TITLED: "KASHMIR CONFLICT: REUNIFICATION OF THE HISTORICAL STATE OF JAMMU & KASHMIR AND THE RIGHT TO SELF-DETERMINATION." THE CONFERENCE HOSTED BY THE HONORABLE RICHARD BURGON, A DISTINGUISHED LABOUR PARTY POLITICIAN AND MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT FOR LEEDS EAST. DRAFT RESOLUTIONS THE UKPNP INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE HELD AT THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT ON 26TH NOVEMBER 2024. RESOLUTION 1: REUNIFICATION OF JAMMU AND KASHMIR FOR REGIONAL PEACE. THE CONFERENCE EMPHASIZES THE URGENT NEED FOR THE REUNIFICATION OF THE ERSTWHILE STATE OF JAMMU AND KASHMIR AS A CRITICAL STEP TOWARD ACHIEVING SUSTAINABLE PEACE AND STABILITY IN SOUTH ASIA. REUNIFICATION IS SEEN AS ESSENTIAL FOR FOSTERING MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING, REDUCING HOSTILITIES, AND PROMOTING CONSTRUCTIVE DIALOGUE BETWEEN INDIA AND PAKISTAN. THE RESTORATION OF THE REGION’S TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY IS URGED AS A CATALYST FOR LONG-TERM PEACEBUILDING AND REGIONAL COOPERATION. RESOLUTION 2: GUARANTEEING FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS IN PAKISTANI-ADMINISTERED AZAD JAMMU AND KASHMIR. THE CONFERENCE CALLS UPON THE GOVERNMENT OF PAKISTAN AND AUTHORITIES IN AZAD JAMMU AND KASHMIR TO ENSURE THE PROTECTION OF FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS, INCLUDING FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION, ASSEMBLY, AND SPEECH, IN ACCORDANCE WITH INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS STANDARDS. IT EXPRESSES CONCERN OVER INCREASING RESTRICTIONS ON PEACEFUL PUBLIC GATHERINGS, THE ENACTMENT OF REPRESSIVE LAWS, AND OTHER MEASURES THAT UNDERMINE DEMOCRATIC GOVERNANCE. THESE RESTRICTIONS MUST BE REPEALED IMMEDIATELY TO RESTORE A DEMOCRATIC AND JUST SOCIETY. PAKISTAN IS FURTHER URGED TO WITHDRAW ITS EXTERNAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION FROM THE REGION, INCLUDING LENT OFFICERS, TO ENHANCE LOCAL AUTONOMY AND GOVERNANCE. RESOLUTION 3: ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THE JAMMU AND KASHMIR STATE ASSEMBLY’S RESOLUTION ON SPECIAL STATUS THIS CONFERENCE ACKNOWLEDGES THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE RECENT RESOLUTION PASSED BY THE JAMMU AND KASHMIR STATE ASSEMBLY, ADVOCATING FOR THE RESTORATION OF SPECIAL STATUS AND STATEHOOD. IT RECALLS INDIA’S ENTRY INTO THE STATE OF JAMMU AND KASHMIR UNDER THE TREATY OF ACCESSION IN 1947, WHICH PLACES THE RESPONSIBILITY ON INDIA TO ENSURE THE UNIFICATION OF THE REGION AND THE PROTECTION OF KASHMIRI LIVES, LIBERTIES, AND PROPERTIES. THE CONFERENCE CALLS UPON INDIA TO HONOR ITS COMMITMENTS AND PLEDGES MADE TO THE PEOPLE OF JAMMU AND KASHMIR. THE RESTORATION OF STATEHOOD, INCLUDING THAT OF LADAKH, AND THE REINSTATEMENT OF SPECIAL STATUS ARE DEEMED VITAL FOR ADDRESSING THE GRIEVANCES AND ASPIRATIONS OF THE KASHMIRI PEOPLE WHILE ENSURING JUSTICE, PEACE, AND DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES. RESOLUTION 4: ENSURING EQUAL POLITICAL PARTICIPATION IN AZAD JAMMU AND KASHMIR THE CONFERENCE EXPRESSES SERIOUS CONCERN OVER THE EXCLUSION OF PRO-KASHMIR POLITICAL PARTIES, INCLUDING THE UNITED KASHMIR PEOPLE'S NATIONAL PARTY (UKPNP), FROM REGISTERING WITH THE ELECTION COMMISSION IN AZAD JAMMU AND KASHMIR. IT STRONGLY CONDEMNS COERCIVE MEASURES THAT FORCE POLITICAL PARTIES