Raheel-Nawaz Regime Seeks to Bury Kashmir as per the American Plan

News

A committee working under the leadership of Prime Minister's Adviser on Foreign Affairs has recommended that an amendment should be made to Article 1 of the Constitution to make Gilgit-Baltistan a constitutional part of the country, so that it can be made the fifth province of Pakistan. Besides, there would also be amendments to Article 51 and 59 of the Constitution to give representation to Gilgit-Baltistan in the National Assembly and Senate of Pakistan. The chief minister of Gilgit-Baltistan, Hafiz Hafeezur Rehman, who belongs to the ruling PML-N said: “We had been demanding provincial autonomy in the light of the 18th constitutional amendment. Following our demand, the status of GB is being upgraded.”

Comment

At the time of Partition of British India in 1947, Gilgit-Baltistan was part of Kashmir, ruled by the Hindu, Dogra Raj. After partition, the Muslims of Gilgit-Baltistan defiantly rebelled against Dogra Raj, took control of the region and joined Pakistan. As the matter of Kashmir went to the United Nations in 1948 for resolution, so did the matter of Gilgit-Baltistan. As this region was part of Kashmir, so Pakistan gave it a special status, so that India could not use the assimilation of Giligit-Baltistan as a basis to claim permanent right over the occupied Kashmir valley.

As Kashmir is the main boon of contention between Pakistan and India, America wants to bury this dispute so that India can play the role of her policeman in the region, without any challenge from Pakistan. America seeks Indian supremacy over Pakistan so as to be able to counter the growing Chinese influence and any Muslim movement to revive the Ummah, by establishing the Khilafah "Caliphate" (Caliphate) on the Prophethood in this region.

Thus, America does not want to settle Kashmir issue according to the wishes of the Muslims, as it will strengthen Pakistan and consequently will weaken India. So at the time of the Musharraf-Aziz regime, traitors in the political and military leadership presented a solution based on “Andorra model.” Andorra is a small principality situated on the border of Spain and France in the Pyrenees Mountains. It had been claimed by both countries since 803 CE and it was only in 1993 that both Spain and France reached an agreement. They gave Andorra an independent constitution and near-autonomy status.

France and Spain both share responsibility for the defense of Andorra, which also has no currency of its own and uses that of its neighbors. So Musharraf proposed a gradual withdrawal of troops, self-governance, no changes to the region's borders and a joint supervision mechanism. The Andorra model is to allow the Hindu state a share in the control over all of Kashmir, including its liberated regions, a control that it neither deserves nor could achieve for itself.

The Raheel-Nawaz regime has attempted to uplift the so called status of Gilgit-Baltistan, but in reality it is a step towards the “Andorra Model”. The aware people who know the history of the Kashmir issue, immediately condemned this plan, knowing that it will encourage India to do the same with occupied Kashmir and so the Line of Control will become a permanent or a soft border. It is political naivety to say that Gilgit-Baltistan has been left behind in progress, because it has been in limbo and were it a constitutional part of Pakistan it would have progressed. If this argument is true then why is Baluchistan, the largest province of Pakistan blessed with huge mineral, oil and gas resources, so far behind then other parts of the country? The real solution is for Islam to be implemented completely in Pakistan so that it can be the launching point for the unification of all Muslim Lands, of Kashmir and beyond.

The Raheel-Nawaz regime is determined to proceed with the so-called resolution of Kashmir according to the American plan, whilst forcefully suppressing the voices for Islam, Jihad and Khilafah "Caliphate" by using the “National Action Plan.” It is the duty of every aware Muslim to expose and resist the evil designs of the Raheel-Nawaz regime, which will weaken the Muslims of Kashmir, Pakistan and the whole region to ensure the rise of India, the deeply hostile enemy of the Muslims. And a great responsibility falls upon the sincere officers of the armed forces of Pakistan for they must not succumb to the traitors' false and evil arguments and end their treachery. And this can only be done in an effective manner by seizing the traitors by their throats, and granting Nussrah to Hizb ut Tahrir for the establishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate" (Caliphate) on the Method of the Prophethood. Then a rightly guided Khaleefah will mobilize an armed forces, supported by thousands of sincere mujahideen, to liberate all of Kashmir from the Hindu state.

((وَلاَ تَهِنُواْ فِى ٱبْتِغَآءِ ٱلْقَوْمِ إِن تَكُونُواْ تَأْلَمُونَ فَإِنَّهُمْ يَأْلَمُونَ كَمَا تَأْلَمُونَ وَتَرْجُونَ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ مَا لاَ يَرْجُونَ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَلِيماً حَكِيماً))

“And be not weak hearted in pursuit of the enemy; if you suffer pain, then surely they (too) suffer pain as you suffer pain, and you hope from Allah what they do not hope; and Allah is Knowing, Wise.” [Al-Nisa:104]
