ISLAMABAD:

Adviser to Prime Minister on Political Affairs Dr Asif Kirmani on Thursday said Pakistan will continue its moral and diplomatic support of the Kashmiri people.

He said the Kashmir issue should be resolved according to the United Nations resolutions and strongly condemned the Indian firing on working boundary and Line of Control. He said the Indian aggression was a threat to regional peace and Pakistan would not budge from its principled stance on Kashmir.

Dr Kirmani said the people of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) would elect their representatives on the basis of performance in forthcoming Legislative Assembly elections. The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), he said, would win the AJK elections with a big majority on the basis of its performance.

He said Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif was determined to make AJK a developed state, because its people had affection and love for him. The Kashmiris would practically show their love by giving votes to the PML-N in the forthcoming elections, he added. He directed the PML-N workers to speed up their mass contact campaign for coming elections.

Tepper | 9 years ago | Reply The more Pakistan supports Kashmir, more is the chance of Pakistan society collapsing. Where will the money come from to keep supporting Kashmir? US Aid? IMF? In the current scenario, Saudis won't want another independent Shia nation either. If Pak govt. can't provide jobs then the elite will leave the country, leaving a state with a high rate of unemployment, which would only lead it into becoming a land of goons and mafia, not to mention of the home bred terrorists. It is no bravery to lead into an attack on the enemy with a broken tank.

Vectra | 9 years ago | Reply Musharraf agreed in 2000 to low-key UN resolutions on Kashmir: US cable http://www.dawn.com/news/1204829/musharraf-agreed-in-2000-to-low-key-un-resolutions-on-kashmir-us-cable US never backed plebiscite on kashmir. http://idrw.org/declassified-us-documents-indicate-it-never-backed-kashmir-plebiscite/ Read above leaked cables which says pakistan may support how much it want but the above leaked cable says pakistan cant do anything against India.Kashmir is a lost issue. Pakistan should now forget kashmir cause and one solution i can give.I know pakistan is fighting kashmir because of water only though that concern is unwarranted but still if that was the case it can give one solution. 1) Hand over POK to India and in return 2) Sign a new treaty of exact water sharing agreement with India.This will solve all problems and conflict. India will get back its territory and Pakistan will get its water right.Trade will flourish,people life will change and overall Win win for both.

Vineet | 9 years ago | Reply What a Joke.. a failure state is promising a fresh state to make them developed state. I think Dr Asif Kirmani has never board in a flight otherwise he would have got the lesson that before to help others help yourself first.

Prakash | 9 years ago | Reply Why wouldn't you extend the same moral and diplomatic support to the Uighurs in China? Or does your mouth water only at the mention of Kashmir?

The Book Says | 9 years ago | Reply Pakistan is also supporting, the Rohingyas, Biharis, Uighurs, Pattanis, Palestinians, Kurds, Chechans, great nation, did I miss any other conflict here?
