London (Special Correspondent):
The election of Shah Ghulam Qadir as Prime Minister of Azad Jammu and Kashmir is not only a welcome development but also a highly commendable decision. His personality and political contribution are respected not only in Azad Kashmir and Pakistan but also among Kashmiris and Pakistanis living across Europe. He is widely regarded as a positive, balanced, serious and politically and diplomatically experienced figure with a broad vision.
Shah Ghulam Qadir has played an important role in highlighting the Kashmir issue on European Union platforms. During his involvement with the Kashmir Centre in Brussels, he participated alongside Barrister Majid Trambu in numerous conferences and programmes focused on Kashmir. He presented the perspective of Pakistan and the Kashmiri people before the international community and spoke with clarity about the sensitivity of the Kashmir dispute, the difficulties faced by the people of Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, and their concerns regarding Indian policies.
His election as Prime Minister of Azad Kashmir has been warmly welcomed by overseas Kashmiris and Pakistanis, particularly those involved with the Kashmir Action Committee UK. Activists have described Shah Ghulam Qadir as a sincere, approachable and constructive personality and expressed hope that, under his leadership, dialogue and consultation with all political and social groups will be strengthened.
The renowned Kashmiri freedom leader from Indian-occupied Kashmir and former Chairman of the Kashmir Centre Brussels, Barrister Majid Trambu, also extended his heartfelt congratulations to the newly elected Prime Minister of Azad Kashmir, Shah Ghulam Qadir.
Barrister Majid Trambu said that Shah Ghulam Qadir is a patriotic Kashmiri who has a deep understanding of the Kashmir issue. According to him, Shah Ghulam Qadir demonstrated courage, confidence and clarity while addressing the Kashmir issue at conferences organised by the Kashmir Centre in Brussels and effectively represented the sentiments of the Kashmiri people. He possesses the experience and ability to present the Kashmiri position before the international community and highlight concerns regarding human rights in Indian-occupied Kashmir.
He said that Shah Ghulam Qadir’s election as Prime Minister of Azad Kashmir would raise the morale of the Kashmiri people and could provide fresh momentum to efforts to highlight the Kashmir issue internationally. It is hoped that diplomatic, political and public engagement on Kashmir will gain further strength under his leadership.
Shah Ghulam Qadir is not only emotionally connected with the Kashmir cause but also has practical experience of presenting it at the international level. For this reason, overseas Kashmiris hope that he will play an important role in connecting the government of Azad Kashmir with the Kashmiri diaspora, strengthening the international voice on Kashmir, and promoting a positive image of Pakistan and Azad Kashmir.
In the present circumstances, Azad Kashmir needs leadership that can rise above political differences, bring all sections of society together, take overseas Kashmiris into confidence and present the Kashmir cause more effectively on the international diplomatic front.
The election of Shah Ghulam Qadir as Prime Minister has created renewed hope that the leadership of Azad Kashmir will focus not only on resolving the problems faced by its people but will also strengthen efforts to present the Kashmir issue effectively before the international community.
Heartfelt congratulations and best wishes are extended to the newly elected Prime Minister of Azad Kashmir, Shah Ghulam Qadir. It is hoped that he will use his new responsibility to serve the people of Kashmir, promote the development and prosperity of Azad Kashmir, strengthen its relationship with the overseas Kashmiri community, and advance the Kashmir cause with determination and effectiveness.