AND INDIVIDUALS TO PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO PAKISTAN, UNDERMINING DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES AND FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS. THE CONFERENCE CALLS UPON PAKISTAN TO REPEAL ALL DISCRIMINATORY LAWS THAT OBSTRUCT THE REGISTRATION AND PARTICIPATION OF PEACEFUL DEMOCRATIC PARTIES. IT URGES THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A TRANSPARENT AND INCLUSIVE ELECTORAL PROCESS THAT ALLOWS ALL POLITICAL ENTITIES AND INDIVIDUALS TO PARTICIPATE FREELY, WITHOUT PRE-SCREENING OR COERCION, THEREBY ENSURING POLITICAL PLURALISM AND DEMOCRATIC INTEGRITY. RESOLUTION 5: ADDRESSING PROXY WARS AND HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS IN JAMMU AND KASHMIR THE CONFERENCE CONDEMNS THE USE OF PROXY WARS AND PROXY POLITICS IN JAMMU AND KASHMIR WHICH HAS ADDED TO THE SUFFERINGS OF ITS PEOPLE. THE CONFERENCE FURTHER URGES PAKISTAN AND INDIA TO STOP INDULGING IN THIS INSANE PHENOMENON OF PROXY WAR WHICH HAS WREAKED HAVOC WITH THE LIVES OF KASHMIRIS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE BORDERS BESIDE CREATING A SPECTER OF A TERRIBLE CONFLICT THAT MIGHT ESCALATE INTO A NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST GIVEN THE DOMINANCE OF WAR MONGERS IN THE POLITICS OF THE TWO SOUTH ASIAN NUCLEAR STATES. IT ALSO ASKS ISLAMABAD TO END ITS POLITICAL INTERFERENCE THAT HAS PREVENTED SECULAR AND DEMOCRATIC PARTIES FROM FREELY PARTICIPATING IN THE POLITICAL PROCESS OF THE REGION. IT CALLS FOR THE IMMEDIATE DISMANTLING OF TERRORIST INFRASTRUCTURE IN AZAD JAMMU AND KASHMIR AND THE CESSATION OF OPERATIONS BY BANNED OUTFITS IN THE REGION. THE PARTICIPANTS OF THE CONFERENCE BELIEVE THAT THE PROTECTION OF LIFE, LIBERTY, AND PROPERTY IS THE FUNDAMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY OF ALL STATES AND THEY MUST PERFORM THIS DUTY. WIDESPREAD HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS, INCLUDING THOSE PERPETRATED BY EXTREMIST GROUPS AND EXCESSIVE USE OF FORCE BY SECURITY AGENCIES, MUST END IMMEDIATELY. THIS CONFERENCE URGES INDIA AND PAKISTAN TO PRIORITIZE THE PROTECTION OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND ADHERE TO INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS STANDARDS BESIDES ENSURING ACCOUNTABILITY OF HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATORS IN ORDER TO PROMOTE PEACE AND JUSTICE IN JAMMU AND KASHMIR. RESOLUTION 6: CALL FOR IMMEDIATE AND UNCONDITIONAL RELEASE OF POLITICAL DETAINEES IN AZAD KASHMIR THIS CONFERENCE UNEQUIVOCALLY CONDEMNS THE ARREST AND DETENTION OF PEACEFUL POLITICAL AND HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVISTS IN AZAD KASHMIR. WE DEMAND THE IMMEDIATE AND UNCONDITIONAL RELEASE OF ALI SHAMRAIZ, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED KASHMIR NATIONAL STUDENT ORGANIZATION (UKNSO), RASHAD AHMED, AND ALL OTHER POLITICAL DETAINEES. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT PAKISTAN UPHOLDS FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN RIGHTS AND FULFILLS ITS INTERNATIONAL OBLIGATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES. THE ONGOING SUPPRESSION OF POLITICAL VOICES UNDERMINES THE PRINCIPLES OF JUSTICE AND DEMOCRACY. THIS CONFERENCE STANDS FIRMLY IN SOLIDARITY WITH THOSE WHO PEACEFULLY ADVOCATE FOR THEIR RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS.

