LAHORE, Jan 15 Nawab of Junagarh Muhammad Jehangir Khanji has said Pakistan is incomplete without Junagarh, Manawador and Kashmir.

Speaking at a special session on legal status of Indian occupation of Junagrh and other Muslim states here at the Aiwan-i-Karkunan-i-Tehreek-i-Pakistan on Friday, he said the British rulers had given the Indian states the right to join India or Pakistan or remain independent at the time of independence.

The largest state, Hyderabad decided to remain independent while his grandfather Nawab Mahabat Khanji signed an agreement for merger of the state with Pakistan on Sept 15, 1947 with Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Indian forces, however, took over the state on Nov 9, he said.

He said a majority of the people who strengthened the economy of Pakistan belonged to Junagarh. The economic experts of the state played a significant role in strengthening the country's foundation, he said. He said his ancestors wanted to see Pakistan a prosperous country and sacrificed everything for it.

Nazaria-i-Pakistan Trust chairman Majid Nizami said Pakistan had not only faced the tragedy of forcible occupation of Junagarh, Hyderabad and Manavador but had also forgotten Kashmir. He said he expected that President Asif Ali Zardari would tell India to hand over Kashmir, Junagarh and Manavador to Pakistan or get ready for an atomic war.

He said Pakistan should prefer going to war with India on water issue instead of dying of hunger and thirst.NPT vice-chairman Prof Dr Rafiq Ahmad said the agenda of division of India was incomplete because the Muslims had not been given the right to rule the areas in which they were in majority. India had not only occupied the states which opted for joining Pakistan, but was also involved in terrorist activities in Balochistan, he alleged.

India wanted to make Pakistan its part in accordance with the manifestos of Congress and BJP, he said, but no Pakistani political party had expressed such intentions.

Sahibzada Sultan Ahmad Ali said Junagarh should not only be included in the map of disputed areas, but renewed efforts should be made for its affiliation with Pakistan.

A resolution calling for setting up of Junagarh House at Islamabad and appointment of Nawab Muhammad Jehangir Khanji as federal minister was adopted at the meeting.
