Special Conference on Kashmir in House of Commons London Wednesday 26th October 2011

Dear Members of Parliament UK,



Re:
Special Conference on Kashmir on Wednesday 26th October 2011 in Committee Room P at Port Caullis House, House of Commons London from 6pm to 8pm.
Where the Newly Elected Prime minister of Azad Kashmir Ch Abdul Majeed will be present as the Chief Guest.
Organised by Jammu Kashmir Self Determination Movement Europe.
Invitation by Raja Najabat Hussain on behalf of Jammu Kashmir Self Determination Movement.





I am writing to you on behalf of the Jammu Kashmir National Independence Alliance (JKNIA) UK in your capacity as a possible invitee to the above mentioned Special Conference at the House Commons at 6-00pm on Wednesday 26th October 2011 to draw your attention to the following issues which are relevant for proper exercise of the Right of Self Determination for the independence of entire Kashmir (including both the Indian Occupied Kashmir and the Pakistan Occupied Kashmir)



1. That any referendum or vote on right of self determination must include an option for a United and completely Independent Kashmir and not just the options for Kashmir being part of India or Pakistan.



2. Any negotiations on the referendum or vote on right of self determinations must include representation from Kashmiri organisations and parties who support the Option of United and completely Independent Kashmir as this view is not represented by the people who are part of the State Government in Indian and Pakistani Occupied Kashmir.



3. As you may be aware and may be able to verify from the Chief Guest who is representing Pakistan Occupied Kashmir at the conference on 26th October as the Prime minister of the Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (Azad Kashmir) represents a Legislative assembly for which people and parties supporting the idea of independent Kashmir are not allowed to take part in the election.In order to qualify as the candidates for the elections for this assembly they have to declare an Oath that they support the annexation of Kashmir to
Pakistan.



As you may be aware JKNIA is an alliance of a number of Political Parties and organisations working for the peaceful resolution of the Kashmir issue through negotiated settlement for complete independence and unification of Kashmir.



We are writing to request you to take into consideration the issues raised above which are supported by many people of Kashmiri origin living in the UK including many who may live in your constituency and kindly consider making your support for right of self determination conditional to the inclusion of the option for united and completely independent Kashmir and asking the Government of Pakistan and Pakistan Occupied Kashmir to lift the ban on the parties which support the option of United and completely independent Kashmir.

Kashmiri Diaspora An Excluded Identity in Britain.

On 15th August 1947The British Paramountcy ceased to exist and the sovereignty of the Kashmir state was legally reverted to the people of Kashmir automatically This reversion of sovereignty to the people of Kashmir was in the consequences of the provision 7B of the Indian Independence Act1947.The people of Kashmir had a legal Right of Self-Determination to shape their own destinies by forming their own Government? After 64 years of this conflict between India and Pakistan fought full scale wars and forcibly divided former princely state Jammu Kashmir into four parts Indian Occupied Jammu Kashmir (IOK),Pakistan Occupied Kashmir, (POK), Azad Kashmir, Gigit Baltistan , Aksai Chin (Chinese control areas) Pakistan gifted to China in 1962.We urge to all extend to their full support for United Independent Kashmir, free of military and every sort of weapons. Inclusion of British Kashmiri as a ethnic group in Britain.We would like to draw your attention to the other forms of human rights violation on both sides of the division line in Kashmir. The worse form of the violation is to bar any person or political party from participating in elections, joining employment or issuing any publication without pledging support to state’s accession to Pakistan or the Indian Constitution. These restrictions closes all the doors for peaceful, democratic and civil forms of protest and leave young Kashmiris vulnerable to ‘illegal’ and ‘extreme’ means of expressing their aspirations for independence.
Another rights violation of Kashmiri Diaspora which has roots in Jammu Kashmir but migrated to Britain is the negation and non-recognition of Kashmiri identity in Britain and branding British Kashmiris as Pakistanis or Indians depending which side of the division they come from. It is time that British MPs ask the governments of India and Pakistan to lift undemocratic banns on political participation in democratic process, release all political prisoners, issue state subject in a card form and let all state subjects move freely across the division line, initially all the families that are divided across the division line to be free to see each other without going through years long bureaucratic processes. However, as you can see the issue is primarily a political one and needs political approach to address the issue of military and civil occupation of Jammu Kashmir by India and Pakistan that causes HR violations in Jammu Kashmir. The following measures to resolve the Kashmir Question according the will and wishes of the people of Kashmir:

Withdraw all foreign forces from all parts of Kashmir state;
Release of all political Prisoners including the mortal remains of the leader of national independence and unification movement Mohammed Maqbool Bhatt from Tihar prison Delhi;
Complete freedom of trade and movement across the division line and internationally for all the State Subjects ;
Freedom of Press and Assembly ;
Removal of all restrictions on the politics of independence for free and fair elections in the entire state for regional assemblies and a national assembly;
Making necessary arrangements for Self Determination including and with the right to independence through a fair, free and democratic mechanism.

