Subject: The Crisis in Jammu and Kashmir.
Dear Sir,
The increase of human right
violations, both by the security forces and militant organization and the vast
destruction of public and private property which has crippled the entire way of
life in the value of Kashmir, seems to be heading towards an unavoidable
military conflict. This situation compels me to write this letter.
The history of the last forty
years shows a very clear picture, which proves that neither party involved was
or is seriously trying to solve the problem of Jammu and Kashmir, and that they
are merely trying to put the blame of each other feet. The UN resolutions were
the result of the Indo Pakistan conflict with regard to Jammu and Kashmir,
without any mandate from the people of Jammu Kashmir.
The people of Jammu Kashmir have
been badly exploited due to the Indo Pakistan conflict. Without the consent of
the people, the state of Jammu and Kashmir has been forcibly divided of families
have been divided the economy has been crippled and the victims in this situation
are the people of Jammu and Kashmir. The last forty years.
Tragically, even today neither
side seems to realize the explosiveness of the situation or the consequences
thereof. Instead of searching for ways to avoid an ultimate political disaster,
each side appears to be adding to the explosiveness of the situation. War never
was and never will be a solution to political problems. No one will gain
anything except for the addition of ever more miseries to the lives of our
poor, innocent masses. It will lead to the massive destruction of lives and
property and it will drive us centuries backwards. If we fail to prevent a war,
history will hold us all equally responsible. Our political attitudes in the
recent past towards peace and prosperity make our own masses doubt our
sincerity. Without peace in the region, prosperity will forever remain a dream.
The objective realities of
improving the condition of the masses, the future of our children and the
historical development of our changing world demand a fundamental change in our
attitude. Keeping the whole region as a war zone is in conflict with
everybody`s basic interests.
Wrongly or rightly, it is
commonly understood that the enmity between Indian and Pakistan has no bearing
on the lives of the masses and is only artificially maintained by the ruling elite
of both the countries. Whether this commonly believed understanding is correct
or not the bureaucracy and in particular the military bureaucracy is the main
reason why nothing constructive is being done. These anti democratic forces too
do not want to solve the Jammu & Kashmir question. If we look back at the
history of the subcontinent, this trend is very clear, particularly in
Pakistan.
History has shown that every
move by any democratic government fails so long as the anti democratic forces
are strong enough to influence the democratic institutions. The anti democratic
forces resist any solution of the Jammu and Kashmir question because it will
threaten their position. The deviation of H.E Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif from
the third option leaves no doubt these forces working in the background.
How can the entire democracy be
held hostage to these “Generals” who lives in the lap of luxury in a third
world while exploiting the state powers whenever they wish to do so. Was India
liberated by General or was Pakistan creted by them? Is it not a fact that they
want to keep Jammu & Kashmir as the bone of contention? We hear often about
the frightening problems of an independent state of Jammu Kashmir, the disintegration
of India /Pakistan; the silk route; the Mangla dam the position of Muslim in
India and so forth and so on. Who is spreading all this outdated and baseless
propaganda and to what purpose? The forces in the background of course.
It is time for both
democratically elected governments to take the political initiative towards
solving the problem of Jammu and Kashmir now. Those must be decisive steps
towards peace in the region: a policy of compromise and mutual understanding
will be a precondition. Otherwise, the factional fundamentalism, terror and
violence will prevail over reason in our society.
Therefore we would like to
invite the democratic forces of both countries thought your Excellencies, to
come forward to join hands and strengthen democratic values in the region. Let
us take Jammu and Kashmir question as a first step and solve it with completely
democratic intentions.
Your Excellencies will agree
that to solve the question of Jammu Kashmir, a mandate from the people of the
state of Jammu Kashmir is the first condition towards a democratic solution.
Therefore we present the following proposals which in our view are the only way
out of the current explosive situation:
1.
With immediate effect the
borders should be opened for the people of J&K to move freely in either
part so that they could understand each other.
2.
An election for a
constitutional assembly should be held in all parts of Jammu and Kashmir
including Azad Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan without any precondition of Indian
constitution or interim constitution of Azad Kashmir and under the supervision
of the UN.
