Islamabad, Jan 19: In a bid to express solidarity with the people of Jammu and Kashmir, the Jamaat-e-Islami PaK is all set to host a grand Kashmir Conference in the first week of February in Islamabad.
 “The National Kashmir Conference will be attended by the political leadership of Pakistan and the Kashmiri leaders hailing from both sides of the Line of Control (LoC)”, the JI chief Abdul Rashid Turabi said this while addressing a news conference here on Wednesday.
 “Seminars and symposiums will be held in all district headquarters of Pakistan, Pakistan administered Kashmir (PaK) and Gilgit-Baltistan to express solidarity with Kashmiris,” he said.
 Flanked by former MNA Mian Aslam and the JI leader Noor-ul-Bari, the JI chief called upon the people of Pakistan to stand by their Kashmiri brethren and observe the February 5 as Kashmir solidarity with full zeal and fervour.
 Flaying the PPP led coalition government’s appeasing policy towards India Turabi said that the incumbent regime has maintained complete silence over the Samjota Express carnage which he said was orchestrated by the Indian secret agencies and executed by the activists of rightwing parties.  
 Urging the government to shun its apologetic approach towards India on Mumbai attacks, Turabi asked the present regime to highlight Kashmir cause vociferously at international level.
 Pakistan, he said, should not feel shy in raising Kashmir issue at the United Nations and other relevant international forums as the Kashmiri peoples’ struggle was a legitimate political struggle for the attainment of right to self-determination guaranteed to them by the world community and the leadership of India as well.