4th OCTOBER 1947 IS THE BIRTHDAY OF THE PROVISIONAL REPUBLICAN GOVERNMENT OF JAMMU KASHMIR

 
4th OCTOBER 1947 IS THE BIRTHDAY OF THE PROVISIONAL REPUBLICAN GOVERNMENT OF JAMMU KASHMIR

By, M.A.Aseem

4th October 1947 is the true birthday of the provisional Republican Government of Kashmir also known as Azad Kashmir Government. The nearest past origin of Republican Government of Kashmir lies in the uprising in Poonch during the year of 1947. the simmering revolt in Poonch erupted into an open resistance in July - August 1947. it sparked of by a series of events and exploded by the British announcement that the two new states. Bharat and Pakistan, in British India were to be created and British imperialism was about to leave India.

In January 1947, assembly elections were conducted in Kashmir. In February, Atlee, the British Prime Minister, announced the British Government's decision to quit India in the very near future. The people of Kashmir suspected that something was going to happen, but no one knew where and how. It happened in Poonch in the spring of 1947. The Raja of Poonch was a tributary to the Maharaja of Kashmir. He was dispossessed of his estates during the Second World War and Maharaja of Kashmir began to collect taxes in Poonch. Both the rulers and the taxes were very harsh and exacting. The people of Poonch defied the law of Maharaja by unleashing a no tax campaign in spring 1947,

Among the 7167 Kashmir! soldiers who served in the Second World War 6402 were from Poonch. The people of Poonch complained against the harsh taxes. There was a tax on every hearth, every window, every wife, every cow, every sheep and every buffalo. Further more, The zaldari tax was imposed to pay the cost of taxation, and Dogra troops were billeted on the people of Poonch to enforce the collection. Maharaja Hari Sing had previously refused to accept these soldiers in his military forces after their demobilization and had sent them back to their farms. At the same time, he had strengthened his garrisons in the areas of Poonch including Mirpur with the Sikhs and Hindu Dogras. The people of Poonch including Mirpur did not take it laying down.

No sooner did the appointed day (15th August 1947) arrive than they set themselves for combing the areas for the establishment of a free zone in south-western part of the Kashmir State. On 15th August 1947, the British Paramountcy ceased to exist and the sovereignty of the Kashmir State was legally reverted to the people of Kashmir automatically. This reversion of sovereignty to the people of Kashmir was in the consequence of the provision 7B of the Indian Independent Act of 1947. Thus, the people of Kashmir had a legal right of self-determination to shape their own destinies by forming their own government.


As a result, the struggle for the liberation and independence of Kashmir accelerated by the uprising in Jammu and Poonch around September-October 1947. it was during this period of struggle that Provisional Republican Government of Kashmir (Azad Kashmir Government) was formed on 4th October 1947. On that day the patriotic members of the Muslim Conference assembled at Paris Hotel in Rawalpindi to form a revolutionary government of Kashmir. After several meetings and long deliberation the draft declaration was eventually finalized. The cabinet of this government consisted of:
Khwaja Ghulam Nabi Gilkar (Anwar)-Presedent
Sardar Mohammad Ibrahim Khan - Prime Minister
Nazir Hussain Shah - Finance Minister
Mr Aleem - Education Minister
Mr. Karkhana - Industry Minister
Mr. Fahim - Agriculture Minister

Muzaffarabad was made as headquarters of the Provisional Republican Government. In this connection another meeting was held at Persian Hotel on 5th October. About 200 Kashmiris participated this meeting and all agreed to the declaration and offered their full support and assistance to the newly born Independent Republican Government of Kashmir.

On 4th and 5th October 1947, Radio Pakistan broadcast the declaration of the Provisional Government repeatedly. The declaration was also published in several newspapers.
The Civil and Military Gazette Lahore of 8th October 1947 writes:
Provisional Republican Government for Kashmir Muslim Conference Leaders Announcement
"A provisional Republican Government has
been set up for Kashmir State with headquarters at
Muzaffarabad in Kashmir territory 20 miles from
Pakistan border, according to the telegram received from
Rawalpindi on Saturday night. The message which is
signed by Mr. Anwar who describes himself as the
President of Provisional Republican Government of
Kashmir state, with the termination of paramountcy of
the Biritsh Crown the ruling family of Kashmir have lost
whatever rights it claimed under the treaty of Amritsar
(1846) under which Kashmir was transferred by the
British to Maharaja Ghulab Singh a forefather of the
present ruler for a paltry sum of rupees 50 lakhs and that
the payment with headquarters at Muzaffarabad.
The people have set up a Provisional Republican
Government

message further states, if after one a.m. on 4th October 1947, Hari Sing the ...(deposed) Maharaja or any person acting under his orders or instructions claims to rule over the state, he shall be punished according to the laws of the Provisional Government Henceforth all laws, orders and instructions promulgated or issued by the Provisional Republican Government of Kashmir State to be respected and obeyed. Mr. Anvvar is a prominent member of Kashmir Muslim Conference, the president of \\liich is Choudhary Ghulam Abbas and the general secretary Agha Shuwkat Ali (who) have been imprisoned for about a year by the (illegal) Kashmir government, (A.P.I)."

