Islamabad, Feb 5: Thanking the people and the government of Pakistan for observing Kashmir Solidarity Day, the Chairman of the United Jihad Council (UJC) Syed Salah-ud-Din Tuesday said “Pakistan can’t remain indifferent to Kashmir and the sufferings of Kashmiri nation, which is an important party to the dispute.”
 According to a UJC statement, Salah-ud-Din made the remarks while addressing an extraordinary session of the Council here.
 On bilateral relationship between India and Pakistan, Salah-ud-Din said there was a dire need that the political leadership of Pakistan takes into account feelings and sentiments of Kashmiri nation while forging bilateral ties with India.
 He alleged that the Indian leadership was “sowing the seeds of distrust and hatred” amongst the Kashmiri masses towards Pakistan. However, he stated that “observance of Kashmir Solidarity Day by the people of Pakistan amply demonstrates the fact that the entire Pakistani nation is supporting Kashmiris in their struggle for right to self-determination.”
 He said Pakistan should also take appropriate measures to “highlight the plight of Kashmiris, thereby launching an effective media and diplomatic campaign.”
 He expressed hope that the day was not far “when the people of Kashmir would achieve their cherished goal.” He assured the Kashmiri nation that “all-out efforts would be made to foil nefarious designs of the enemy.”
