Islamabad:
Pakistan's lower house of parliament Thursday passed a resolution
demanding that the body of Indian parliament attack convict Afzal
Guru, who was executed in February, be handed over to his family
members in Jammu and Kashmir for proper burial, media reports
said.
Afzal Guru, who was hanged to death Feb 9 after remaining on death
row for about eight years, was found guilty of plotting the attack
on the Indian parliament Dec 13, 2001. He was buried in Delhi's
Tihar jail.
The resolution was moved in the National Assembly by Jamiat
Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, as the
house demanded an end to "atrocities" against innocent Kashmiris
and give them their internationally recognised right to decide
their future, the Associated Press of Pakistan (APP) reported.
"This house demands that India should stop brutal actions against
Kashmiries and atrocities inflicted on innocent people who were
protesting the execution of Kashmiri leader Afzal Guru," said the
resolution read by Rehman.
The house resolved that Pakistan will continue supporting
political, moral and diplomatic support of the peaceful, just and
inalienable right of Kashmiris to self-determination and their
struggle waged within the ambit of the UN Charter and according to
UN Security Council resolutions on Kashmir.
The National Assembly also called upon the Indian government to
lift the curfew from Jammu and Kashmir, repeal "black laws"
imposed on Kashmiri people, ensure freedom of media and allow free
exercising of religious practices as enshrined in UN resolutions
and charters, the newspakistan.pk website reported.
The resolution emphasised that the Kashmir issue was not an
internal affair of India.
It said the international community and UN Security Council should
not remain oblivious to this issue and play their role in its
resolution in light of UN resolutions.