The opportunist politicians of Kashmir overthrew this Provisional Republican Government of Kashmir on 24th October 1947, after 20 days of its birth, in the name of its ‘reconstitution’. They succeeded easily because two days after the formation of the Provisional Republican Government, its President Khwaja Ghulam Nabi Gilkar Anwar rushed to Srinagar. His purpose was to form an underground resistance in the support of the Provisional Government, to arrest deposed and illegal ruler Hari Sing, and to warn Shaikh Muhammad Abdullah against the so-called Kashmir's accession to Bharat.

During the first two weeks of October the armed struggle that started by the people from different areas of the state hindered the return of the founder President back to Muzaffarabad. He was eventually arrested in Srinagar and his absence from Muzaffarabad paved the way for the opportunists to succeed in overthrowing Provisional Republican Government of Kashmir and turning it into a puppet government. Today. The opportunist Kashmir! politicians refuse to accept that the Azad Kashmir Government was set up on 4th October 1947. they continue, shamefully, to celebrate 24th October as the birthday of Azad Kashmir Government Where as the declaration issued with the name of reconstitution of Azad Kashmir Government RECOGNISES the legitimacy of the Provisional Republican Government and the formation of its cabinet. The declaration issued in the name of the reconstitution of the Azad Kashmir Government on 24th October 1947 itself cries out loudly about the true birthday of the Provisional Government that can be seen in 'The Pakistan Times1 of Saturday 25lh October 1947.

It states, 'The Provisional Azad Government which the people of Kashmir had set up- a few weeks ago, with the object of ending intolerable Dogra tyrannies and securing to the people of the state, including Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs, the right of the free self-government has now established its rule over a major portion of the state territory and hopes to liberate the remaining pockets of Dogra rule very soon. In view of this circumstance it has been RECONSTITUTED with Mr. Ibrahim Bar - at - law of Poonch as its provisional head, and its headquarters had been moved to Plundri in Poonch. The RECONSTITUTED government was formed on 24th OCTOBER 1947.

its cabinet consisted of Sardar Mohammad Ibrahim Khan - as President, and other ministers Sayed Ali Ahmed, shah Chaudhary Abdullah Khan Bhali, Khwaja Ghulam Din Vani, Sayed Nazir Hussain Shah and Sana Ullah Shamim."

The declaration issued in the name of the 'reconstitution' of the Provisional Azad Government itself admits the formation of Azad Kashmir Government on 4th October 1947 by stating three factual indicators. The first indicator, 'the Provisional Azad Government which the people of Kashmir set up a few weeks ago' — shows the true birthday of Provisional Republican Government. The term 'RECONSTITUTION' is itself an indicator to prove that the Provisional Republican Government on 4th October 1947. Understandably, the reason for not celebrating 4th October as the true birthday of Azad Kashmir Government lies in the final paragraph of the declaration. It says, 'the question of accession of the state Jammu and Kashmir to either DOMINION can only be decided by free vote by the people in the form of referendum'. This, without any doubt, can be regarded as no less than a historical raid against the legitimacy of the Provisional Republican Government of Kashmir set up on 4"' October 1947 and the basis for changing its political programme.

Thus, the course of struggle from 24th October 1947 onward has been diverted from National Independence to accession first to either Dominion and then with the passage of time to Pakistan. After looking at the declaration issued on 24lh October 1947, one should need no other authoritative statement or material to certify that the Provisional Republican Government of Kashmir or Azad Kashmir Government came into being on 4th October 1947.

Gilgit Baltistan- Karachi Pact 28 April 1949

Jammu Kashmir National Independence Alliance (JKNIA)



28 April 2011




H.E.Mr. Asif Ali Zardari
President of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan,
President House,
Islamabad,

Re: Gilgit Baltistan- Karachi Pact 28 April 1949

Dear Mr President,

We, the members of the Jammu Kashmir National Independence Alliance would like to express our deep dismay and disgust in continuation of the Karachi Pact imposed by Government of Pakistan on the people of Gilgit Baltistan on 28 April 1949.

We believe that this forced agreement considered by the citizens of the state of Jammu and Kashmir as an ‘Enslavement Deed’ has continuously deprived the people of Gilgit and Baltistan (the areas of Jammu and Kashmir under direct control of Pakistani Government since 1949) from their fundamental political, economical, self-governance human rights and access to justice.
For the last 62 years the people of Pakistani occupied Gilgit Baltistan and Pakistani Occupied ‘Azad’ Kashmir vehemently protested against this ‘Karachi Pact’ signed under duress by the Intrem Authority of Jammu Kashmir with Government of Pakistan on 28th April 1949.

