Kashmir: India is not serious in peace process by Zaheerul Hassan

Pakistan’s Foreign minister has invited leading members of the Executive Council of APHC, senior veteran pro-movement leader Syed Ali Gilani and Yasin Malik visit Pakistan from 15 to 22 December 2012. Probably, purpose behind the invitation was to take initiative and paving path for resolution of an old and burning issue of “Kashmir” through consultative process between the political leadership of Pakistan and India. As usual India has shown her non-serious attitude in settling down of the matter while refusing the visa to the leaders of All Parties Hurriyet Conference Azad Jammu and Kashmir (APHC). It is mentionable here that the APHC has the history of fighting   for the rights of Kashmir peacefully.
‘Kashmir Movement” basically started on the day when British have sold Kashmiries’ territory to Sikh ruler under a contract deed. However the moment which was started in 1931 against Dogra rule is still going on since Kashmiri still deprived of basic human rights.
Indeed, the issue of Jammu and Kashmir is the oldest unresolved issue on the agenda of the United Nations Organization. From January 1948 to May 1964, United Nations Organization passed sixteen resolutions and carried out many debates/discussions concerning Jammu and Kashmir. In this connection UN Security Council Resolutions number 91, 96 of 1951 and UN Security Council Resolution Number 98 of 1952 have very clearly stated plebiscite is the only answer to solve Kashmir Issue. In all of its resolutions, including resolutions of United Nations Commission for India and Pakistan (UNCIP), UN asked India for a fair and impartial plebiscite to decide the future status of Jammu and Kashmir as per the wishes of its subjects.
Late Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru though initially agreed in 1948 and during Sino- India war of 1962 but declined to implement the UN resolutions and   abiding by the promise of settling down the Kashmir issue with Pakistan after the war. Both the countries have fought four wars and many bilateral talks including Confidential Building Measures (CBMs) have been  held on the issue but India always tried to put the matter at a sideline or tried to delay, contrary to it Pakistan have made serious  efforts to crystallize  the issue with a view to resolve  the conflict  under UN resolutions. In this connection, at times Islamabad preferred to discuss others issues of CBMs, but   New Delhi never ever shown encouraging reaction in relation to Kashmir problem.