We should keep in mind that Jammu and Kashmir is
historically and geographically, a federated and confederated political entity.
Today, the situation is still very much the same Jammu Ladakh, Valley of
Kashmir, poonch and Gilgit Baltistan are very much intact political units.
A
workable and feasible mandate can only be achieved by elections based on each
constituency within these political units. The decision on the relationships
between these units must rest with the democratically elected representatives
of these units. Therefore only the people of Jammu and Kashmir will have the
final authority through their elected representative to decide the future of
their regime.
Thanking
you,
Yours Faithfully,
Hashim Qureshi

LETTER 2
To
Mr. Robert Oakley, US Institute of Peace,
Washington, January 12 – 1993
Dear Sir,
In
the name of my nation. I sincerely to express my gratefulness regarding the
highly generous initiative that you and your organization have taken regarding
the Kashmir issue to be resolved on humanitarian grounds.
May
I, first of all call your attention to what follows. While holding a peace
conference on Kashmir for the second time, you have ignored me now as at
previous occasion. I am the one started the struggle for the Kashmiri nation. I
was then just 17 years old and hijacking the Indian airplane Ganga in 1971 on
the instructions of late Muhammad Maqbool Butt, the martyr I became aware of
the problem of my nation when I was 14 years old and participated in
demonstration in Srinagar throwing stones on occupational forces. I was caught
by the police (CRPF) and brought before the court. In the meanwhile I was
severely beaten and my right leg was broken. Being still a minor, I was set
free.
Three
years later, after we made the hijacking Ganga plane land at Lahore airport,
the Pakistan authorities directed us to set it on fire providing petrol for
this purpose. Witnesses endorsed this statement in the special court set up in
Pakistan for enquiring into the hijacking. I was condemned to 19 years
imprisonment by this special court but was released after nine years of jail in
1980 on the order of Pakistani Supreme Court. In early 1970`s we thought it
necessary to turn the international attention towards Kashmir issue. This was
the reason for me to float the National Freedom battle at the peak of
terrorism. But today the political landscape is very different which has
convinced me that I should put in my efforts for a peaceful resolution of
Kashmir problem.
I
was the founder of JKLF in Pakistan with Amanullah Khan and Dr. Farooq Haider.
I am the first person who established JKLF on both sides of the occupied
Kashmir as early as 1982-84 in my capacity as Chairman of the organizational
committee. From 1984 to 1986, I became the JKLF Organizer. In 1986 I was forced
to leave Pakistan because I was seriously threatened. I took asylum in Holland.
The reason for my fleeing Pakistan was that I did not agree to become an agent
of the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) of Pakistan. As I was the head of JKLF
in both the occupied parts of Kashmir, ISI tried to bribe me and then force me
to start armed struggle against Indian occupation in Kashmir. My response was
very clear since I believe that both Pakistan and India are illegally occupying
our motherland and I do not accept that one of the two occupying forces fights
its enemy on our land. After my refusal to betray my country, Pakistan declared
me an Indian citizen and wanted to deport me to India or murder me. After I
fled Pakistan Amanullah Khan and some of his colleagues agreed to fall into the
hands of ISI.
Now
young Kashmiri boys below the age of 20 are recruited by the ISI, given one or
two weeks training in arms and sent back to the Indian occupied Kashmir in
order to fight the Indian trained militaries. The result is that they become
the targets of the bullets of Indian security forces. This is a conspiracy of
destroying the entire young generation of the Kashmir youth.
Additionally
in the name of religion various armed groups like the Afghan mujahedeen and the
armed activists of Jamaat-E- Islami and other fundamentalists, having crossed
the cease fire line and come deep into Indian held Kashmir, have wrought havoc
on the people of the valley and turned Kashmir into ruins. Indian security
forces play their own game with the result that the common Kashmiri is made to
suffer, Indian security forces are reported to have committed atrocities, rapes
and killing. Thousands of young boys continue to languish in interrogation
center and jails.
