The Muttahida Jihad Council (MJC) has decided to support the idea of an independent Kashmir and demilitarisation of the state. âA consensus has been evolved among the MJC leaders not to oppose the idea of an independent Kashmir and its demilitarisation,â sources in MJC informed Daily Times. The sources said that many MJC leaders were of the view that an independent Kashmir was the most viable solution to the dispute if it could not be resolved according to the UN Security Council resolutions. The sources said this was a major shift in the MJC stance because earlier the council had always supported the solution of Kashmir issue in accordance with the UN resolutions. âThe MJC leadership thinks that people in Held Kashmir consider freedom to be liberation form Indian occupation,â the head of a militant organisation of the MJC told Daily Times. Any solution that eliminates Indian interference in Kashmir will be acceptable, he added. âThe UN resolutions on Kashmir have become irrelevant because Pakistani and some Kashmiri leaders have come up with new ideas to resolve the issue,â he said.
| I guess this is their backup position, since India won't simply leave and let Pakland administer the place. An "independent" Kashmir could then be subverted and turned into something much like Bangla. |
