Kashmiri leader asks Pakistan to internationalise Kashmir issue

IRNA

Islamabad, Sept 9 -- Chief of Jamaat-i-Islami Azad Jammu & Kashmir 
(Pakistan-controlled Kashmir) Sardar Ejaz Afzal Khan urged Pakistan 
Tuesday not to adhere to the dialogue offer by India and fulfil its 
mission in raising the Kashmir issue on the international forum. 
"New Delhi wants to declare Kashmir as a bilateral issue between 
both the countries. Vajpayee`s dialogue offer on April 18 was a step 
towards this direction," Ejaz said while addressing a press conference
after arriving from his three weeks visit of Spain, Chili, Angola, 
Germany, Norway and Britain. 
"India is not interested in serious dialogue on Kashmir issue. 
That is why she is not in favour of internationalising this issue." 
"Islamabad should work for the projection of Kashmir issue on 
international fora," Ejaz said. 
He said that declaring the Kashmir freedom movement tantamount to 
`terrorism` or dubbing it as `cross-boarder infiltration` are the 
steps through which New Delhi has been trying to lead the 
international community up the garden path. 
Ejaz asked India to accept the disputed nature of Kashmir. 
He also said that a parliamentary delegation of Germany is about 
to visit Kashmir in order to eye up the whole situation and make 
awareness about the issue.