It is encouraging that an organization like yours
takes initiative to provide a platform where peaceful means of resolving
Kashmir crisis can be discussed. This should be beneficial to the Kashmiri
nation as well as to India and Pakistan. Of course India and Pakistan cannot be
allowed to impose their domination over the occupied land. An approach to this
problem is to be made not on religious but on humanitarian grounds, on
democratic and secular grounds for all the five regions of the state of Jammu
& Kashmir. No solution made on religious grounds or on regional grounds in
favour of selected groups or under pressures from a particular leadership will
be lasting. A decision has to be implemented through a genuine democratic
process which means electing representatives from all the five regions, Jammu
Gilgit Baltistan, Ladakh and Pakistan occupied Kashmir. The election process
can only take place while both Indian and Pakistan troops vacate the occupied
territories under the control of some non aligned commission which should be an
impartial body overseeing the election process and guaranteeing free,
democratic elections.
Please
also find enclosed the letters I have sent top the Prime Minister of India and
Pakistan and also the appeal I made to the Socialist Group of the European
Parliament on 18 October 1993 in Brussels. I hope that in the future your
organization will spend some time to address the basic questions involved in
the solution of Kashmir issue and which I have made an allusion here.
With
thanks

LETTER 3
To,
Mrs. Robin Raphael,
Assistant Secretary (South Asia)
US State Department
November 18-
1993
Madam, being aware of the
interest you have taken in the Kashmir issue, I wish to submit my views to you
and respectfully request you to pay some attention to them.
Madam, please realize that the
Kashmir problem has become a very serious and vital question in the sub
continent. Kashmir is my dear motherland. For nearly half a century in the
past, Kashmir has been under serious threats and pressures from India,
Pakistan, independentists factions (under the control of Pakistani ISI,
manipulative obstructionists and religious fundamentalists). This results in
frightening growth of terrorism carrying the fear of death and destruction
everywhere. Innocent people pay the price for these atrocities and the sub
continent as a whole is faced with the risk of another senseless and violent
conflict.
In the name of my convictions, which
are to restore a happy prosperous nation in Kashmir, where my people would
enjoy freedom and harmony amongst themselves, I started an armed struggle. In
1971 I hijacked the Ganga plane. After having devoted 23 years of my life to
the healing of the suffering of my people and nation as a political leader, I
have resolved to struggle now for peace by peaceful means, to pray for peace by peaceful means and I live only for peace
by peaceful means.
Madam, my nation
is abducted by armed gangs. The Indian security forces Kashmiri
fundamentalists, Pakistani ISI and feudal sectarian forces are taking my land
as a chessboard while my people sink in deep economic, physical and mental
depression. The threat of nuclear conflict in the sub continent is real. But notwithstanding
that, the problem can still be solved. The only condition is that India
Pakistan and Kashmir democratic forces sit around the table with a sincere
intention of restoring peace in Kashmir. We are ready for that.
In 1992, I addressed a letter to
the Prime Minister of Pakistan and India. A copy is enclosed. I submitted my
proposal in order to reach democratic secular solution to the problem. I also
sent an appeal to the socialist Group in the European Parliament when it
organized a round table on Kashmir, October 18- 19- 1993 in Brussels. I also
made an appeal to the European Parliament.
Madam please allow me to say
that if the US really wants peace to be restored in Kashmir then it should pay
heed to the voice of the people who struggle for democratic and secular
solutions. I began my struggle by resorting to terrorist acts. But my long
experience and my personal suffering have made me undergo a radical change in
my thinking. Violence results in greater violence bring in more victims and
destruction of cherished values. I am therefore, determined to make my
contribution of saving my nation and the sub continent from destruction and
disaster.
I requested for a meeting with
you at your convenience. I need this meeting to give you feed back from ground
situation in Kashmir. I shall be expecting your response to this request.
With thanks,
Hashim
Qureshi,
Former Organizer and Chairman
JKLF
LETTER 4
To,
MRS. Benazir Bhutto,
Her Excellency the Prime Minister of Pakistan
January 11 1994
Madam,
May I please draw your attention
to the damaging attention to the damaging attitude of your foreign ministry
regarding the Kashmir issue and its policy towards foreign embassies.
