MIRPUR, Jan 10: Jammu and Kashmir Liberation League (JKLL) President Abdul Majeed Malik has said that there can be no peace in the region without the solution of the Kashmir problem.

Talking to APP here on Thursday, he said: “British Prime Minister Tony Blair carries a high responsibility to persuade India to agree on implementation of the United Nations resolutions on Kashmir.”

He said that it was understandable that there could be no peace in the subcontinent till the Kashmir issue was settled in accordance with the wishes of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.

The former chief justice of the Azad Jammu Kashmir High Court said that the heavy build-up of armed forces in occupied Kashmir by India for over 12 years could not help it suppress the Kashmiris’ indigenous movement for liberation of their motherland.

He said that large-scale sacrifices by Kashmiris should be understood as a message that they were prepared to undergo any sacrifice to achieve their freedom and for the evacuation of the Indian forces from the state.—APP
