On 15th January 2019, Volunteers Force Pakistan (YFP) and Kashmir Youth Alliance (KYA) organized Volunteer Peace Conference at President House, Muzaffarabad, Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), presided over by Sardar Masood Khan, President AJK.
The conference was also attended by Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Ali Mohammad Khan, former AJK Prime Minister Sardar Attique Ahmed Khan, Chairman AJK Legislative Assembly’s Public Accounts Committee Abdul Rashid Turabi, President KYA Dr. Syed Mujahid Gilani, President VFP Usman Raza Jolaha, Chairman Muslim Conference Youth Wing Sardar Usman Ali Khan, Secretary General KYA Razi Tahir and others.
In his address, Sardar Masood Khan warned that if India dared to attack the liberated territory, it will have to face the valiant people of the Azad Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan, and Pakistan, who are not only ready to sacrifice their lives for the defense of their nation but are also imbibed with the spirit of martyrdom.
“An attack on Kashmir, is an attack on Pakistan’s very existence”, said the President. He urged 130 million Pakistani youth to rise up in support of their Kashmiri brothers and sisters, to create awareness about the Kashmir struggle and expose India through all available mediums of communication.
In his address, Minister of State, Ali Mohammad Khan, said that if India committed aggression, this region will be turned into the graveyard of Indian Army. He recollected that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi publicly said that he would use nuclear bombs against Pakistan while his Defense Minister Rajnath Singh and Army Chief Gen. Manoj Mukund Naravane are threatening to invade Azad Kashmir. He warned that the Indian Army has always taken up arms against defenseless people, but it lacks the skills and capability to fight a regular professional army.
Addressing the conference, Jamaat-e-Islami leader and Member AJK Legislative Assembly Abdul Rashid Turabi said that the Kashmir liberation movement was the continuation of the Pakistan movement. He maintained that after August 5, India had thought that it would crush the struggle of the Kashmiri people, but the Kashmiris through their will and determination have shattered the hopes of the Indian rulers.