I
am a citizen of Kashmir. For the last twenty four years, I have been fighting
for the national liberation of Kashmir, starting my struggle as a follower of
late Maqbool Butt Shaheed. In 1971, I hijack the Indian aeroplane Ganga to
Lahore. Your late venerable father Mr. Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, the martyr, came in
person to welcome us at the Lahore airport.
Madam, my position is simple. I
fight for an independent Kashmir. I am against the religious splitting of
Kashmir or its accession to Pakistan or Indian. On the basis of this principle,
guided by the love for my people and nation, I wish you to know that your
Secret Service Agencies and religious fundamentalist factions are labeling me a
traitor. I am loyal to the people of Kashmir and I am loyal and respectfully to
the fundamental principles as enunciated by late Maqbool Butt. I struggle for
an independent Kashmir and disregard accusations like these.
Madam, your broad – mindedness,
liberalist and democratic principles are nevertheless also investing the
possibility of accession of Kashmir either to Pakistan or India. But I would
submit that this is an unacceptable solution because it goes against the
principle of the right of self determination enshrined in the UN Charter of
Human Rights.
Please also consider that I was
born in Srinagar Kashmir. But now I am holding a Dutch passport and I have been
refused a visa for Pakistan by the Pakistan embassy in Holland. On the basis of
my previous Indian nationality, I was asked to indicate Indian citizenship on
my application for visa. I was also told that Kashmiri was not a nation. Now in
the light of this, Madam Prime Minister, could you be kind enough to tell me
what is Pakistan`s policy towards Kashmir? On the one hand you claim that
Kashmir is a disputed territory and on the other, you declare by implication
that Srinagar is part of India. Your Secret intelligence Agency supplies
revolutionary factions with arms and ammunition with the tacit understanding to
support Kashmir`s accession to Pakistan. Scores of Kashmiri youth get killed
and our properties are destroyed by the Indian army. In fact the entire new
generation of kashmiris is being systematically destroyed by ISI directing pro
Pakistani element to work against pro- independent masses. One would therefore
ask whether this should be taken Pakistan`s concept of the right of self
determination in Kashmir? Obviously this is not a fair play with kashmiris.
Please also find enclosed to
this letter copies of letter I have sent to the Prime Minister of India and
also copy of the appeal I made to the Socialist Group of the European
Parliament on October 18 1993 at Brussels.
I hope that your government will
seriously consider the points I have raised in this letter. I believe that
these proposals should also be placed before the US Peace Institute which is
showing concern about Kashmir issue.
With
regards and thanks,
Sincerely Yours,
Hashim

It is stated that as per

(The reader
needs to be reminded that both of my children were born in Pakistan yet Pakistan
Government refused to issue Pakistani passport in their favour. Should the
people in Kashmir infer from this official letter that if Kashmir is not a
separable part of India then any citizen living in Kashmir is not a citizen of
India. But according to Pakistan official policy, a passport is denied to me
and my children despite the fact that I am a class I state subject of J&K
state. does it not mean that there is contradiction in Pakistan`s word and
action in the context of her Kashmir policy)

Dear Micheal,
Re: Mohammad

I write with reference to the above and in particular the Lunar
House letter of 9th May which frankly amazes me. By this logic I
presume Nelson Mandela would have an exclusion order applied against him. Can I
request that you personally review the department`s decision with special
regard to the length of time since the conviction, the documentary evidence of
change of political stance by Mr. Qureshi and the fact that the Dutch
authorities are satisfied enough with his record to grant citizenship ? An early reply would be
appreciated.

LETTER 7
From Dr. Ghulam Qadir Wani
To Hashim Qureshi
March 13, 1995
(Dr. Ghulam Qadir Wani is one of
the pioneers of armed struggle in Kashmir, I met him for the first time in
Washington towards the end of 1992 in the chamber of Mr.Ghulam Nabi Fai. I
argued with him against the taking up of the gun by our militants but he did
not agree with me just because at that point of time, he was under the
influence of Pakistani agencies. Prior to his visit to Washington he had issued
a press statement in Srinagar against me for preaching non- violence. The same
Dr. Ghulam Qadir Wani wrote to me in March 1995 saying that I was right in what
I had told him in 1992. His has since returned to Srinagar.)
