NPP criticise OIC on Kashmir statement

Srinagar, Oct 1 : Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party (NPP) has criticized the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) for its recent statement on the Kashmir issue.

Describing it as an interference into the internal matter of India, the NPP chairman Prof Bhim Singh said Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India.

Where was the OIC when Palestinians, Iraqis and other Muslims were subjected to genocide, torture, serfdom and treachery by Anglo-Americans and Zionist State of Israel for decades.

Mr Singh, a friend of late President Saddam Hussein and late Palestinian President, Yasir Arafat asked OIC leaders to explain their conduct and attitude towards the people of Iraq and Palestine during the period of their distress and invasions.

He asked OIC as to where were they when USA invaded Karbala and the people of Iraq, allowing millions of Iraqis to die during the so-called UN sanctions in utter violation of Human Rights and UN Charter.

He asked Saudi Arabia and other partners of OIC as to where were they when Jerusalem was occupied by Zionist Israel and when Yasir Arafat was detained in Ram Allah for years.

Prof Singh reminded OIC that they have been playing in the hands of Anglo-American Bloc to defend their crowns and kingdoms at the cost 21 Arab countries.

In a message to the OIC Prof Singh said that Jammu and Kashmir is not an Islamic issue nor it is subject matter for the OIC to interfere.

Jammu and Kashmir, he said, is as good part of India as Jerusalem is part of Palestine or Riyadh is part of Saudi Arabia.

It is an integral part of India since thousands of years.

India has more than 200 millions of its citizens who belong to Islamic fraternity out of 10 millions from this state, he said adding that neither OIC nor Saudi Arabia has any locus to depute any person as its envoy to J&K.

Prof Singh has appealed to all the secular and nationalist groups, NGOs and political parties to condemn OIC and Saudi Arabia for their attempt of sabotaging with the secular ethos of India by using the name of Kashmir at the behest of Anglo-American Bloc.
