Title: OFBJP supports India's action in Kargil Author: OFBJP Publication: Kamal Darshan Date: June 16, 1999 Overseas Friends BJP strongly condemns the recent misadventure of Pakistan in the Kargil sector of Jammu and Kashmir. Pakistan undertook an exercise of massive infiltration of army regulars and occupying strategic areas with an aim of altering LOC, engaging in terrorist activities and cutting off the Ladakh from rest of the State. This is an outright aggression and blatant violation of Shimla Agreement and Lahore Declaration. It is shame that when India's Prime Minister was taking a Bus journey to Pakistan with the message of peace, friendship, harmony and love, Pakistan was making preparations to commit an aggression against India. This is a total betrayal of the India's trust, and rejection of the hand of the friendship extended by Prime Minister Vajpayee. India has rightly and justifiably launched major military operation including air-strikes. The entire NRI community and OFBJP whole heartedly support India's action to flush out the Pakistani infiltrators. We also condemn in the strongest words the evil designs of Pakistan. It is now clear that Pakistan is not interested in peaceful resolution and bilateral negotiation to solve problems between the two countries. It understands the language of war only rather than talks. We urge GOI to take whatever steps necessary to teach a lasting lesson to incorrigible, hypocritical, and double speaking Pakistani leaders. It is time that India should launch a massive operation to destroy all the training camps of the infiltrators in PoK. Today in the entire international community Pakistan is totally isolated. No country including its traditional allies are supporting or buying Pakistan's view point in the present crisis. USA has repeatedly asked Pakistan to withdraw its troops from Indian side, and then resolve the issue by bilateral discussions. UNO does not wish to intervene. China remains neutral. To-date India has scored its biggest diplomatic victory over Pakistan, who is considered an irresponsible, war-mongering, and terrorist country. On the other hand India has proved her credentials as sincere and serious about its intentions of developing friendly relations with Pakistan. A major share to this change in the stand of western countries is attributed to the initiative of Vajpayee in taking a bus journey to Lahore. OFBJP congratulates India's political and military leadership for handling the situation very deftly, swiftly, and achieving major successes in pushing the intruders behind the LOC. Words cannot convey our feelings of our deep gratitude towards the armed forces who have demonstrated highest degree of bravery. In many heroic fights, many soldiers sacrificed their lives for the cause of the Motherland. We most sincerely offer our salutations to these martyrs. OFBJP has been mobilizing its resources and encouraging people to send funds for the families of those soldiers affected on the battle-field. It is a matter of great relief and gratitude towards the God almighty that Prime Minister Vajpayee remained unharmed during his recent visit of the battle front, when in a most cowardice manner Pakistani army tried to harm him by shelling the venue of his meeting in Kargil. OFBJP is fully confident that under the present leadership India will emerge victorious and the evil designs of Pakistan will be foiled totally, and we hope that spirit of Lahore Bus yatra will be revived and both countries will live in peace and harmony.
