MUZAFFARABAD, Jan 28: Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) chief Amanullah Khan has said that his organisation would fight all proposals for resolving the Kashmir issue that were not based on the unfettered and freely expressed will of the people of the entire state, including the Kashmir valley, Jammu, Ladakh, AJK and Gilgit-Baltistan, or that could result in permanent division of the region.

In a statement issued here, the JKLF leader claimed that President Pervez Musharraf’s four-point formula had not been discussed during a meeting between the All Parties’ Hurriyat Conference delegation from held Kashmir and the leadership based in Azad Jammu and Kashmir and there was no question of declaring full support to it.

Mr Khan said the conference had resolved, on his suggestion, that no solution to the problem which was against the freely expressed and unfettered will of the people of the entire state would be acceptable but the final draft of the resolutions had allegedly been changed and a section of the media had dropped the particular resolution while covering the event.

“The JKLF does not approve the formula as it neither makes any mention of the Kashmiris’ right to self-determination nor of re-unification of the divided state of Jammu and Kashmir,” he said.
