KNP
demand immediate release of guest Kashmiri leader from Jammu.
London
12 January 2013
Pakistan’s secret
agency, ISI known for its gross human rights violations has arrested Darvindar Sing Behal while he was entering
Pakistan from Mirpur on the Mangla Bridge. Darvindar Sing Behal entered
Pakistan on a valid visit visa, but who cares about valid visa in POK and in
land of pure. Another Kashmiri leader Arif Shahid was also taken by the ISI.
Vijay
Abrol and Darvinder Singh Behal are peace loving people from Jammu and
wanted to promote good will and better understanding among the forcibly divided
people. They entered Pakistan on a valid visit visa and attended various
functions arranged by the local people in their honour.
The
message Darvinder Singh Behal and his colleague gave was very encouraging and
advanced the cause of peace and unity. Darvinder Singh Behal said, ‘We people of
Jammu and Kashmir are one nation; and we want to be united and live as a nation.’
He said, ‘Attempts are being made to divide us in name of religion. We are one
and must remain one.’
‘Hurriyet
Conference does not represent people of Jammu and Kashmir, at best they
represent people of the Valley of Kashmir,’ he added.
Ifzal
Suleria, Zonal President of Kashmir National Party, while talking to Dr Shabir
Choudhry said: ‘Darvinder Singh Behal’s message was very well received by all
peace loving people here; but those who promoted communalism and hatred did not
like this message. ISI did not like their presence and their message and wanted
to punish them and deter others to visit POK’.
Ifzal Suleria
further said, during Darvinder Singh Behal’s stay in Muzaffarabad he had a number of phone calls from secret
agencies and their tone was intimidating. KNP with help of other parties held a
peaceful protest in Muzaffarabad and demanded immediate release of Darvinder
Singh Behal and Arif Shahid.
Darvinder
Singh Behal was our guest and what ISI has done is against Islamic laws and the
UN Resolutions which grant us a right of travel. It is also against
international law; and even against Pakistan’s own laws; but does the ISI care
for any laws?
All
freedom loving people, human rights activists and human rights organisation
must act now to save lives of these people.
KNP
leaders, Abbas Butt, Zubair Ansari, Sarwar Hussain, Basharat Khan, Asim Mirza,
Nawaz Majid, Yasin Anjum, Ishtiaq Hussain, Abdul Ghaffar Shapal, Sabir Hussain
and others strongly condemn this act and demand immediate release of Darvinder
Singh Behal and Arif Shahid.
