Pakistan’s Civil and Military Leadership Unite on Kashmir Issue
ISLAMABAD—Chairman Rana Qasim Noon, head of Pakistan’s Kashmir Committee, has expressed confidence that Kashmir will soon become an integral part of Pakistan. Speaking at a press conference in Islamabad, Noon emphasized the unity between civil and military leadership regarding this long-standing issue.
Noon articulated his belief that Kashmir remains a vital component of Pakistan, not only from a geographical standpoint but also culturally and historically. He attributed the previous government’s failure to address the Kashmir dispute as part of its mismanagement and neglect of a significant portion of its population.
In Noon’s view, Pakistan stands alongside the people of Kashmir in their quest for justice and autonomy. The chairman highlighted similarities between the plight of Kashmiri civilians and those in Gaza, emphasizing that both regions are suffering under oppressive international regimes. He noted that while no power can undermine the historical bond between Pakistan and its Kashmiri populace, he remains optimistic about future progress.
Noon stressed the need to renew global attention on the UN resolutions related to Kashmir’s status. In Noon’s view, this issue has already been recognized as an international dispute requiring prompt resolution. The chairman reiterated that Pakistan aims for a peaceful and harmonious solution where all parties can coexist within agreed-upon boundaries. His statement underscored the determination of both civil and military sectors in pushing forward with efforts toward such an outcome.
The comments by Noon come amid heightened tensions over the region, underscoring the urgency for resolution without further escalation. His call to action reflects a unified stance from Pakistan’s leadership on addressing what they perceive as a fundamental national interest.
