No end to Kashmir
issue soon: G Parthasarthy
Addressing a one day national
seminar in remembrance of unanimous resolution of Indian Parliament adopted on
February 22, 1994 on Pak occupied Jammu and Kashmir
(PoJK) present status, concerns and issues organised by Jammu and Kashmir Afghanistan ,
the dreaded militant outfits Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Jesh Mohammed will
establish their camps there which will be against the national interests of India
Mr
Parthasarthy said that Pak Army should remain confined to western borders only.
Whatever developments take place in Afghanistan
are linked to India ’s
security, he added. Sharing the views of other security analysts and speakers
over the growing influence of China
in Gilgit -Baltistan which is part of India , he said as per New York Times 11,000 to 17,000 Chinese Army is
quartered in Gilgit -Baltistan. China
and Pakistan are in an
agreement as 4000 sq kilometers of PoK land has been gifted by Pakistan to China in lieu of construction of Karakuram Highway .
Besides there are 700 projects in Gilgit-Baltistan which are funded by China
and the country is not confined to Akasi Chin but has made its inroads in
Gilgit -Baltistan also, he added.
Maintaining
that Kashmir issue will not be settled soon, Mr Parthasarthy said that Pakistan can’t challenge India but can
do a mischief. On Kashmir issue he said India will never allow creation of
the State on the basis of religion. “J&K is integral part of India and we
will never allow creation of a separate nation on the basis of religion as
people of different religions live in this State”. However he maintained that Kashmir problem from his point of view will not end soon
and prolong for years together.
He
said the people in Kashmir who talk of Azadi have built mansions in Dubai and for their
information they should visit Gilgit -Baltistan to see the condition of people
there. Earlier participating in the
seminar, former DGP and Director of the Centre for Security ,P C Dogra said it
is the indecisiveness on the part of Indian political leadership that country
has not been able to implement the Parliament resolution of 1994 by taking back
PoK from Pakistan .
He said the Army is fully equipped and they are not backed by the assertive
political leadership of the country. Pakistan
has also developed this view that India is a soft State and it can’t
do any thing so they are continuing their misadventures, he added.
Defence
Analyst Prof.Alok Bansal whose book on Gilgit Baltistan was also released on
the occasion said the people of Gilgit -Baltistan are facing atrocities and
human rights violations through the hands of Pakistan . They have many
expectations from India
and look towards it with great hope for help, he added. He said there is lot of
unrest in the region as it is facing an cultural invastion and demographic
threat from Pakistan as well
as China .
Sajjad Hussian
from Kargil while expressing concern over the plight of the people of Gilgit
Baltistan who are facing atrocities and human rights violations through the
hands of Pakistan
said while Pak left no stone unturned in harming the people of the region
Indian maintained a stoic silence over the issue. The people of the region are
fighting against identification crisis as it is a lawless territory where
people were given right to vote over three years back.
The
third session was presided over by well known scholar Prof K N Pandita. Among
other speakers included Prof Jawahar Lal Kaul and Daya Sagar, Sham Ji a
