Oppose Sanctions against Iran

Amid growing tension between Israel and Iran, the chairman of Hurriyat (M) Mirwaiz Umar Farooq said that Iran has a right to acquire nuclear technology as much as other countries have.

“When other countries acquire nuclear technology no one opposes them. Whenever any Muslim country talks about it hue and cry is raised and every possible attempt is made to prevent them from doing so,”? Mirwaiz said while addressing a Friday congregation at historic Jamia Masjid in old city here.

Questioning the curbs and sanctions imposed on Muslim countries like Pakistan and Iran, Mirwaiz said, “Why are nuclear weapons of only Muslims nations’ threat to peace?,”?

Mirwaiz said that a new front is emerging against Iran and Pakistan and both these nations are “like thorns”? in the eyes of enemies of Muslims. “Kashmiris are with the people of Pakistan and Iran. Our heart beats for them. We cannot distance ourselves from the developments taking place in these two countries.”?

“We support people of Iran and pray to Allah that they overcome the present crisis. We share very rich cultural, historical and religious ties with people of Iran,”? he said.

The Jammu and Kashmir All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) Chairman urged Organization of Islamic Countries (OIC) to oppose the sanctions imposed on Iran and Pakistan. “The OIC should also work for forging unity among the Muslim nations. Muslims are in majority in many countries but unfortunately they lack unity. Need of the hour is to shun differences and move forward for the common cause,”? Mirwaiz said.

He said Muslims in Kashmir were being divided on the “sectarian lines by creating various institutes.”? “We cannot tolerate such institutions. People who are devising new strategies to tarnish the Islamic fabric of Kashmir should stop their activities forthwith,”? he added.
