‘Pakistan surviving without its jugular vein’
Quaid-i-Azam said Kashmir is the jugular vein of Pakistan, former Sindh governor Lt Gen Moinuddin Haider said, "the jugular vein is in hands of India, and we are still surviving after 76 years."
Speaking at the launch of Col (retd) Iftikhar Ahmed's book "Kashmir Taqsim Ka Namkamal Ajenda Hai" organized by Arts Council of Pakistan, Karachi, he said Pakistan wasted many opportunities for the freedom of Kashmir.
It launched an attack in 1965 but unfortunately, it was not successful. He said that he hopes that the Kashmir issue will be resolved. Former Federal Law Minister Barrister Shahida Jameel said that India is supporting terrorism not only in Kashmir but also in Pakistan.
She said that the title of this book attracts every Pakistani that Kashmir is an incomplete agenda of partition.
All Parties Hurriyat Conference Secretary General Sheikh Mateen Ahmed said that looking at what is happening with Muslims in India today, it can be concluded that Quaid-i-Azam's two-nation theory was correct.
He said that the ultimate goal of Kashmiris is freedom, and there is no solution to this problem without it.
