Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif should end Pakistan’s “export of terrorism, religious intolerance and hatred” to Jammu & Kashmir and grant fundamental rights to the people in PoK, a memorandum submitted to Pakistan High Commission here has said. In the memorandum addressed to Sharif, protesters demonstrating outside the Pakistan High Commission here, among whom were people from Jammu & Kashmir and PoK, said “if you are a true well-wisher people of the former Princely State of Jammu and Kashmir, then please stop export of extremism, terrorism, religious intolerance and hatred to areas of Jammu and Kashmir and grant fundamental rights” to the people of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
The memorandum also requested Sharif to “revisit teachings of Islam with regard to fairness”. “If still you feel we are not equal to you, citizens of Pakistan, then at least, consider us human beings and let us live with honour and dignity. Unite both areas of Jammu and Kashmir state; and let us be masters of our land and resources,” the memorandum stated.
