India termed aggressor

Published June 10, 2002

RAWALPINDI, June 9: The chief of Tehrik Nifaz Fiqh-i-Jafariya, Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi, has said that “India is an aggressor and terrorist state” citing the violation of Pakistan’s airspace by an Indian spy plane and its shooting down.

In a statement issued here on Sunday the TNFJ chief said in the backdrop of this incident the Indian demand to stop infiltration on the Line of Control in Kashmir became a laughing stock.

He said that the Indian allegation of infiltration in Kashmir was baseless and based on imagination. He said, the freedom struggle going on in Kashmir was indigenous and so far 75,000 people have been martyrdoms there by the occupied forces.

Moosavi said the world colonial powers should realize that whether it was Middle East or South Asia, the real causes of tensions were Palestine and Kashmir issues and peace could not be restored to these regions unless the two longstanding issues were resolved.

The TNFJ chief said if the world powers wanted to ease tension then the UN should force big powers to arrang holding of a plebiscite in Kashmir.