JAMMU KASHMIR STATE SUBJECT RULE OF 1927:> EMPHASIZE THAT THE JAMMU KASHMIR STATE SUBJECT RULE OF 1927, WHICH PROVIDES IDENTITY AND SPECIAL STATUS TO ALL CITIZENS OF THE FORMER PRINCELY STATE, MUST NOT BE VIOLATED OR TAMPERED WITH IN ANY FORM.

THIS FORCED DIVISION AND SUFFERING MUST END, ALLOWING PEOPLE TO ENJOY THEIR FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN RIGHTS AND RIGHT TO LIFE.

SOUTH ASIA’S ROLE IN GLOBAL POLITICS:> UNDERSTAND THAT SOUTH ASIA HAS A TURBULENT HISTORY WHERE THE INTERESTS OF MANY COUNTRIES CLASH WITH THOSE OF THE REGION. WE MUST ENSURE THAT JAMMU AND KASHMIR AND SOUTH ASIA DO NOT BECOME BATTLEGROUNDS FOR A ‘NEW COLD WAR’ OR A ‘NEW GREAT GAME’.

WARS ARE NOT A SOLUTION TO PROBLEMS; INSTEAD, THEY LEAD TO THE DESTRUCTION OF HUMANS AND THE BANKRUPTCY OF ECONOMIES. THE UKPNP CALLS FOR MEANINGFUL AND IMMEDIATE NEGOTIATIONS FOR THE IMMEDIATE CESSATION OF ONGOING WARS IN PALESTINE, UKRAINE, AND OTHER COUNTRIES AND REGIONS, AND FOR THE RESTORATION OF PEACE.

United Kashmir People's National Party(UKPNP)

On the historical day of 16th March-1846 more than 170 years before the state of Jammu & Kashmir was created by Mahrajah Gulab Singh.
This great achievement was destroyed in 1947, by the newly created state of Pakistan by the British colonial masters. The successive Dogra dynasty has developed former states in all areas. Out of 564, princely state in contemporary era the Jammu & Kashmir was first where people were granted Right to Vote and elect their representatives. The great Mahrajah Hari Singh introduced state subject rule in 1927, that protected the land of the state from foreign encroachment. The people of all divided regions wish to reunite once again and we are peacefully striving for the United States of Kashmir.

United States of Kashmir

In early 90’s UKPNP had propounded a concept for resolving the Kashmir issue in order to avoid any further strike between two big rivals India and Pakistan, which can now even more dangerous being Nuclear power. This concept is “United States of Kashmir” in other words converting both parts of Kashmir into an independent state free from Pakistan & India control includingVALLEY, DARDISTAN, BALTISTAN (Northern Areas) LADAKH, POONCH, KISHTWAR, BROSHAL and JAMMU region.

As a prerequisite to the move, UKPNP has charted the following roadmap, which believed to be the most effective in order to step forward for the final phase:

It might be necessary to take the first step towards the reduction of Indian and Pakistani forces from the Kashmir borders.
The immediate and complete cessation of military, paramilitary and militant action.
Withdrawal of the military presence from towns and villages.
Releasing of political prisoners.
Changing cavalier attitudes towards human rights violations, especially custodial tortures and killings and Intelligence agencies harassment.
Restoring the rights of peaceful association, assembly and demonstration.
Permitting the Kashmiri leadership that favors a negotiated resolution to travel abroad without hindrance.
Permitting the Exiled leadership of Jammu and Kashmir to travel back home and give them a formal assurance of their safety,security,life and liberty.

Creating necessary conditions and providing facilities for an intra-Kashmiri dialogue involving both sides of the LOC.
These are indeed very sensible proposals from a representative body which may provide a logical framework for the solution of the Kashmir dispute. But India and Pakistan would both have serious reservations about converting Jammu Kashmir into an independent state. Both India and Pakistan should grab it with sincerity and a spirit of accommodation. They must show broad political vision and strive for a satisfactory solution. It would be advisable that as a first step the Kashmir issue should be freed from the clutches of the secret agencies of both countries and hard-liner bureaucrats, and tackled with political wisdom and foresight.

Pakistan too should abolish the Ministry of Kashmir Affairs and Lent officers called back to Islamabad. The Indian governor, who is the de facto ruler of Occupied Kashmir, and the both armed forces, which are on Kashmiri soil to crush the struggle for self-determination, should be pulled out according to UNCIP resolutions. The elected government should be allowed to function freely with the full cooperation of all indigenous political groups.

Since India is also in favor of full autonomy for Occupied Kashmir, it is time for Pakistan to consider this seriously and make it a basis for further negotiations on Kashmir.

The State of Jammu Kashmir is one political entity; and the entire State, which includes areas of Gilgit Baltistan, so called Azad Kashmir, Jammu, Valley of Kashmir and Ladakh is disputed.

Appreciates recent dialogues between India and Pakistan; and sincerely hope that both countries will resolve the Kashmir dispute through a process of dialogue, and by adopting all peaceful means and in accordance with aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir State.

The time When this idea was being announced UKPNP was known as JKPNP and to make this more effective and awareness Sardar Shaukat Ali Kashmiri changed the party name from JAMMU KASHMIR People’s National Party (JKPNP) to UNITED KASHMIR people’s National Party (UKPNP) in 1994 and UKPNP manifesto is all based on United States of Kashmir concept, as UKPNP leadership belief there is only one most effective and durable solution for this valley is a United independent and free Kashmir.
