Addressing the Defence of Islam conference
in Mirpur District of Pakistan occupied Kashmir
(PoK) on April 17, Jama’at-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief
Hafiz Mohammad Saeed said that there would
be no peace in South Asia without resolution
of the longstanding Kashmir dispute, reports
Dawn. He warned, “We will go to the
last extent to help the Kashmiris and ultimately
India will have to pull out its 800,000 troops
from the occupied territory. When the United
States (US) along with almost 40 other nations
cannot perpetuate its presence in Afghanistan,
how can India continue with its occupation
of Kashmir?”
Meanwhile, through a joint declaration issued
at the conclusion of the Kashmir Committee
meeting in Lahore on April 17, Pakistan reiterated
the commitment to continue support to Kashmiris
just cause for the right to ‘self-determination’,
