New Delhi: September 14, 2019. (PCP) Prof. Bhim Singh, Supremo of J&K National Panthers Party who is also specialized on the International Court of Justice & UN Security Council reminded Pakistan Prime Minister who is speaking on Jammu and Kashmir in Muzaffrabad today to go through the contents of the 7.48 hours speech that India’s representative Mr. V.K. Krishna Menon made thrilling & longest speech before the United Nations General Assembly on January 23 & 24, 1957. The issues raised by Mr. Krishna Menon are still alive and the representative before any platform of the United Nations must understand and follow. How V.K. Krishna Menon silenced Pakistan and created an international climate which divided the opinion of the Permanent Members of the Security Council. It was the then USSR (present Russia) which was emotionally, politically and internationally persuaded and decided to stand by India right from 1957 till date.

Prof.Bhim Singh reminded the Pak Prime Minister, Mr. Imran Khan to go through the historical background of Jammu and Kashmir and its history of Accession with the Union of India in 1947 when Pakistan was created by the Act of British Parliament. Prof.Bhim Singh who has been a student of International Law in British University of London today made a strong plea to the Prime Minister of Pakistan Mr. Imran Khan that he shall do good to himself and to the country he represents if he cares to go through the history of division of India n 1947 and the Act of British Parliament dealing with the process of acceding to either Union of India or to Pakistan. Mr. Imran Khan has been one of the best cricket players in his field of sports and he shall do good if he tries to go through the pages of history that led to the division of India into India & Pakistan. Mr. Imran Khan may not pick up points for election speeches while he is dealing with international issue and the problem. First of all the Pakistan Prime Minister should know the history and the facts that Jammu and Kashmir is not occupied territory like Gilgit & Baltistan or Muzaffrabad. J&K Ruler, Maharaja Hari Singh signed the Instrument of Accession like other 575 rulers acceding to Union of India on October 26, 1947. The Accession was in respect of entire State of J&K measuring 84,000 sq. miles of territory. It was admitted by the United Nations in its resolution in January 1948 that Pakistan invaded J&K and Pakistan was directed to vacate the territories it had occupied before referendum could be organized under the rule of Maharaja of J&K in 1948. Pakistan leadership and its Prime Minister may do good to himself by looking at the history of J&K. It is obviously, historically, factually and even from the records of United Nations cleared that territory which Pakistan is controlling is occupied whereas India is holding the territory which has not been defined as occupied because it was Ruler of J&K who had offered Accession of J&K to India. This is substance should have been in the mind of Indian representative at the United Nations. The representatives are not meant to make a news but they are supposed to  convey the message supported by history and the circumstances in cases like Jammu and Kashmir.

Prof.Bhim Singh made a strong appeal to those who have started talking war or capturing disputed territory by force or like that. The dispute is before the United Nations about the occupied territory by Pakistan in POK, Gilgit, Baltistan as well as part of the territory illegally transferred by Pakistan to China since 1963. Both Pakistan & China have occupied Jammu and Kashmir Territory by force and in violation of the Resolutions of the Security Council. This is the subject matter which should be taught to the Indian representatives while they speak on Jammu and Kashmir before the United Nations.

Prof.Bhim Singh urged the Govt.of India to prepare the Indian representatives before the United Nations to carry India’s message with support of the history, geography and International Law instead of counter shouting at the representatives speaking for the other side. 195 countries of the world represent the United Nations and this is an opportunity for Indian representative to convey the living history of the past and present to each representative sitting in any section of the United Nations. War/battle is no solution nor it is expected that two brotherly nations, India & Pakistan shall ever take such a step in future. Both India & Pakistan should trust the people of J&K on both sides and allow them to continue 'Heart to Heart' Talk which they initiated in 2005 among the political and social leaders of both sides of J&K. War is no solution. The solution lies in promoting a healthy/brotherly dialogue between the two sides of J&K including Gilgit & Baltistan without disturbing the LoC/borders.
