India will be divided because of Modi’s ‘thinking’
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader and former president Asif Ali Zardari on Wednesday addressed the joint session of parliament stating the deteriorating situation in Indian-administered Kashmir was the second major incident ater the secession of East Pakistan into independent Bangladesh in 1971.
“The Kashmir issue is the second major incident ater the separation of East Pakistan. Pakistan Peoples Party was formed for the cause of Kashmir. Zulfiqar Ali Bhuto, ater negotiations, took back the land from Indira Gandhi,” said Zardari.
On Monday, in a rushed president decree, India abolished Article 370 of its constitution which granted special status to occupied Kashmir.
“India will be divided because of Modi’s thinking. Muslims of India and Kashmir now understand the two-nation theory of Quaide-azam,” Zardari said during the joint session.
“Does India not know there is tailor-made democracy in Pakistan?” he questioned.
Zardari said that Pakistan under Prime Minister Imran Khan is diplomatically isolated at a time when India has annexed the occupied Kashmir.
He said that immediately ater the Indian decision, the prime minister should have embarked upon visits to important world capitals to brief them about the assault.
“If this situation had happened during my tenure, I would have gone to UAE, China, Russia and Iran. We should keep our friends [close].”
He said Modi has laid the foundation for disintegration of India and added that the Kashmiris would not let New Delhi to implement its plan.
The debate on the Indian strike continued in the parliament for the second consecutive day.
Minister for Human Rights Shireen Mazari said that India’s actions in occupied Kashmir were tantamount to “war crimes done by a rogue government.”
She said sad that in light of India’s actions, the Pakistani people can call the Indian government a “rogue government.” “India has commited a war crime,” she said, adding: “We are obligated to tell the whole world that India has commited an internationally recognised war crime.”
Mazari added that the resolutions of the United Nations Security Council, which recognises Kashmir as a disputed territory, had been violated.
She said that the Simla agreement, which states that India cannot unilaterally change the status of Kashmir, had been violated.