P.O. Box 137,
G.P.O. Muzaffarabad
Dear Brother
Hashim Qureshi Sahib,
Hope you are fine along with
your family members. With the growth of experience, I find the increasing truth
and weight in your words. I have come to the conclusion that mere bookish
knowledge is not enough; real importance rests with the experiences gained in
the field of action. Here a weekly Jamaat-e-Islami paper called Zindagi of
Lahore published an interview with Amanullah Khan. The interviewers, Mr. Najmul
Hassan Arif is the same journalist who has written a lot against Yasin Malik
and Shabir Ahmed Shah describing them illiterates and immature. He also wrote
many things against Kashmir`s freedom. Now he has brought out an interview with
Amanullah Khan only to counter Azam Inquilabi. Amanullah Khan has gone down to
such depths of levity that he has called an old friend and a highly dedicated
activist of freedom movement and an able leader, Muhammad Azam Inquilabi as a
mental case,.
In the course of four years he
has changed a number of parties. If by joining JKLF an APHC, Amanullah Khan has
not become and accessionist, how come that Azam.
Inquilabi becomes an
accessionist by joining Tehreek-e- Hurriyat-e- Kashmir. You must have a look at
this interview in order to understand to what extent shamelessness and levity
one can fall. Today, I am reminded of each word you had spoken and each
assertion is vindicated by circumstances. You may send a copy of this letter to
Shakeel Sahib and to Shabir Sahib.
In the public meeting of March
11 at Muzaffarabad (held in connection with late khurshid) I made a strong
protest against and I exposed Amanullah Khan. Kindly let me know your reaction.
On the occasion of martyrdom day
of Maqbool Butt on February 11, I wrote an article. A copy was dispatched to
Kashmir Times of London. The Quaid published it here. But about London, I do
not know whether it was published. If you get into touch with Kashmir Times
people, kindly make an enquiry. Kindly arrange to send me the Kashmir Number of
Kashmir Times. My regards to everybody at your place.
In conclusion, I am sorry that I
always differed with you but after having gone through the experience I find
you were right.
Yours Sincerely,
Ghulam
Qadir Wani.
LETTER 8
From Hashim Qureshi
To the Editor Jang London,
August 25 1990.
Dear Editor,
A news under the caption the
plan of controlling freedom movement by Indian agents’ appeared in the London
based daily Jung of August 23. The news was also carried by Karachi and
Rawalpindi based daily Jung and in some more Pakistani papers. Under different
headlines. It said; that Mr., Qureshi a prominent Kashmiri national was made
the chief operator for conducting this plan and Dr. Farooq Abdullah was made
coordinator.” This was followed by lengthy self made stores, all fabricated and
imaginary.
Now I am a citizen of Kashmir
and a leader of Liberation Front. I have also been the founder of Liberation
Front organization in Pakistan. Azad Kashmir and Indian held Kashmir. For these
antecedents, Pakistani and Kashmiri political circles attribute the
aforementioned news to me. I am receiving innumerable telephone calls from
different parts of the world.
This news is a part of deep
seated conspiracy to malign my political and social character. A canard against
me is spread. The truth is that with the announcement of interim government,
Liberation Front split into two, one part was led by Amanullah Khan and the
second by Dr. Farooq Haider. Since I happened to be one of the basic members of
the Front, and with the support of the leadership of the liberation Front of
Indian held Kashmir, I tried my level best to bring about reconciliation
between the two groups. The leadership on Indian held Kashmir even went to the
length of issuing a warning to both the groups that if they did not come to a
compromise, then the liberation Front of IHK would announce its distancing from
both the groups. This warning was conveyed by Hamid Shiekh to both the groups
through me.
