A hospital train is delivering doctors and home to his most in need one i want to east towards india as a lifeline expire on aljazeera. For you to. See. This deceiving thena rehydrate one of the worlds most dangerous flashpoint. A brewing an ongoing conflict between 2 rival. The ridge on the right is in india and the one on the left it in pakistan. The 2 neighbors have fought 3 wars over kashmir and the latest crisis has once again highlighted 72 years of failure in finding a solution of. All british road after the 2 countries gained independence from british rule in 1947 the most in majority kish we decided to extend to india that did not sit with the local population in pakistan and the 2 countries in their militias had their 1st war over schmear in 1988 a Un Resolution and later mutual agreements formed a cease fire line of whats now called the line of control. On the 5th of august Prime Minister there in there more the government made a dramatic decision. In the part of me to do overseas. To stem anticipated protests down the region with additional troops in force months and severed all its outside links informed than the internet. That caused a predictable uproar in neighboring pakistan needs to schmear. Strongly disagrees with new delhi the insistence that the constitutional changes on an internal matter. In response decided to create but then via diplomatic ties and suspend bus and Train Services but it has also revealed an internal split inside pakistans political system as to how to respond. The United Nations has urged. From changing the status of kashmir and pakistan plans to take the issue to the Un Security Council with the help of its ally china which also has a claim on a different part of the disputed kashmir himalayan region. The tough talk has direct impact on millions of people on both sides of the socalled line of control the unofficial border which separates the 2 sides. The question now will pakistan be able to neutralize the indian move in diplomacy defuse tensions with powers such as china get involved and if so what could this mean for kashmir. Today 3 important people on the pakistani side the countrys foreign minister the president of pakistan administered kashmir and a vocal Opposition Leader give their views on talked about that there are. The fun of former Prime MinisterBenazir Bhutto and former president Asif Ali Zardari is the chairman of Pakistan Peoples Party he is critical of both the indian and his own government i wish that i while condemning the human rights abuses in. The attack on press freedoms in occupied kashmir i wish i was speaking from a moral ground moral high ground and i would be speaking from one of the high ground of my own government was not restricting some human rights and media freedoms in pakistan but having said that we cant equate our concerns about curtailment of democracy in pakistan with the military occupation by an extremist government by the man seen as the butcher of could drop. Over the the people of kashmir i mean no matter our own flaws no matter our own weaknesses we have to we have to talk for those who cannot talk for themselves and at the moment there is a total media back out in occupied kashmir the whole Political Leadership in occupied kashmir whether those who used to boycott the electoral process and advocated for a Freedom Movement or those who took part in elections who served as chief ministers even under the b. G. Own government all have been rounded up and put under arrest so it is that who is left. To talk to the people of kashmir if the people of us at this meeting not talk out if the people of pakistan and i dont see eye to comprehend that i dont wish my government was i was fighting more passionate case a more convincing case more powerful case but that case is strong according to sadar masood han the president of pakistan administered kashmir do you think pakistan has a case pakistan has a case and the people of Jammu And Kashmir have a case in fact india has committed aggression in the recent weeks against the people of Jammu And Kashmir they have invaded the territory. Inducted additional 180000. 00 troops to brutalize kashmiris so do we have a case of course we have a case and Everybody Knows that the indian or quite bushmeat has been under occupation for the past 72 years and india has made this fresh move colonised the territory of kashmir do we have a case yes we do because the issue of german bushmeat is on the agenda of the United NationsSecurity Council and we have a case because there are several resolutions which have mandated that the future of the Jammu And Kashmir dispute should be decided in accordance with the aspirations of the people of Jammu And Kashmir to a referendum to be supervised by the United Nations do we have a case yes we have just as india has a strong strategic ally in the United States pakistan needs allies to highlight their case as well in foreign minister recently visited beijing and returned home with support from the Chinese Government as a 1st step toward it was this ready to consult with. Someone who stood with consistently and is one of the p 5 members that china. With the delegation to meet with the chinese leadership and i have come back. Satisfaction that it the complete and the stand and indorse point if you considered the indian action as unilateral. Unlawful. And they feel that the matter should be result under the un charter and according to the a pickable Security Council resolutions they have endorsed a point if you concerned about the peace and security of division. During the muslim festival of the in a rare show of bipartisan solidarity rushing in billable prayed that kashmiris in pakistan side of the border. But internal divisions remain in the political opposition is critical of how the government handled indias constitutional changes. Do you agree that pakistan should be doing more and do you think that a divided opposition in the ruling party sends the right message i dont think that the division between the ruling party and the opposition sense right a message or 2 or that theres a sense this this that the action taken is too little too late for example we see that the government of pakistan is following not leading but its not a time for us to be nitpicking we in the opposition have extended a movement in you to extend our support to the people of kashmir and do whatever we can in our limited capacity but theres also concern on the pakistani side as well ive spent the day at the line of control dog ordinary kashmiris who feel that pakistan perhaps has not done enough and that is something that was shared on the Parliament Floor by the opposition as well where the Prime Minister said that you know if they like them