World reluctant to sacrifice business with India for Kashmir: Analyst
The international community has deliberately turned a blind eye to the suffering of Kashmiris and unrestrained human rights violations by Indian armed forces, a political analyst says.
World countries don't want to lose an important business partner like India, Muzzammil Ayyub Thakur, the executive director of Kashmir Institute of International Affairs from Islamabad, told Press TV’s "The Debate" program on Saturday night.
"India is one of the largest economies of the world and it is natural for the international community not want to disrupt an economic power for the sake of few thousand people in Kashmir," he said.
Thakur criticized the international media and governments for not focusing on Kashmir.
"Do we not bleed? Do we not get killed? The issue is about the global politics, the global social economics. It is greater than what we see in terms of death and destruction,” he said.
Jahangir Mohammad, the other guest on the program with the Center for Muslims Affairs, said that the only solution to Kashmir’s old crisis is to allow its inhabitants to decide their own future in a democratic way.
“But this is not going to happen primarily because India is too big an economic power who everybody wants to deal with it,” he said.
He also criticized the United Nations for dragging its feet on solving problems related to Muslims in every part of the world including Kashmir.
"If this type of thing had happened to any other non-Muslim community, as it was the case with Christians in Sudan, they would have gotten their independence," he said.