Therefore, we urge you as President of Pakistan, to take urgent action to halt violation of human rights and Jammu Kashmir state subject rule in Gilgit Baltistan. we would like tom bring to following to your attention which are of deep concerns.

Imposition of Gilgit-Baltistan (Empowerment and Self-governance) order 2009.

The imposition of Gilgit-Baltistan (Empowerment and Self-governance) order 2009 does not meet the constitutional and self-governance needs and aspirations of the people of Gilgit Baltistan. In our view this is another attempt of Government of Pakistan to annex these parts of the State of Jammu Kashmir as a de-facto 5th province of Pakistan.

Jammu Kashmir National Independence Alliance (JKNIA) calls for a fully democratic and accountable constitutional assembly with complete self-governance legislative powers in Gilgit Baltistan and transfer of all powers to the citizens of the State of Jammu and Kashmir in Gilgit Baltistan which are currently held by Ministry of Kashmir Affairs, Government of Pakistan by virtue of ‘Karachi Pact’.

Restore and respect the Jammu Kashmir state subject rule of 20th April, 1927 in all matters relevant to discharge of your government’s responsibilities under United Nations Commission for India and Pakistan (UNCIP) resolutions within the jurisdiction of Gilgit and Baltistan.

Facilitate and respect the right of all the citizens of the State of Jammu Kashmir to free movement and trade within, between and across all parts of the state of Jammu Kashmir (Gilgit Baltistan POGB, ‘Azad’ Jammu Kashmir POK and Indian administered Jammu Kashmir IOK).

Arbitrary Arrests and attack on Civil Society in Gilgit Baltistan

Restoration of democratic rights and genuine development require the existence of civil society and freedom of speech that is able to operate freely without fear, intimidation or attack. The current situation for civil society groups and indigenous political organisations is dire and requires urgent attention. Reports we have received from our members and partners in Gilgit Baltistan are deeply disturbing, with hundreds of members of civil society and local indigenous political parties reported detained without fair judicial trial, many in unknown locations.

Jammu Kashmir National Independence Alliance (JKNIA) calls for the release of all those detained without charge. In addition, we reiterate that, under international law, civil society and indigenous political parties in Gilgit Baltistan must be allowed to operate freely without intimidation or attack and that all the fundamental rights of the citizens of the Jammu Kashmir State in Gilgit Baltistan according to UNCIP resolutions and other international covenants that Pakistan is signatory of must be restored and respected without further delay.

Restrictions on freedom of expression

We have noted your efforts in recent years to increase political space and freedom in Pakistan but it is particularly disappointing to witness the reversal of this in Gilgit Baltistan and ‘Azad’ Jammu Kashmir, evidenced by the arbitrary arrests of indigenous political parties’ activists, threats of detention of journalists, as well as arrests, raids on local newspapers and printing presses, the prevention of publication, and new regulations for print and broadcast media. Such actions stifle free expression, violate human rights and destroy your recent record on advancing democracy.
.
JKNIA calls for freedom of speech and movement within and between Gilgit Baltistan and Azad Jammu Kashmir, including the repeal of ‘Karachi Pact’, release of all political activists detained, and that radio, print, television and electronic media be allowed to operate freely.

Actions have purported to maintain law and order, but in reality the targets have so far been the, civil society and indigenous political activists, the media and all voices of independent and democratic dissent. For the promotion of the well-being of all the citizens of the State of Jammu Kashmir currently living under direct control of Pakistan in Gilgit Baltistan or in Pakistan administered ‘Azad’ Jammu Kashmir, these communities must be supported, not stifled. We appeal to you to immediately reverse recent actions that undermine democracy, freedom and fundamental rights; and instead act in the interest of people and support the vital work being conducted by civil society in Gilgit Baltistan (POGB)and ‘Azad’ Jammu Kashmir (POK).

Yours sincerely,
for and behalf of
JKNIA

ENSLAVEMENT DEED KARACHI PACT 28TH APRIL 1949 TRUE REFLECTION OF PAKISTAN`S KASHMIR POLICY.

Mustaq Goormani Minister without portfolio (office),

POK Govt. (Sardar Ibriaham KhanPresidant POK Govt).

The Muslim Conference(Ch.Gulam Abbas President Muslim Conference)

Pakistan retained control of the following subjects

1. Defence
2. Foreign policy’ of POK
3. Rehabilitation of refugees and
4. Control over all affairs of Gilgit and Ladakh.

The POK government was saddled with overseeing

1. The policy with regard to administration

2. General supervision of administration, and

3. Publicity of its own activities. The charter of the Muslim Conference was restricted to publicity on the plebiscite and ‘general guidance of the POK government’. The Karachi Pact was a landmark in that it sought to institutionalize Kashmiri subservience to Pakistan and put POK in its place.