A suggestion emerged from IHK
that representatives of both the groups should travel to a third country where
they would be joined by the representatives of Liberation Front from IHK. This
would facilitate serious discussion on the subject. With this Amanullah Khan
dispatched Altaf Qureshi (young brother of Ashraf Qureshi) and Raja Muzaffar
khan to a third country. But Raja Muzafar Khan returned from the airport at the
eleventh hour owing to security reasons. In his place Dr. Farooq Haider sent
the chairman of student’s liberation front, Mr. Sajad Naz as his
representative. From Srinagar, some influential representatives and militants
participated in the meeting. The agenda was to re unite the Liberation Front
and to consider matters pertaining to the freedom movement so that it was put
on the road to success. Obviously this meeting was held on the behest of the
initiative from the leadership of both the groups of the liberation Front in
Azad Kashmir and the leadership of IHK.
It is nothing less than a canard
that I wanted to grab the leadership of the Front as is implied in the news
under reference. It is also a blatant lie to say that assembling of the
Liberation Front leadership and the arrests etc. had anything to do with my
suggestion. Srinagar based liberation front leadership is fully aware that I had
never made any suggestion of leaders assembling together. Contrary to it, for
over a year, I used to talk to the whole leadership of the liberation Front for
half an hour at any given time. The subjects discussed in these talks were
generally about the freedom movement and organizational matters.
As far as the question of two
sons of Abdul Ghani Lone. The president of conference is concerned that they
had become informers against the front and got all of them arrested including
themselves, it has to be noted that Abdul Ghani Lone is under house arrest for
the last two years. His two sons are senior leaders of JKLF in IHK. Accusing
them of being informers is a conspiracy against their patriotism and their
sacrifices. It is also a deep rooted conspiracy to bring about division in the
leadership of the liberation Front organization, the lone organization which
has made sacrifices in blood and sweat for total freedom and self determination
of Kashmir. Its leadership is the most popular leadership at the moment.
It should be remembered that
Liberation Front leadership including Hamid Shiekh and Yasin Malik, was
arrested in the house of the brother of the former D I G police Mr.Watali named
Zahoor Watali, who is a contractor. Amusingly the Liberation Front had begun
its present movement with an attack on Mr. Watali, the D.I.G in which Ejaz Dar
was martyred. Later on some militant group in Srinagar took the revenge on Mr.
Watali`s brother and murdered him. The assassins had stayed in the murdered
person’s house for two days. Moreover the entire JKLF leadership of Srinagar
including Yasin Malik and Hamid Shiekh knew it well that no suggestion of their
gathering together at one place had ever been given.
As far as the civil movement is
concerned, all political circle in Kashmir agree that freedom movement is
always fought under the control of a political platform. The entire population
is mobilized to provide security to freedom fighters in their struggle. Freedom
cannot be won by directing guns on security men in the cities and making the
innocent people targets of bullets while retreating into thickly populated
localities. Kashmiri people can provide security to the freedom fighters by
bringing out processions, and making demonstrations and resorting to civil
disobedience. In this way they can register full international support to their
movement.
With regards to the plan of Dr.
Farooq Abdullah and RAW, it is all nonsense. It is an old tradition in Pakistan
and Azad Kashmir to brand the political dissidents as agents of India. We have
the latest example of Prime Minister Ms. Benazir Bhutto; Newspaper Jung
reported in its issue of 23 August that the government controlled mass media
had begun a campaign against Benazir Bhutto accusing her to be an agent of
India. Our martyred leader, Maqbool Butt was also labeled as Indian agent.
Along with him the plebiscite front and National Liberation Front leadership
were also branded as Indian agents although Pakistan High Court and Supreme
Court both acquitted us all. The current accusations hurled on us are the
handiwork of selfish and spineless politicians of Azad Kashmir and Pakistan who
are doing business at the dead bodies of Kashmiri youth. They collect crores of
rupees in the name of Kashmir and thus fill their coffers. Not a single penny
goes to any relief fund in Srinagar elsewhere in IHK meant for the families and
orphans of the martyred Kashmiris. The anti- independence and anti Liberation
Front forces are integral to this conspiracy aimed at undoing the ideology to which
the Front is wedded, namely total freedom of Kashmir and her self
determination. This is because Liberation Front has become a the mass force in
Kshmir at this moment. These nefarious designs cannot destroy the Front.
