[edit] Kashmir Freedom Movement (KFM) Aims and Objectives
(KFM) has actively campaigned for the freedom and independence of the State of Jammu & Kashmir from all foreign occupation since 1972. It has been successful in mobilising and activating people of Jammu Kashmir to know their culture, history and to understand the status of their struggle for freedom and its position in today’s world.[citation needed]
Members of the Kashmir Freedom Movement (KFM) have been quoted as saying, “To oppress and do injustice to others is sin but to accept the life of oppression and injustice is an even greater sin.”[citation needed]
Members of KFM and citizens of J&K find the continued forced occupation of Kashmir totally unacceptable. They seek to regain their sovereignty and independence and re-establish their status as a nation state in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations (U.N) so that they can live in peace and harmony within the community of nations. The KFM believes that Jammu Kashmir belongs to all who live in it without distinction of colour, caste, creed, region or religion, and that it is not a territorial dispute between India and Pakistan but is a question of the right of self-determination of 14 million people of the State.
[edit] Goals of the Kashmir Freedom Movement
- India and Pakistan should withdraw all their Military, Para-military, and other forces from Jammu Kashmir simultaneously
- All human rights violations at the hands of armed forces and their backed militants must end now.
- The freedom of speech and movement of civilians, political and humanitarian’s workers through out Jammu Kashmir without any restriction should be allowed with immediate effect.
- United Nations should facilitate in holding free and fair elections for a representative Council comprising of members from all faiths, regions and political ideals. This council will represent and negotiate on the final settlement of Jammu Kashmir dispute with India and Pakistan.
- After a mutual agreed time frame of all concerned a free and fair plebiscite should be held through which Kashmiris should be allowed to determine their future by exercising their universally recognized unconditional Right of self-determination.
