President of Pakistan administered Kashmir, Sardar Masood Khan has said that India has been manipulating ‘terrorism’ in Balochistan province to avert stiff resistance and pressure it is facing in Kashmir.

He said that the people of both Balochistan and Kashmir were the victims of Indian ‘terrorism’, and India’s ‘terrorism’ in Balochistan was designed to prevent Pakistan from raising its voice for the Kashmiri people on the international level, said a press release issued here on Wednesday.

He said that India through neither repressive means nor lucrative economic offers could deter the valiant Kashmiri people from their just cause for the attainment of their right to self-determination.

“India must note that Balochistan is a constitutional and lawful part of Pakistan, while Jammu and Kashmir is a disputed territory whose future is yet to be decided,” he said adding that India’s interference and ‘terrorism’ in Balochistan violated international laws and principles.

He said that popular uprising in Kashmir had a history as old as 200 years, and it was not wise to declare it terrorism and to blame Pakistan for patronizing it.

“The ongoing movement for liberation from Indian clutches since 1947 has actually been the continuation of the liberation movement against Dogra rule,” Khan said.

PaK president said that Islamabad-Delhi and Muzaffarabad-Srinagar talks were the only way to find a durable solution to 70 years old Kashmir issue and to ensure peace, security and stability of South Asia.

“The game of death and destruction in Kashmir must end now because the use of force by India could not defeat the will of Kashmiri people,” he added.
