Jamaat-e-Islami Chief Asks Pak Govt For Scrapping The Shimla Pact

Karachi: Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) leader Ameer Sirajul Haq has asked the Pakistan government to scrap the 1972 Shimla Agreement with India, Pakistani media reported. “While our people are dying, you are acting as a mere spectator,” said Haq addressing a rally held here on Sunday to express solidarity with Kashmiris reeling under an unprecedented day-and-night curfew and communication blackout for several weeks. According to the reports, JI chief said it was their legal right to fight for freedom from India’s illegal occupation of their land. In response to the Indian move to unilaterally withdraw the Article 370 and 35A of its constitution, he demanded the Pakistan government to revoke the Shimla Accord and take solid measures to eliminate fence from the 450-km-long Line of Control. The Jamaat-e-Islami chief reiterated that his country would not be intimidated by Narendra Modi’s belligerent attitude.(IANS)
