Jamaat-e-Islami chief Sirajul Haq has called for taking immediate and decisive steps for the liberation of occupied Kashmir as the further silence of the government will prove fatal for the cause.
In a statement issued in Lahore on Friday, he said that the JI would be at the forefront if the prime minister announced a march towards line of control in support of Kashmir cause.
Senator Siraj said that the government should not pin hopes on the UN and the west that they would come to help out besieged people of held region. Islamabad itself needed to take step in support of Kashmiri masses, he added.
The JI chief warned against the worst humanitarian crisis in IOK as the curfew entered 40th day and people have had no access to basic needs of life like food and life saving drugs. He said authentic reports were circulating about the presence of RSS hooligans in the held area who along with occupied forces were committing gross human rights violation and involved in killing of innocent people in the valley. He said the humanitarian crisis could cost thousands of lives in the IOK.
Siraj said the government failed to improve the economic condition of the country and fulfill the promises it made with the nation.—INP