Last 62 years people of Gilgit Baltistan (POGB) and (POK) ‘Azad’ Kashmir constantly protested against the Karachi Pact 28th April 1949 and demanded for this authoritarian and colonial like agreement to be abolished and replaced with an equal, fair, democratic and empowering governance system which controls by state subject holders of the state of Jammu Kashmir.

To support the people of Gilgit Baltistan (POGB) .Creation of a De facto fifth Pakistani Province Gilgit Baltistan via Empowerment and Self-governance order 2009.Unfair rigged election and discriminatory laws which only support to the foreign elements and set up of a status quo. In this context the JKNIA members parties fully endorse and support the demands made by the people of Gilgit Baltistan (POGB) and Azad Kashmir (POK).

Police FIR against the leadership of JKNAP Dadyal POK.

The FIR lodged by Dadyal police against the leadership of JKNAP Dadyal POK.It is a real face of Pakistani Occupation in POK.Where secrete agencies are always playing their dirty role in POK.We urge all political parties and human right organisations to raise their voice against this political victimisation in POK.

کشمیر یوں کی جداگانہ شناخت
(قسط 1 )
ازیونس تریابی
بروز جمعرات مورخہ 10 مارچ 2011 کو بی بی سی ریڈیوں ایشین نیٹ ورک پرایک بجے بعد دوپہر نیہال (Nihal) کے پروگرام میں عنقریب شروع ہونیوالی مردم شماری (census) کے فارموں میں برطانیہ میں آباد کشمیریوں اور سکھوں کی جداگانہ قومیتی شناخت کو تسلیم کروانے کے مطالبات پر ایک دلچسپ اور معلوماتی بحث ہوئی ہے ۔ تقریباً ایک گھنٹے کے اس پروگرام میں ایسوسی ایشن آف برٹش کشمیری کے راہنما شفق حسین نے برطانوی کشمیریوں کی نمائندگی کرتے ہوئے یہ دعویٰ کیا ہے کہ برطانیہ میں مردم شماری کرانے کا ذمہ دار ادارہ آفس فار نیشنل سٹیٹیسٹک(Office for National Statistics) برطانوی کشمیریوں کے خلاف امتیازی رویہ اختیار کئے ہوئے ہے ۔شفق حسین نے اپنے اس دعوے کی تائید میں یہ ایک ٹھوس دلیل پیش کی ہے کہ گزشتہ 2001 کی مردم شماری کے دوران صرف دوہزار خانہ بدوشوں نے اپنے لئے جپسی (Gypsy) شناخت ظاہر کی تو موجودہ 2011 کی مردم شماری میں اُن کی جداگانہ شناخت کو تسلیم کرلیا گیا ہے جبکہ تہیس ہزار (23,000) سے زائد کشمیریوں نے اپنی قومیتی شناخت ’’کشمیری ‘‘ ظاہر کی ہے مگر کشمیریوں کی جداگانہ شناخت کو تسلیم نہیں کیاگیا ۔
سفق حسین کے موقف پر پروگرام میں شامل آفس فار نیشنل سٹیٹیسٹک کے نمائندے نے یہ نہایت ہی بھونڈی قسم کی دلیل پیش کی ہے کہ برطانیہ میں آباد کشمیریوں کی اکثریت اپنے آپ کو پاکستانی سمجھتی ہے اس لئے کشمیریوں کی جداگانہ شناخت کو تسلیم کرنے اور ان کے لئے الگ خانہ رکھنے کی ضرورت نہیں ہے ۔ اس طرح برطانیہ کا آفس فار نیشنل سٹیٹیسٹک اصل میں برطانوی کشمیریوں کی قومیتی شناخت کے ایک جمہوری و جائز مطالبے اور برطانوی معاشرے کے ایک اہم مسئلے کو کشمیر کی جبری تقسیم اور اس پر بھارت اور پاکستان کے جبری قبضے کی سیاست کے ساتھ نتھی کرکے اسے پیچیدہ بنانے کی کوشش کررہا ہے جس سے کشمیریوں کے خلاف برطانوی حکمرانوں کے تاریخی نوعیت کے جرائم کا پنڈورا بکس کھُل سکتا ہے ۔
