Srinagar: Turkey must realise that if it follows the footsteps of Pakistan it will have to bear the same consequences as Pakistan faced. Pakistan has been isolated in the entire world because of its support and creating terror infrastructure to destroy the world peace. 

Ankara should not support those who want Kashmiris to die for them. Kashmiris don’t want to fight wars of others and die for their interests.  

A report was published recently in a prominent national daily about Turkey’s interference into Indian affairs. It reported that according to Inspector General of Police, Pakistan is supplying lightweight and high-precision Turkey-made Canik TP9 pistols to terrorist outfits in J&K for “increased accuracy” in attacks on civilians and off-duty security personnel.

Quoting IGP the media report further added that “The use of Canik pistols by terrorists suggests Pakistan is arranging supply of sophisticated weapons from Turkey and smuggling them into the Valley. These are easy to carry and convenient to hide while trawling even crowded markets for targets. Not only this but it is believed that Turkey is sheltering Kashmiri separatists after the revocation of that “Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir.

Deceased Hurriyat’s Ali Shah Geelani’s daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren have moved to Turkey fearing action from the law enforcement agencies of the country.

It is believed that Pakistan wants Turkey to interfere into the internal affairs of India as it suits its larger ambitions against Saudi Arabia and Philia Forum countries. Turkey’s President Tayyip Erdogan’s government is supporting Pakistan’s stances on Kashmir to challenge Saudi Arabia’s dominance in the Islamic countries. 

Pakistan has remained under different sanctions imposed on it since its creation as under the pretext of slogan “Islam is in danger” it has ruined its country and its citizens.  Pakistani citizens are not respected anywhere in the world because of actions it has conducted to destabilize world peace. Turkey will meet the same fate if it acts upon the instructions of Pakistan. 

Media reports state that. The Turkish intelligence agency MIT and Pakistan’s ISI have teamed up to encourage Kashmir’s radical youth living in Arab countries to shift base to Istanbul and Ankara. The embassy of Pakistan is said to have organised an event to commemorate Kashmir Solidarity Day in Ankara this year.

Kashmiri society should remain cautious and keep vigil on the elements having nefarious designs to keep the situation in Kashmir on the boil. 

Nowadays Kashmir is witnessing huge tourism influx from across the globe and country. Unprecedented development is taking place in Kashmir and a new dawn has started providing endless opportunities to Kashmiri people to grow. Much needed support and helping hand is being provided by the Government of India towards Kashmiris.

Education sector is in full swing and youth are touching the new heights to showcase their worth. All is going well in Kashmir. Peace, development, communal harmony and brotherhood is what Kashmir is going through today. As Kashmiris, we want to make it clear that Ankara should not provide support to those who want Kashmiris to die for them. Kashmiris don’t want to fight wars of others and die for their interests.
