Abdullah Gul (Defense Analyst):
Imran Khan has spoken so openly and candidly talked about the issue of Ummah. Despite the fact that Modi is known as the butcher of Gujrat, Trump not only welcomed him warmly but also ensured facilitation. Imran Khan and Tayyip Erdoğan have shown strong commitment to defend Islam and counter Islam phobia at every international fora. World has seen the double standards of the United States. It is highly condemnable that act of a person is always associated with religion. The United States trained Taliban to counter Russia in Afghanistan. The issue of terrorism was created by the West. I appreciate the efforts of PM for raising issue of the Muslim world and the way he defended religion against false propaganda. The international community should realize that Kashmir is a flash point between two nuclear states and any misadventure can result into massive catastrophe.
Dr. Musarat Ameen (Defense Analyst):
Imran Khan has left no stone unturned in order to highlight Kashmir issue at international front. It is diplomatic victory of Pakistan that International community has taken notice of human rights violations in Indian Occupied Kashmir. World should take appropriate measures to bring India on negotiation table. History is witness that United States is not a reliable partner and Trump will not mediate on Kashmir dispute. If the US is really sincere, she should pressurize India to resolve Kashmir issue in accordance with United Nations resolutions.
Dr. Haider Mehdi (IR Expert):
We should understand that the dynamics of global politics depend on economic perspective. Pakistan is confronting with a fascist, dangerous and decisive adversary. Abrogation of 370 was not possible without the support of western powers. It was the main agenda of BJP’s election manifesto. Despite all the challenges it is appreciable that Prime Minister Imran Khan is effectively highlighting Kashmir issue at every international fora. Imran Khan has emerged as an advocate of Kashmir cause at international front.
Air Vice Marshal Retd Ikram Ullah Bhatti (Defense Analyst):
PM is internationalizing Kashmir issue in an unprecedented manner. Revoking of article 370 has further strengthened the Kashmir freedom movement. It is high time for international community to pressurize India to stop grave human rights violations in India occupied Kashmir. It is diplomatic victory of Pakistan that International media has taken notice of human rights situation in IOK. Pakistan is determined to support Kashmir cause diplomatically, politically and morally. Unfortunately, the United States, United Nations and other champions of human rights have failed to resolve Kashmir issue politically. The western public can play a prominent role in order to pressurize their governments to come forward and support the people of Kashmir. Trump should use his influence to pressurize India to lift curfew and ease life of the people of Kashmir
Dr. Talat Wazarat(IR Expert):
It is expected that Prime Minister Imran Khan will focus on Kashmir issue in his speech at United Nations General Assembly session. Unfortunately the west is pursuing Pleasing India policy for economic interests. The international community should realize that neglecting Kashmir issue is posing serious threat to global peace. The United States tilt towards India is disturbing balance of power and further escalating situation in the region.
Dr. A.Z. Hilali (Expert on International Relations):
Pakistan is pursuing very effective diplomacy to raise the Kashmir issue at international level. The previous governments did not take sufficient measures to highlight Kashmir issue and sensitize the world. India's stance regarding Kashmir is very weak at International level. International media has exposed Indian brutalities in Indian occupied Kashmir. There is complete clampdown in the held valley. Kashmir is the jugular vein of Pakistan and Pakistan will never compromise on Kashmir cause. The indigenous freedom movement is led by the people of Kashmir, who are not terrorists, but freedom fighters. It is a positive development that world's stance regarding Kashmir is changing now. Prime Minister Imran Khan has emerged as an advocate of Kashmir cause. The people of Kashmir are eyeing upon Pakistan and Prime Minister Imran Khan will never disappoint them.
Lieutenant General, retired, Naeem Khalid Lodhi (Defense Analyst): F
oreign office of Pakistan has done tremendous job in order to highlight Kashmir issue at international front. The world has realized that Kashmir freedom movement should not be equated with terrorism. The future of Kashmir is free and bright. US tilt towards India is further escalating tensions in the region. Pakistan is determined to stand-to-shoulder with their Kashmiri brethren. India's aggressive attitude towards Kashmir is posing serious threat to regional peace.
Dr. Zahid Anwar Khan (Political Analyst):
Prime Minister Imran Khan is pursuing mission Kashmir successfully and came to attend UNGA session with an agenda to sensitize the International community regarding Human rights situation in Indian Occupied Kashmir (IOK). United Nations general Assembly session is an opportunity for Prime Minister Imran Khan to meet world leaders and present Pakistan's stance effectively regarding Kashmir issue. Trump's meeting with Imran Khan was cordial and he once again offered his mediation in Kashmir dispute. The situation in Kashmir is very sensitive and there is complete lockdown in the held valley. The people of Kashmir are totally cut down from rest of the world. Pakistan, Turkey and Malaysia are working to address the issue of Islam phobia and hate speech about Muslims. All the Muslim countries should be on same page to eliminate the concept of Islam phobia. OIC and UN should play their active role in this regard.