برطانیہ میں اپنی جداگانہ قومی کشمیری شناخت تسلیم کروانے کا کشمیریوں کا مقصد سردست مردم شماری کے مقاصد کے ساتھ جڑا ہوا ہے جوکہ خالصتاً برطانیہ کے کثیر الثقافتی معاشرے کا ایک اہم مسئلہ ہے ۔مردم شماری کا ایک بنیادی مقصد برطانیہ میں آباد مختلف قومیتوں جنہیں عام طور پر مختلف کمیونٹیز بھی کہا جاتا ہے ،کی مختلف ضرورتوں کا اندازہ لگا کر انہیں پورا کرنا ہوتا ہے۔ان میں روزگار، صحت ، رہائش ، تعلیم اورمادری زبان جیسے اہم مسائل شامل ہوتے ہیں ۔ ایک عام اندازے کے مطابق اس وقت چھ لاکھ سے زائد کشمیری برطانیہ میں آباد ہیں جوکہ برطانیہ کے کثیر الثقافتی معاشرے کا ایک اہم اور نہایت موثر جُز ہے ۔مگر مردم شماری کے فارموں میں کشمیریوں کے لئے الگ خانہ نہ ہونے کے باعث یہ معلوم کرنا ممکن نہیں ہے کہ برطانیہ میں آباد دوسری کمیونٹیز کے مقابلے میں روزگار، صحت ، رہائش ، تعلیم وغیرہ میں کشمیری کمیونٹی کس مقام پر اور کہاں کھڑی ہے ۔
ایک عام خیال کے مطابق برطانیہ میں آباد دوسری کمیونٹیز کے مقابلے میں کشمیری کمیونٹی کی نوجوان نسل میں بے روزگاری اور جرائم کا رحجان زیادہ اور تعلیم کا رحجان بہت کم ہے اور یہ تاثر عام پایا جاتاہے کہ منشیات اور اس سے متعلق جرائم میں ملوث کشمیریوں کی نئی نسل کا تناسب دوسری کمیونٹیز کے مقابلے میں زیادہ ہے اور آبادی کے تناسب کے لحاظ سے برطانیہ کی جیلوں میں بند کشمیری نوجوانوں کی تعداد زیادہ ہے ۔یہ خیالات اور تاثرات کس حد تک حقائق پر مبنی ہیں ان کا صیح اندازہ اعداد وشمار کی عدم موجودگی میں لگانا کسی طرح ممکن نہیں ہے اور اگر یہ خیالات اور تاثرات برطانوی معاشرے کے حقائق ہیں تو پھر تحقیقات کرکے ان کے اسباب کا کھوج لگانے اور انہیں دور کرنے کی ذمہ داری حکومت اور کمیونٹی کی خدمات انجام دینے والے سرکاری اداروں پر عائد ہوتی ہے ۔
اگر برطانوی کشمیریوں کو اپنی کمیونٹی کی فلاح وبہود اور اپنی نئی نسل کے بارے میں کوئی تشویش لاحق ہے اور وہ ان مسائل کو سمجھنے اور ان کو دور کرنے کاکوئی ارادہ رکھتی ہے تو اس کا صیح طریقہ کار صرف یہی ہے کہ برطانوی کشمیریوں کے ثقافتی مسائل کو بھارتی اور پاکستانی کمیونٹیز کے مسائل کے ساتھ گڈ مڈ کرکے انہیں اعداوشمار کے ہندسوں کے نیچے دبانے کی کوشش نہ کی جائے بلکہ کی جداگانہ قومی شناخت کو تسلیم کیا جائے اور برطانیہ میں آباد دوسری کمیونٹیز کی طرح کشمیری کمیونٹی کے بارے میں بھی روزگار، صحت ، رہائش اور تعلیم کی موجودہ صورت حال کے اصل اعداد وشمار کو سامنے لایا جائے اور کشمیریوں کی شکایات کاازالہ کیا جائے ۔جب سے برطانوی کشمیریوں نے یہ ادراک حاصل کیا ہے کہ اُن کی جداگانہ قومی شناخت کو تسلیم کئے بغیر برطانیہ میں کشمیری کمیونٹی کے حقوق کا موثر دفاع اور اس کی فلاح بہبودکا موثر کام ممکن نہیں ہے اُس وقت سے کشمیریوں کی جداگانہ شناخت کو تسلیم کروانے کی جدوجہد جاری ہے ۔شروع میں برطانیہ میں ایسی کشمیری تنظیموں اور گروپوں کا قیام عمل میں لایا گیا جو کشمیر کی سیاسی پارٹیوں کے اندرونی مسائل کے مقابلے میں برطانوی کشمیریوں کے مسائل میں زیادہ دلچسپی لیتے تھے اور تحریک آزادی کشمیر میں اپنے کردار کو صرف سفارتی اور سیاسی محاذ تک محدود رکھنا چاہتے تھے ۔ان برطانوی کشمیری تنظیموں اور گروپوں نے کشمیریوں کی جداگانہ قومی شناخت کو تسلیم کرانے کی جدوجہد کا آغاز کیا اور اس جدوجہد میں کچھ کشمیری انفرادی طور پر بھی شامل تھے لیکن کشمیریوں کی جداگانہ شناخت کو تسلیم کروانے کی جدوجہد کرنے والے ان گروپوں و تنظیموں اور انفرادی کشمیریوں کے درمیان کوئی کوآرڈی نیشن موجود نہ تھی ۔اپنے اپنے طور طریقے سے جدوجہد کرنے والی ان تنظیموں میں سے ایک کشمیری ورکرز ایسوسی ایشن بھی تھی ۔
