Advocate this demand of the people that there must be free, totally impartial and transparent elections in Azad Kashmir and in Gilgit Baltistan; and the clause of ‘accession’ must be removed that all people can participate in elections without any fear or intimidation. 25.

Understand that South Asia has a turbulent history where interests of many other countries also clash with the interests of countries of the region. We must ensure that our forcibly divided Jammu and Kashmir and South Asia should not become a battleground for the ‘new cold war’ or a ‘new Great Game’. We all have to live in South Asia and face challenges of 21st Century; and work together to counter threats of terrorism, violence and xenophobia. 27. Call on governments of India and Pakistan to respect and honor civil and political rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir State; and also request the government of Pakistan to refrain from annexing areas of Gilgit Baltistan and Azad Kashmir, as that will further exacerbate the situation. Instead, we request the government to grant autonomy to both areas under their control so that the elected members could help the local people with everyday social, political and economic problems.

1. Strongly stand by and vote for peace, harmony and prosperity in the South Asian Region, especially in a unified Jammu and Kashmir, where people belonging to all faiths, cultures and political views can live with dignity, respect and security.
2. Condemn propagation of inequality, violence and hatred, that are premeditated, instigated and supported by the Pakistani Establishment in the erstwhile State of Jammu and Kashmir. The aim behind this gross abuse of fundamental human rights of the people is to imperil their lives and deny them the right to freedom, dignity and material prosperity. It is tragic that our motherland known as the Paradise on Earth is systematically destroyed and plundered by unleashing suppression and oppression of its indigenous population.
3. Proclaim that the Jammu and Kashmir dispute was created because of Pakistan’s unprovoked and imperial attack on Jammu and Kashmir, which not only resulted in kidnapping and raping of our women, and slaughtering of innocent citizens, but it also resulted in forced division of our motherland.
4. Announce that there is no military solution to the Jammu and Kashmir dispute, and dialogue is the only way forward; and in order to support the dialogue and peace process among all three parties to the dispute, politics of gun, fear and intimidation must end.
5. Call upon the Government of Pakistan to ensure Freedom of Speech for one and all living under its iron heels, irrespective of their faith, ethnicity, language and social status. We strongly stand for religious freedom for the followers of all faiths. Pakistan (despite being an Islamic country) persecuted religious minorities like the Shia and Qadianis. While the former are discriminated against and subjected to existential threat as an unwanted Islamic faction in Pakistan, the latter have been arbitrarily declared as non-Muslims and berated as untouchables.
6. Resolve to widen the space for peace, tolerance, harmony and respect for all, we urge members of other parties and groups, as well as our esteemed guests to become part of the team strengthen and promote the aspiration for global peace and a humane social order which must flourish and leave no space for violence and hatred.
7. Reiterate that the Jammu and Kashmir dispute is not a territorial dispute between India and Pakistan; therefore, it could not be resolved bilaterally. As the Principal party to the dispute, the people of Jammu and Kashmir must be part of the peace process.
8. Denounce extremism, violence and terrorism in their all forms and shapes; and vow to continue our struggle to oppose those who promote, condone or justify these evils.
9. Ensure that extremism, intolerance, religious hatred and violence is not exported abroad where expatriates are living in peace and harmony and are enjoying fruits of democracy, especially in Europe.
10. Concerned about signs of growing intolerance, religious hatred and extremism in Britain and some other European countries which could endanger civil liberties and fundamental rights of the people. In this regard, we request the authorities to take appropriate actions to curb activities of those who promote religious extremism, hatred and intolerance. End
