A meeting of VOP chaired by its President Lt. Gen Ali Kuli Khan (retd) noted that India cannot mislead world opinion by leveling baseless allegations against Pakistan just to cover up its own brutalities against people of occupied Jammu and Kashmir who is asking for their right of self-determination as promised by the United Nations.
Members of VOP were of the view that it has become the habit of the Indian government to immediately put blame on Pakistan for such incidents which are primarily, a reaction against its oppressive policies. These tactics are also being used to win the support of voters and suppress the Muslim population, whom the extremist followers of Modi consider to be sympathetic to Pakistan.
These extremists do not spare even the non-Muslims Indians who ask for improvement in relations with Pakistan, they said.
They observed that Jaish-e-Muhammed (JeM) is already a banned organization in Pakistan. If India had any evidence then it should share it with our government to catch the culprits instead of beating war drums just to boost internal political support. India cannot manipulate world opinion forever.
Pakistan's one-sided bold action to open the Kartarpur Corridor is a major step towards improvement of relations with India. With the backdrop of this historical bold step, who would believe Indian story on Pulwama incident. It was high time for India to wake up to realities and take steps for implementation of UN Security Council's Resolutions.
Vice Admiral Ahmad Tasnim (retd), Air Marshall Masood Akhtar (retd), Salim Gandapur, Brig Mian Mahmud (retd), Dr. Babur Zaheeruddin, Major Farouk Hamid Khan (retd), Brig Arbi Khan (retd), Col Dalel Khan (retd) and Brig Masud-ul-Hassan (retd) were also present in the meeting.