1998 ء میں کشمیری ورکرز ایسوسی ایشن(برطانیہ) کے چیئر مین شفق حسین نے جو اب ایسوسی ایشن آف برٹش کشمیری کے ساتھ وابستہ ہیں، کشمیریوں کی جداگانہ شناخت کو تسلیم کروانے کے لئے مردم شماری کے ذمہ دار ادارے آفس فار نیشنل سٹیتیسٹک ، ممبران پارلیمنٹ اور مختلف مقامی کونسلوں کو ایک خط لکھاجس پر مردم شماری کے ڈائریکٹر گراھم سی جونز (Graham C Jones) اور ممبران پارلیمنٹ میں سے راجرگاڈسف (Roger Godsif) ، ٹونی بن(Tony Ben) اور ولیم ھیگ(William Hague) نے مثبت اور حوصلہ افزا جوابات دیے ۔اس دوران بریڈ فورڈ اور اس کے ارگرد رہنے والے شمال کے کشمیری بھی کشمیریوں کی جداگانہ شناخت کو تسلیم کروانے کا کام کررہے تھے ۔لہذامورخہ 20 ؍ جنوری 1999 ء کو مختلف کشمیری جماعتوں ، گروپوں اور شہروں کے کشمیری نمائندوں کی ایک کانفرنس بریڈ فورڈ میں بلائی گئی جس میں کشمیریوں کی جداگانہ قومی شناخت کو تسلیم کروانے کے لئے قومی سطح پر تحریک چلانے کا فیصلہ کیا گیا او راس مقصد کے لئے کشمیر قومی شناخت مہم(Kashmir National Identity Campaign) کا قیام عمل میں لایا گیا اور معروف کشمیری تریابی (پہاڑی) زبان کے قلمکار علی عدالت کو اس مہم کا کوآرڈی نیٹر منتخب کیا گیا۔
علی عدالت کے سچے جذبے ، سخت محنت اور اپنے ساتھیوں کے ساتھ مخلصانہ رویے اور بہت سے کشمیریوں کی مدد سے بارہ (12) سال کے عرصے میں کشمیر قومی شناخت مہم ایک ایسے مرحلے پرپہنچ چکی ہے جہاں اب نہ تو اس کی واپسی کا کوئی راستہ ہے اور نہ ہی اس کے رُک جانے کا کوئی امکان۔البتہ مردم شماری کے ذمہ دار برطانوی ادارے نے اگر کشمیریوں کے خلاف اپنا موجودہ امتیازی رویہ جاری رکھا تو یہ تنازعہ کشمیر پیدا کرنے میں برطانیہ کے مجرمانہ کردار کو بے نقاب کا ایک سبب بھی بن سکتا ہے کیونکہ اپنی جداگانہ قومی شناخت کو تسلیم کرانے کی یہ تحریک چند برطانوی کشمیریوں کا مسئلہ نہیں بلکہ یہ برطانیہ میں آباد کشمیری کمیونٹی کے بنیادی حقوق کا ایک سوال ہے ۔
علی عدالت کے مطابق برطانیہ کی اٹھارہ مقامی کونسلوں نے کشمیریوں کی جداگانہ شناخت کو تسلیم کرلیاہے ۔مورخہ 17 تا 23 مئی 2008 ء کے دی نیشن لندن کے مطابق کم ازکم انچاس (49) ممبران پارلیمنٹ نے ہرلی ڈے موشن (Early Day Motion) پر اپنے اپنے دستخط کرکے کشمیریوں کی جداگانہ شناخت کی حمایت کی ہے جن میں سے دو کا تعلق ٹوری ، ایک کا انڈی پنڈنٹ ٹوری، چھتیس کا لیبر ،چھ کا لبرل ڈیموکریٹک،ایک کا سکاٹش نیشنل پارٹی اور ایک کا سوشل ڈیموکریٹک اینڈ لیبر پارٹی سے ہے ۔برصغیر ہندوستان کے مختلف ممالک سے تعلق رکھنے والوں اور خاص کر کشمیریوں اور پاکستانیوں کے لئے یہ بات دلچسپی سے خالی نہ ہوگی کہ اس ہرلی ڈے موشن پر دستخط کرنے والوں میں کشمیریوں کے حق خود ارادیت کی حمایت کا دعویٰ کرنے والے کسی کشمیری یا پاکستانی رکن پارلیمنٹ کانام نہیں ہے جبکہ لیسٹر سے بھارت نژاد رکن پارلیمنٹ کیتھ واز اور بریڈ فورڈ سے رکن پارلیمنت مارشا سنگھ نے ہرلی ڈے موشن پر اپنے اپنے دستخط کرکے کشمیریوں کی جداگانہ شناخت کو تسلیم کرنے کے مطالبے کی حمایت کی ہے ۔(باقی آئندہ)

