LONDON (PNI) Lauding Pakistan for its grand hosting of the 48th session of OIC Foreign Ministers in Islamabad, Kashmiri activist in the UK on Tuesday urged the top Muslim bloc to “walk the talk on Kashmir.”
In a statement from London, Fahim Kayani, president of Tehreek-e-Kashmir (TeK) UK, said Pakistan hosting the summit is a vote of confidence in the leadership and people of the country from the Muslim world.
“It is not a hidden truth that all anti-Pakistan powers came together to hurt interests of Pakistan but the OIC summit happening in Pakistan brings back to fore the important position of Islamabad in the international affairs,” the TeK UK leader said.
“It is an honor for Pakistan to host officials of all Muslim countries when the country will be celebrating its 75th resolution Day on March 23,” said Kayani.
Pointing to statements made by Pakistan leadership at the OIC Foreign Minister’s summit, the TeK UK leader said: “the speech made by Prime Minister Imran Khan has shown mirror to the Muslim bloc as how diverging interests of member states of the OIC has led to unfulfillment of objectives of the Muslim world.”
“The role of OIC is very important and significant if it acts,” said the statement. “It is world’s second largest multi-national body comprising of 57 nations which means it can have huge impact if it walks the talk.”
“The division among the OIC members has led occupying nations like India and Israel exploit this situation and cement their colonization of Kashmir and Palestine,” Kayani added.
He said Prime Minister Imran Khan was “right when he said OIC has failed Kashmiris.”
“Time is running fast and the inability of the OIC to act according to international law, UN and its own resolutions only raise questions about the feasibility of the organization,” Kayani said.
Urging “strategy and actionable motion” on Kashmir by the OIC, Kayani said India earns more than around $34 billion from gulf countries every year in remittances only.”
“This means gulf countries, which are all Muslim nations, have huge influence on Indians but little do these gulf nations know that the money earned in their lands is misused against Muslims and Kashmiris by India,” the TeK UK leader added.
“This money lands in the coffers of fascist RSS and its lynchpin BJP which has wreaked havoc against Kashmiris and Muslims,” he said.
The TeK UK leader said the OIC must take notice of such money flow and “it could be well used to hold accountable for its war crimes and crimes against humanity inflicted on Indian Muslims and Kashmiris.”
On ending occupation of Kashmir by India, Kayani suggested that the OIC is in “good position to move a motion against India at the UN and hold it accountable for genocide and war crimes.”
“There is need to move beyond statements and condemnations; our youth who are being subjugated by the Indian fascist military in Indian Illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIoJK) look towards the OIC leadership for ending this illegal and inhuman occupation,” said Kayani, urging the OIC to take a serious notice of aspirations of people of IIoJK.
The struggle for right to self-determination in IIoJK has strong basis, said the TeK UK leader, “it is mere action that is required from the OIC to free people from fascist Indian occupation.
