Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has devotedly highlighted Kashmir issue: Umar Rehman Malik
Staff Writer
Islamabad: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader Umar Rehman Malik said this week that Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari – who is also the PPP chairman – had devotedly highlighted the Kashmir issue.
Speaking to Covert from Dubai, Malik appreciated the wisdom and intellect shown by the young PPP chairman.
He said Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari had “surprised many a intelligent brains.”
Malik said in a way, Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto jolted the Indian establishment when he in New York May 11, 2022, raised the issue of the India’ Illegally Occupied Kashmir issue.
Going one step further and in a brave move, the Foreign Minister wrote a straight letter to the UN highlighting the Kashmir issue in detail, Malik mentioned.
The PPP said perhaps no Foreign Minister from Pakistan in last few decades had accomplished such an act thus Bilawal Bhutto must be admired by the entire South Asian population for having brought the issue of Kashmir to the forefront.
“Needless to say, the Kashmir concern is a flash point in South Asia which may bring in the two South Asian nuclear regional forces face to face any time if and when the two nation’s conflict takes new dimension,” he contended.
To put it bluntly, Malik said, Indian Occupied Kashmir not only is an overly stretched nuisance in between India and Pakistan but the issue in itself is a grave threat to South Asian regional security-the threat US deliberately ignores.
Umar Rehman Malik said FM Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s efforts have raised the hope that the UN body may have come out from deep “snooze”.
Malik said at the United Nations, FM Bilawal reiterated to continue to expose India’s state terrorism and its oppression against the people of the Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
He said Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari wrote a letter to the President and Secretary-General of the United Nations Security Council drawing attention to the illegal demarcation of Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, which seeks to reduce the Muslim population in the region.
“Bilawal’s main thrust is to draw the attention of the UN Security Council which so far has failed in materializing its own committed pronouncements made some seven decades ago,” Malik observed.
