PDC condemns PM Gillani on Durand line
July 5, 2009 – 12:36 pm| PASHTUN DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL PRESS RELEASE Chairman Pashtun Democratic Council Zar Ali Khan Musazai has strongly condemned the Statement of the Pakistani Prime Minister Syed Yousaf Raza Gillani in which he demanded of Americans to force Afghan Government to accept to fence the Durand line and make it as a permanent border between two countries. He said that Pashtun/Afghans will never accept Durand Line as a permanent border between two countries and to fence it is never acceptable to Afghan living both sides of the Durand line. It is a line drawn forcefully which has artificially divided one nation into two parts in1893 at a time when English were ruling India. English drew this line without the consent of the Pashtun/Afghans.Since the time Pashtun/Afghans have not realized this as a border and will not do so in future. It is true that Americans are the friends of Pashtun/Afghan and we do know that they will help us in the solution of our problems but as for as the fencing of Durand line is concerned we request them and international community to force Pakistani leadership to avoid further miseries of Pashtun/Afghan and help them in resolving of their issues which will make this nation to get united and this is the real solution of all the problems in region. Taking Pashtun /Afghan away from each other will never help in elimination of terrorism rather it needs commitment, sincerity and honesty on the part of Islamabad. The sources and nests of terrorists are in the Punjab. Pashtun Democratic Council demands of International Community to help Pashtun/Afghans get united and take this issue very serious. It is not a problem of the two states that they will sit together and say O.K.It is a long standing demand of a nation which has been kept separated for more than 100 years artificially. He has also urged upon all Pashtun/Afghans living every where in the world to stand united and appraise the world about their problems and get them informed that Durand Line is not a border and Pashtun/Afghans will never accept it as one because this is the issue of a nation survival. 21st is the century of unity of the colonially divided nations. If world community wishes to see this region as a cradle of peace then it will have help to bring artificially divided nation closer and keeping it further aloof will create problems. |