cannot go to war how what would you tell them that will soften satisfy them that by going on is doing all it can over the kashmir issue again with why am i here. To give a message of solidarity i represent the government of pakistan and i am here with the permission of the prime is to pakistan i discussed it with him last night and he said by all means you must go and show solidarity he himself is coming what else can pakistan do if you share the feeling of kashmir that they feel let down what else do you think that the government can do i do share the feeling that they feel it and i would dont necessarily want to 12 on the criticism but as i said earlier. I think that the people of kashmir are looking to leadership and they are looking for the Prime Minister of pakistan to speak to the motions. And to speak to the crisis and take concrete actions not react not 5 days later decide to take any reciprocal action with india which is unfortunately what we saw in this situation but would have preferred immediate action would absolutely have preferred for more of a consensus from a bipartisan approach i mean the Prime Minister chose to. Arrest the former Prime Minister mr new washer reese daughter right in the middle of this crisis these are very divisive tactics of the Prime Minister of pakistan who are not i dont choose to dwell on those at the moment but i believe its important is for us to all speak out for those who can put those who can speak out for themselves because they cant come before your cameras because theyre not been allowed because they dont know how they relatives are doing whether those relatives are living abroad where israel relatives are living in other states of india they dont know how their blood relatives are doing in kashmir so thats a human that humanitarian crisis thats a genuine concern as the president of pakistan administered kashmir do you think by a fan has done enough with the people of pakistan and the government of pakistan the parliament to focus on for the steps that they have already taken and the solidarity that they have expressed with the occupied territories particularly its people so we want to thank them they have started a process of initiatives lets watch how india response or chooses not to respond and then the response of the state of pakistan would develop so i dont think that these are the final word and yes it is natural that the people in the street should expect more but as you must of heard from other government officials that pakistan firmly believes that there should be a diplomatic and political solution we do not go down the path to war mongering we do not want to stoke. War hysteria as india has done so pakistan is showing restraint and responsibility but at the same time it is proactive it is reaching out to the United NationsSecurity Council other International Forums and there would be additional measures which would do strict or punish what india has done the people of pakistan stand shoulder to shoulder with the people of kashmir as far as to. State politics is concerned at the various Political Parties obviously have their differences but when it comes to the issue of kashmir we all stand united and whether its the Prime Minister the Opposition Leader or myself in my speech in the National Assembly we time and time again emphasized the fact that we are willing to stand together and stand united for the people of kashmir india says that it is proof that pakistan was harboring terrorists and groups which are a threat to the indian state how do you respond to that when india says that it is in response to what pakistans. This is indias hobby horse this is. False wooden fabrication that they have been selling to the rest of the world yes there was a time when. The we called them Freedom Fighters they used to go across the line of control because we were being killed this was in the early 1990 s. But since then. I mean after particularly after 20032004 that practice came to an end and india has practically sealed the border with the means. Obviously afraid of north these 250 militants as the call them militants but millions of kashmiris who come to the square and streets and chant the slogan very loudly go india go back leave. They have fraid of this peaceful powerful Political Movement which rejects indias strict and occupation so what im saying here that this suits them to sell this negative to the entire world which is what it about the threat of terrorism which was faced with pakistan also pakistan has faced that madness and it has. Grappled with this madness and is succeeding in opposing terrorism and dismantling terrorist networks be a fairing that to die work. World attention from the across the deals that are being committed. In Indian Occupied kashmir the indians might undertake if forth Like Operation and then. Sort of push their wentz and distort it went into the heart you know this was a cross border terrorism you know the pull woma. To that stage trauma that they did in february they would try and create some kind of a situation to die worth. Attention and that is why we think that on that predicts they might do something stupid what they have done already that was stupid move it over the rational in our view and. People tell the world that its a responsibility the divisions that we see in pakistan do you think that could be one of the reasons why there hasnt been. A rallying cry so to speak for kashmir as pakistan wanted even your allies such as the United Arab Emirates has said that it is their Ambassador Says that it is an internal matter for india im grateful that the oh i see Contract Group is issued a statement i am i see that the Prime Minister is reaching out to World Leaders i dont expect every world leader to take a stance but is important to to to reach out and to advocate for what is for what is going on why do you think that pakistans version of events is not being heard dont go by indias explanations or interpretations because you would recall that when President Trump had offered mediation india had said that its a bilateral matter they didnt say that it was an internal matter that the german who dispute was and was a bilateral matter and here i ask when they took these unilateral measures did they ask pakistan the other party to the dispute or the people of Jammu And Kashmir let me tell you that the International Response is evolving it is developing. China was quite forthcoming so was turkey i was in norway i find support within Civil SocietySwedish Foreign minister has expressed her concern European Parliament the British Parliament some of the major british Political Parties they have sent communications to the United Nations secretary general and the president of