Pakistan needs more effective diplomacy to highlight Kashmir issue at global level in the current scenario: Ali Raza Syed

ISLAMABAD, Oct 14 (SABAH): Chairman Kashmir Council European Union Ali Raza Syed has said that Pakistan needs more effective diplomacy to highlight the Kashmir issue at the global level in the current scenario.

Ali Raza Syed was addressing a seminar at National University of Modern Languages ​​(NUML), Islamabad, a well-known educational institution of Pakistan. Political analyst and university professor Tahir Naeem Malik, international relations teacher and researcher Dr. Syed Sibtain Shah and management sciences professor Dr. Abdul Wahid and student leaders Ubaid Khan and Mansoor Qaisrani also addressed the seminar.

Ali Raza Syed said that although the Kashmir issue has been a recognized global issue for the past seven decades, but after August 2019, this conflict has once again become the focus of the world’s special attention. Especially the way India has removed two provisions of its constitution for ending the special status of Jammu and Kashmir and increased atrocities on Kashmiris, the issue needs to be highlighted with a new strategy. He said that the Pakistani political leadership and Pakistan authorities should come together and formulate a new strategy on this issue by which they can stop India’s illegal actions in Jammu and Kashmir and expose India’s terrible face to the world.

Ali Raza Syed said that along with revoking the special status of Kashmir, India has changed the domicile law of Jammu and Kashmir and its nefarious purpose is to bring people from other regions of India to settle in Jammu and Kashmir. Work on this conspiracy has already started. India’s aim is to change the proportion of the population in Jammu and Kashmir in order to achieve its objectives in case of any possible plebiscite in the region of Jammu and Kashmir. He further said that many political leaders of occupied Kashmir, human rights activists and journalists are imprisoned in Indian jails and their lives are in danger.

Ali Raza Syed also addressed an other gathering called by Kashmir Council at NUML, an organization of Kashmiri students, on the occasion of his visit to the University main campus in Islamabad. During this event, Dr. Syed Sibtain Shah and Prof. Tahir Naeem introduced the guest.

Ali Raza Syed urged the Kashmiri students to pay full attention to their studies and try to understand the Kashmir issue in the current context. Try to make the world aware of Kashmir conflict and Indian atrocities against the people of Kashmir. He asked all the students present on the occasion to play their role for the development and prosperity of the society. A cake was also cut by the organization office bearers on the occasion.

Kashmir Council EU Chairman Ali Raza Syed also visited the Press Club on the invitation of Pakistan Federation of Unions of Journalists (PFUJ)’s President Muhammad Afzal Butt. The host, press club officials and other senior journalists welcomed the guest and people accompanying him.

Afzal Butt paid tribute to Chairman Kashmir Council EU Ali Raza Syed for highlighting Kashmir issue in Europe. Ali Raza Syed thanked the host and while talking on situation of human rights in occupied Jammu and Kashmir said, the occupied land needs attention of the world. He appreciated the services of Khurram Parvez, Parvez Imrooz, Parveena Ahangar, Ahsan Untoo for raising human rights of the Kashmiris. He demanded the immediate release of Muhammad Yasin Malik, Shabbir Ahmed Shah, Khurram Parvez, Ahsan Untoo and other Kashmiri prisoners.

On this occasion, Professor of Politics Tahir Naeem Malik and International Relations teacher and researcher Dr. Syed Sibtain Shah, Professor Saeed Ahmad, Mohsin Raza Khan, Abid Abbasi and others were also present on the occasion.
