ISLAMABAD: Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) former prime minister Chaudhry Abdul Majid said that Pakistan’s foreign policy regarding Kashmir failed to be effective.

HE said this in a seminar held under International Lobbing Group Youth for Kashmir on Saturday.

Majid said that Pakistan’s foreign policy regarding Kashmir seems to have failed miserably. “We have sacrificed a lot for Pakistan, but it seems that rulers of Pakistan don’t consider us as a priority,” he added. A Kashmiri politician, Abdur Rasheed Turabi said, “People are saying we planned the Burhan Wani murder to start the movement. They should avoid making such accusations, as it affects the indigenous freedom movement.” While expressing his concern over Pakistan’s policies, he said, “Pakistan diplomatic policy is extremely weak”.

Another Kashmiri political leader, Ghulam Muhammad Safi said, “We do not agree with policies of Pakistan. They are extremely weak and need changes, and Pakistan should launch a forceful campaign so that the world can know what we are going through.”

All the organisations made a unanimous call that the parliament should form a national policy of Kashmir, which the government cannot alter and the chairmanship of Kashmir Committee should be withdrawn from Maulana Fazalur Rehman. “We don’t accept a Kashmir Committee, which does not include a Kashmiri,” they said.
