Jammu, September 26, (Scoop News)- Pakistan shamelessly keeps on repeating lies and insinuations about United Nations resolutions on Jammu and Kashmir which it killed a long, long time ago. In fact, the world body has never even once taken up these resolutions after 1962, which means for last over half a century these have been rendered irrelevant, according to BJP state spokesperson Arun Kumar Gupta.
It is not India, as a false and misleading impression is often created worldwide, which refused to implement the UN resolutions. It is Pakistan which failed to do its bit for the implementation of these resolutions, he stressed.
The UN had passed the first resolution on the issue as resolution number 47 on April 21, 1948, after Pakistan had invaded the territory of Jammu and Kashmir in October 1947. It bears mention here that Maharaja Hari Singh had signed the Instrument of Accession on October 26, 1947, and the whole of the state of J&K had become an integral part of India thereafter.
The Indian armed forces had landed in J&K to defend the citizens of the state who were being maimed and killed by the invading Pakistani forces. The UN resolutions clearly identify Pakistan as the aggressor in the state of J&K against a legitimate Indian territory, and asked it to step back, according to a party press release issued here on Friday.
The resolution 47, is the basic UN resolution from which other resolutions on the issue followed. The resolution is divided into parts A, B and C with the first part, Part A, dealing with “Restoration of Peace and Order’’. And it says, “The Government of Pakistan should undertake to use its best endeavours: (a) To secure the withdrawal from the State of Jammu and Kashmir of tribesmen and Pakistani nationals not normally resident therein who have entered the State for the purposes of fighting, and to prevent any intrusion into the State of such elements and any furnishing of material aid to those fighting in the State.’’
Pakistan being identified as the aggressor and asked to vacate the aggression is the first and foremost demand of the UN. Leave aside in 1948, Pakistan has failed to vacate the areas of J&K it had captured then by deceit, till date, Mr Gupta pointed out.
By misleading the world at large on the vital issue of vacating occupied areas of Jammu and Kashmir as mandated by the UN, Pakistan is backstabbing the people of the state. In fact, the areas of J&K in India are much better off than those forcibly occupied by Pakistan, he added.
Pakistan is vitiating the cordial atmosphere Prime Minister Narendra Modi had created by inviting Nawaz Sharif to his swearing-in on May 26 in Delhi. This is nothing new because whenever India tries to normalise relations with its neighbour, Pakistan has always failed to reciprocate the goodwill. This is deplorable and unwarranted but keeping in line with our past experiences, he remarked.
In fact, there are, in all, 18 points listed in the UN Resolution 47 of April 21, 1948. And Pakistan has not implemented the very first step enumerated at number 1. Given this, it is astonishing that Pakistan harps on some issues listed in the next items. It is about time to expose its duplicity before the world and call a spade a spade, he concluded.