The All JKNAP Comrades,

To,
The All JKNAP Comrades,

JKNAP UK held a Party meeting in Birmingham, Mr. Ikram Mir presided the meeting and a large members of the JKNAP UK board members participated in it.The main agenda was the JKNAP UK organisational issues.The JKNAP UK passed the resolution in complete confidence on the ICJKNAP spokesperson Nadim Aslam and President JKNAP UK Ikram Mir ,Vice President Zaheer Ghori,Organisor Asghir Malik ,General Sectrary Shahid hashmi,Deputy General Sectrary Wahid Ahmed , Joint Sectrary Sardar Zamir, Finance Sectrary Qaiser Khokher ,Organisor North England Shafiq Inqalibi, and Organisor Mid-land Ali Shan Chaudary.

In the resolution, JKNAP UK also condemned any conspiracy against the JKNAP UK board. JKNAP UK is a constitutionally elected body through the democratic process of convention. We are cleared that JKNAP is a socialist revolutionary organisation which believes the current economic structure of the state has totally failed to provide the basic necessities of life to the common person. The current system to run the state is totally based on corruption, oppression and to keep the control on peoples mind and impose the ruler through different unfair means, JKNAP’s manifesto is straight and clear, to destroy the current corrupt system and build the revolution against the occupied authorities.

JKNAP UK is also aware of the fake and bogus political asylum cases in the name of party regarding the freedom struggle of Kashmir. JKNAP UK executive committee took initiative to document the JKNAP UK’s membership. However, to stop the non party, or non state element to file the fake cases in the name of party (JKNAP UK) then JKNAP executive committee also took the action against these culprit elements which involves any business deals regarding the bogus and fake Asylum claim on the name of party.


At the end of meeting a review was taken about the increasing number of members jointing the party, and the upcoming Kashmir conference in London. Two committees were also formed( audit committee and Publicity Board committee).

Audit Committee:
Shahid Hashmi, Waheed Ahmed and Shafiq Inqulabi, and Qaiser Khokher.

Only in UK party set up was elected in a workers convention and party has a written financial and political record of every single event. Which is highly appreciated by the Kahmiri Diaspora.

Since last eight months Ex-president NAP UP try hard to violate and breach party discipline and constitution and claim to create his own group against the elected leadership of JKNAP UK.

But the leadership of JKNAP UK wisely jettison him, and spread a loud and clear message for

every conspirator that revolutionary leadership is committed and able to impose party discipline in any cost.


JKNAP Belgium did very well and leadership work hard to promote party and they organise different events in a very successful way. It is a hard work of the leadership of JKNAP Belgium EU.Well done to every single comrade of JKNAP Belgium EU.


As a Spokesperson ICKNAP I will advise to JKNAP UK and JKNAP Belgium that they will continue their hard work until they decide by themselves to chose new elected leadership via broader base consultation and democratic workers convention (One member one vote).

The new lad who wants to work with JKNAP UK must have to take party membership which generates minimum funds for the party.

Sporter,Member, Worker and Comrade are different layers for the party structure.



JKNAP UK stands with


1-Ikram Mir President (Acting)

2-Zaheer Ahmad Gouhary Vice President


3-Sahid Hashmi General Secretary

4-Waheed Ahmad Malik Deputy General Secretary

5-Sardar Zameer Joint Secretary

6-Nadeem Aslam Chairman Media Board

7-Quasir Khaksar Chairman Finance Board


8-Azad Raja (Ex. Organiser resigned)


9-Mohmmad Asghar Malik Deputy Organiser


10-Sajjad Raja (Ex. President Removed via party disciplinary action ask G.Sec.UK for full case details)


For the conclusion I will request to the National Council JKNAP to act upon mention points below.


1-Appoint new Coordinator IC JKNAP within existing comrades of IC JKNAP.


2-Nearly few months ago proposals for constitutional backing to IC JKNAP already been sent to the national council and the constitutional committee of JKNAP. We are awaiting hearing from National Council JKNAP.


3-Please approve IC JKNAP addendum list as soon as possible to improve our working capacity.


4-Coming election for POK constituent assembly ,JK NAP decided to take part in this election,but NC JKNAP still not ask us that which kind of role we can play for them?


5-Some guys have claim Asylum in different parts of the world on party membership.Is NC JKNAP is fully aware of all this ,could NC guide us bout this issue.Because some beneficiaries don`t have any contribution towards our liberation struggle.Its is a infringement of those genuine comrades who spent years in JKNSF and JKNAP and in difficult times they stand with us.


We need to draw a line between genuine comrades and opportunist elements.


I try to clear some issues,which we are facing on international front.


If anyone need further clarification related to these issues mention above please don't hesitate to contact me.


I will appreciate your contribution towards IC JKNAP.


Comradely,


Nadeem Aslam Advocate,

Spokesperson ICJKNAP


Peoples Democratic Revolution Socialism and World Peace is the Axis of our Struggle

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011
