our possessive ideology on others. Only our good actions (deeds) are needed to convince others. Actions speak louder than words. This is what has happened in the subcontinent.
I fully agree with your opinion that Muslims are damaging themselves rather than outsiders, Mr. Anjum is one of them. Terrorism is a major problem in this world it is therefore the duty of Muslim Scholars to isolate Islam from Terrorism. There is only a limited number of fundamental people who call themselves muslims that carry out these atrocities under the banner of Islam. You correctly stated that we should not get embroiled in tarring everyone with the same brush as the non muslim world appears to be doing and creating even greater Islamaphobia.

A comprehensive definition is needed for terrorism in no dictionary is terrorism defined as an act carried out by a muslim so why argue on such issues.

In fact indiginous national liberation, fundamental human rghts and killing of innocents are completely different things.

It is good for kashneters to find common grounds to move forward.

Kind regards

Nadeem

Dear Anjam, Nadeem and Javid Sahib,

If we were to go past this back and forth in personal attacks, which only serves to distract from real message, we may be able to communicate the issue and perhaps come to some agreement. The real issue, as mentioned by Anjam sahib, is how the duties mandated by Islam are projected negatively, especially by our own Muslims! I am in full agreement with this.

The fact of the matter is that the enemies of Islam have worked hard to associate Islam with so called terrorism. Part of this effort is to use Islamic terms and anglicize them to give them that negative connotation. For example, they use words like "Jihadist" and "Islamist" (sic) when Arabic words with same meaning would be Mujahid and Muslim. Secondly, they automatically connect any act of terror with Jihad and Islam, whether there is any connection or not.

However, such acts are expected from those who hate Islam. We can not expect anything better from them. The issue is when our own Muslim brothers use similar language to express their political difference with some groups. We should be careful not to fall into this trap of Islamophobes to call bad/criminal people among us "Jihadi". We should know better that Islam does not permit acts such as what happened in Mumbai. In fact, we Muslims should go on offensive to denounce those who associate Islam with terror. Let us call terrorist just that - terrorist. It is about time! If LeT is responsible for any un-Islamic act then how can we even call them "Jihadi"? How can we even associate them with Islam?

Ma Salam

I know Mr.Javid he is a longstanding political worker from POK.He is working for the pro-people stance and many other Kashneters known him very well.
Would you be able to tell us about your self who you are and why you are delivering a nasty posts on Kashnet.
I notice that you have a very little knowledge about Kashmiri territory and political themes.
You are in difficult position maybe you don`t have sufficient under standing of issues and problems or ?
You will try to re- frame the question`s and issues that you want to know,and try to answer in reasonable shape that every one understand it .
I hope you should use the common sense and logic to deliver you point of view,otherwise you are not save in glass house?
You can`t achieve anything with nasty blame game.
Waiting for your positive reply in early course.

Kind Regards,
Nadeem