the Security Council its great International Response to this according to Many International observers has been muted at best the United Nations secretarygeneral. Both sides refrained from stimulus status of kashmir the American Ambassador went out and said that it is an internal matter for the Indian Government so is the pakistani government running out of options diplomatically to try and come to some sort of a city not at all i think the options are just beginning in fact india by being obstinate and not accepting pakistans offer of a bilateral engagement to resolve this issue through peaceful because he sions. Miscalculated its an evolving situation pakistan is watching the situation carefully and so is the world the statement of the sector general of the u. N. Is a very balanced and a very correct statement he has said that this issue for be resolved under the u. N. Charter and applicable Security Council resolutions i think thats a very encouraging statement the support offered to pakistan by china that they are with us all the way. Is very encouraging and by mr man one is reaching out to World Leaders im contacting different Foreign Ministers with ample i spoke to the quickly for mr this morning he was based supportive very encouraging so it is building up and many countries. European countries when i spoke to the high representative of the european union. Fredricka more greedy she was going. On the. Humanitarian issue you know the the Human Rights Violations it doesnt matter how many countries stand with us it doesnt matter who believes us what matters is what is right and what is right is that the 70 is the people of kashmir been promised that they will be able to decide their own destiny is for 70 years weve been told that the people of kashmir will have a referendum and they will choose we are and we are saying that allow for the people to exercise their democratic rights so if the world believes in democracy if the world believes in the freedom of choice then the world should support the people of kashmir the people of kashmir on the right side of history. What gives you hope that it is not going to be the status quo this time around when you go to the Un Security Council and your allies that something is going to change pakistan has no choice and the people of Jammu And Kashmir have no choice india has altered the status quo already because it has invaded and it is trying to annex the territory and it is brutalizing the fish we did was already committing crimes against humanity and Human Rights Violations india is now taking them to a different level this is an existential threat i like to say for both the people the people of pakistan and bushmeat we have no choice but to go back to the United NationsSecurity Council and yes there is a real polity but we want to do diplomatic diligence to alter that because nothing is a given. Despite indias clout in the International Community there is a communication blackout. Journalism not being allowed in. The news is not filtering out the absolute confusion uncertainty one is hearing from 40 years on a tearing of. Nonavailability of medicines my biggest fear is. The. The genocide. That can take place on the inside of coverage we have no evidence of. Open up open up us here did anybody stop you we went to the l. S. E. You made people you into and people will be allow you there because why dont you attempt and try after having been here go and make a request to the indian side and let them allow you to go to show you never got to meet the leadership over there will be allow you i doubt so you nothing to fear we have nothing to hide it seems that pakistan is running out of options on this i dont think that we are running out of options i dont think that that you can change the fate of a nation by changing whats written on paper the People Living within kashmir they are more insecure today as they were before they dont know whats going to happen in the future not only to the citizens of kashmir in fact this it is the muslim citizens all across india the minorities all across india are suddenly more insecure its not only kashmir that had special status that protected their land from being bought out from by about People Living in other states other Indian States believe that as well so this undemocratic attack on the people of kashmir will have severe consequences it will have severe consequences on india and india this choosing to move away from it 70 years secular democracy to pose a fascist extremist and that but government to be in india you have a regime which has the passion splinter tittie you know that nazi approach that they have is that all of us has been teletypes you know this is a political wing of the art itself. And that is of great concern to about a son innocent people. Being attacked killed raped mean and to the pellet guns you know using i cite. We say that this is a disputed territory so who has an x. That we havent is there a fear that this could lead to an escalation where it would go to a point of no return to Nuclear States we think of war is not a solution its through suicide vest would be interruption our response even in favor he was defensive in nature we were not aggressive so we are going to conduct our case diplomatically. Politically and we will look at the Legal Options we would see besides a Security Council what option to be is that your concern that these 2 Nuclear Armed neighbors could go to war because you would be essentially on the front lines if that happens the anything can happen there can be miscalculations but before miscalculations india has taken escalatory steps in february this year indian Prime Minister had threatened pakistan with the use of Nuclear Weapons and at that time we had said that if he doesnt know what hes talking about by if he takes that step then that would mean a nuclear armageddon. And a Nuclear Winter north. But for the entire world and there would be outflows of refugees and there would be a global recession and so on there are many consequences that would be there for the entire International Community im a great believer in Democratic Peace theory i dont believe that democracies go to war but i also know the neither india nor pakistan are a functioning as practicing democracy at the moment its an extreme situation it would leave lead to works. Extreme reactions i hope that would not happen because pakistan as i said earlier believes and the people of Jammu And Kashmir firmly believe that you cannot have a military solution to the gym with a sure dispute you will have to explore political and diplomatic avenues president of pakistan administered kashmir thank you very much for talking to other there thank you its been a pleasure to talk.
