Sardar Anwar Khan advocate central president of Jammu Kashmir National Awami Party, while speaking here to party office bears and workers said that 'withdrawl of occupational forces from kashmir would be a step in the right direction towards peace. War is not the solution to the problems but dialogue is a step forward in a right direction. The ruling classes of India and Pakistan ought to see the national libertaion struggle of the kashmiris through ground realties and Kashmiris being first party in any negoiations.The two nuclear powers of South Asia,rather than conquering Kashmir should divert the resources of both countries to eradicate poverty, hunger, illitracy and underdevelopment. The whole of south Asia has been made hotage by the international arms dealers'. He said that in the last '55 years the ruling classes conducted the dramas in the form of three wars and today,55% of the population was forced to live below the poverty line'. He said 'communalism, terrorism , poverty and arms race surrounds whole of the sub-continent, while the ruling classes were busy upon promoting and impelementing imperlialist agenda in this region, which began with the division of the Sub-Continet in 1947'.

He said 'it was treachery with the people in the name of freedom and independence . At present the people were not part and parcel of the politcal process and the whole region was on the brink of a war, and in Kashmir it has practically began'. He siad the' people of Kashmir were being killed on both side of the Line of Control through cross border shelling and motarfire'. He further said that the 'level the world capitalsit system has reached,rather then for the welfare of the humanity, is instead active toward it's destruction'. He said that, the 'world nations, while facing the real situation, the reason for world terrorism should be addressed and said the 'responsibility for the ongoing blood shed in Kashmir and Palestine falls on US and other western nations, directly or indirectly, who in view of their trade and business interest were important than human lives', and were 'avoiding to solves these issues'. Commenting on the UNO, he said that ' it has lost all the credibility and rather than solving problems, was playing the role of a spectator, which show the hollowness of this insituttaion'.

He said the ' supporters of peace forces had to, once again beome active, to safe humanity from possible nuclear catsatrophy'. He said looking at the 'Kashmir issue, division was no solution'.

He said it ' was the responsibility of the pro-peace forces in the Sub-Continent, icluding trade unions, left organisations, while looking in a pragmatic way at the situation of the kashmiri peoples struggle for independence, to eradicate the roots causes for the prevailing of terrorism, thus the region can be saved from total destruction'.

He further said it has been the US who planted the seed of terrorism and today the whole world was paying for that'.He said the Jammu Kashmir National Awami Party, believes that the 'solution to the national question of kashmir could only be solved on a socialist basis, because at present the capitalist system as whole was leading the process towards total destruction of the plant'.
