Kashmir Solidarity Day - 5th February
I was thinking about write something on this occasion when I saw a comment on a blog “Kashmir Solidarity Day - 5th February”, which says that govt. elementary college for girls Kohat is open on Kashmir Solidarity Day, Because the principal consider it useless to celebrate this day. There are two problems in this news the first is that the govt. college is open on holiday, why? Second is that people thinks it useless to celebrate this day.
Today Altaf Hussain said “How long we will celebrate this day with out any result” he was right because people are now thinking about this that it is useless. it was 1974 when for the first time Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto ask to celebrate this day on 5th of February.
Then in 1990 Qazi Hussain Ahmed appeals to celebrate it. Since 1991, Pakistanis from around the world, observe the 5th of February as a day to express solidarity with the people of Kashmir. India backed out on 5th Feb. 1964 from the proposal of that referendum therefore everyone choose this day as Kashmir Solidarity Day. The people of Pakistan rightly feel that Kashmir is the unfinished business of the partition of the subcontinent.
We celebrates dozens of different days why not celebrate this day. Not only just for the sake of celebrating one day but to show the world that we are with our Muslim brothers and also that we support the cause of UN and freedom fighters. We should also support other countries fight for freedom as we supports Palestine and celebrates youm al-quds.
Pundit Jawaharlal Nehru and Kashmir issue
Pundit Jawaharlal Nehru, whose government took the Kashmir issue to the United Nations, told the Indian Constituent Assembly on November 25, 1947: ‘In order to establish our bonafides, we have suggested that, when the people (of Kashmir) are given the chance to decide their future, this should be done under the supervision of an impartial tribunal such as the United Nations.
‘On June 26, 1952, Nehru told Indian parliament, ‘If … the people of Kashmir do not wish to remain with us, let them go by all means; we will not keep them against their will, however painful it may [be] for us.’
