Kashmir Integral Part of India: Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind

Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind has reiterated its unflinching stand that Kashmir is an integral part of India.

In an official statement, Jamiat Ulama-i-hind stressed that it has always stood steadfastly for the unity and integrity of the country and has accorded it the paramount importance, noting that it can never support any separatist movement rather it considers such movements harmful not only for India but for the people of Kashmir as well.

“ However, we are not unmindful of the desire of Kashmiri People, their self-respect and the demand of preservation of their cultural identity, we feel it is our national duty to protect their democratic and human rights,” the statement read. “Nevertheless, it is our firm belief that the welfare of the people of Kashmir lies in getting integrated with India.”

“The inimical forces and the neighboring country are bent upon destroying Kashmir,” the statement added. “The oppressed and beleaguered People of Kashmir are stuck between opposing forces.”

In the light of the current situation, Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind has appealed to the Government of India that while respecting human rights, it must protect the life and property of Kashmiri people and use every possible constitutional means to bring back normalcy in the region and win the hearts of the people of Kashmir.
