MUZAFFARABAD (Kashmir English): The Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) All Parties Conference (APC) on Tuesday strongly condemned India’s alleged conspiracy to destabilize AJK, citing the recent cipher as proof.
The All Parties Conference (APC) was held at the Jammu and Kashmir House in Islamabad, chaired by Prime Minister Chaudhry Anwarul Haq.
The conference saw full participation from the leadership of all political parties, who issued a declaration by consensus. Former AJK Prime Minister Raja Farooq Haider read out the declaration.
The declaration assured the people of occupied Kashmir of full cooperation in the freedom struggle and expressed solidarity with the Kashmir freedom movement.
The political parties agreed to continue their joint struggle to resolve public issues and thwart any attempts to worsen the situation, the APC declaration stated. “India is trying to destabilize Azad Kashmir on the Balochistan model.”
“India is in a state of panic due to the Pakistan Army’s success in Banyan Al-Marsoos and Marka-e-Haq. This success has boosted the morale of the Kashmir freedom movement,” the APC declaration said.
The political parties vowed to continue their joint struggle to resolve public issues. “No forum or pressure group formed under Indian auspices will be given the authority to make public decisions,” the APC declaration read.
“We assure the people of occupied Kashmir of full cooperation in the freedom struggle,” it added.
The parties further decided that a public relations campaign will be launched from September 21, with the first meeting to be held in Rawalakot and the second in Bagh on September 22.
