Lahore (Pakistan) based Think Tank Lahore Centre for Peace Research (LCPR) and Ankara (Turkey) based Think Tank Institute of Strategic Thinking (SDE) had jointly put together this international conference. Academia, parliamentarians, Kashmir experts, journalists and eminent people from across many countries participated. SDE played the lead role in organization and hospitality of the conference. The synergy and gelling in of the leaderships of these two institutions and the work of their young scholars, made the environment friendly and participants were able to open up and make great contributions. Ambassador Shamshad Ahmad chairman, Prof. Dr. Mujahid Mansoori, Executive Director LCPR, Ambassador Khalid Mahmood Chairman ISSI of the old school and Research Scholars Bilal Ghazanfar, Sumbal Tariq and Minahil Ilyas of the young school of LCPR and Muhammet Sava Kafkasyali President SDE and Dr Furqan Hameed SDE of the old school and their younger scholars were responsible for the success of the conference. President SDE Muhammet Sava Kafkasyali navigated the discussions and ensured the traditional hospitality, with a soothing smile. Ambassador of Pakistan in Ankara Muhammad Syrus Sajjad Qazi, never missed an opportunity to clarify a muddy reference adverse to Pakistan andgreatly added to the credit of his country. In fact we were on his turf and he did not disappoint anyone. Chairman LCPR Ambassador Shamshad Ahmad very ably punctuated the advance of the conference. The two day conference examined the Political Vandalism, Military Aggression and Cultural Invasion carried out by BJP led Government in Kashmir on 5 August 2019.Conference heard how Government of India planned the dissolution of Assembly, imposition of Governors Rule and finally declared Presidential Rule, in a habitat where people have been recognised for a UN supervised Plebiscite. It was highlighted that Indian army which had entered into Kashmir under a pretext as a supplement and sub ordinate force, had violated all the seven restraints placed on it. In particular it had violated the three restraints placed on its behaviour, number and location by resolution 47 of UN Security Council. In utter disregard of its conditional presence, Indian army had carried out a military aggression. India had carried out a cultural invasion by disturbing the 92 year old State Subject Law and using its own representative, an Indian to usurp the role of an elected assembly and facilitate the passage of laws that otherwise would not have been possible, if there was an assembly in place. The conference was informed that one retired army general and member of BJP S P Sinha had announced on national TV that raping Kashmiri women and killing Kashmiris were legitimate military activities in Kashmir. It shocked the participants to know that BJP woman leader Sunita Singh Gaud had urged Hindu youth to make groups of 10 and 20 and barge into Muslim homes to “gang rape their (Muslim) mothers and sisters openly on the streets and then hang them in the middle of the bazaar for others to see”. Conference was asked to consider to recommend the action appropriate on the basis that, Maharaja invited Indian army on 26 October 1947 on the basis that “grave emergency has arisen in my State and request immediate assistance of your Government” and Nehru sent telegrams to British Prime Minister Clement Attlee and Prime Minister of Pakistan that “a Grave Situation has developed in the State of Kashmir”, therefore he was temporarily sending assistance to Maharaja and the super grave situation described “Turmoil in Kashmir” in 2019. Conference was urged that since the situation was super serious from 5 August 2019 and it merited a super serious attention of the world. It was proposed that United Nations should send her forces into Kashmir and neutralise the aggression and occupation. In this regard, it was highlighted that Pakistan should revive her proposal made at the 761 meeting of UN Security Council on 16 January 1957. Pakistan’s proposal was followed upon in a resolution sponsored by Australia, Cuba, United Kingdom and Northern Ireland and United States of America on 14 February 1957. Conference was also informed that RSS was using its outlets allover the world to seek support for Hindu nationalism and greater Bharat. India was using diaspora to blackmail the Labour Party in UK on the eve of general elections. It had prepared a video which causes offence to Kashmiri diaspora. The circulation of these views were a threat to good community relations in UK.

There was urgent need to revisit the processestablished by UN and re-activate it from the point at which it was left. A UN Representative to seek demilitarization and a UN Plebiscite Advisor to carry out a UN supervised vote had been appointed. It was pointed out thatunder article 33 of UN Charter only one means of resolving disputes had been used in Kashmir dispute. There were a number of other means and in particular as pointed out by France at the 539th meeting of UN SC on 30 March 1951 that “if the parties are unable to reach an agreement on the plan submitted to them, provision is made for arbitration, and, to make assurance doubly sure, arbitration is to be carried out by an arbiter or panel of arbitratorsappointed not by a political body but by the President of the International Court of Justice”. Arbitration has been supported by China, Yugoslavia, USA and United Kingdom and Northern Ireland. Ambassador Qazi made a strong case for UN SC Resolutions and established that India action was a violation of specific UN Resolutions and bilateral agreements with Pakistan. Ambassador corrected a suggestion that Indians had financially and through other donations of gold etc. helped the Turks during Khilafat Movement. He said that the financial aid, gifts and donations were in fact made by Muslims of British India and majority of whom were now residing in Pakistan. The suggestion of India help to Turks, in fact, was an effort to misdirect the focus of conference and remind Turkey of this help. Conference attendees agreed to take the cause of the People of Kashmir to their respective capitals and help to broaden the constituency of support for the people of Kashmir. Kashmiri segment was represented by President Masood Khan, Lord Nazir Ahmad and Dr. Syed Nazir Gilani. Ambassador of Pakistan appreciated and congratulated JKCHR President for introducing new elements and adding new and valuable information on Kashmir. It was encouraging to see leading academics from Pakistan at the conference and make valuable contributions. Main contributions were made by Prof. Dr. Ibrahim Aydinli, Dr. Syed Nazir Gilani, Ranjit Singh, Prof. Dr. Victoria Schofield, Laura Schuurmans, Prof. dr. HalilToker, HE Mir Mahmood MoosaviKhameneh, , Dr. Leonid Savin, Kimberley Dozier, Rupert Stone, Dr. Abdul Razak Ahmad, Dr. Muhammad Najib. Pakistani politician Senator Sherry Rehman and Turk politicians in particular Burhan Kayaturk made valuable contribution. Pakistan and Kashmiris have a robust support of a great institution SDE and its President Muhammet Sava Kafkasyali, indeed a man of enormous humane qualities. Kashmiris owe Kafkasyali and SDE a sincere debt of gratitude. He was a super human being on all fronts.I am still in the air and know that flight will land at 8.40pm at London Gatwick.
