Former Union Minister Prof Saif Ud Din Soz said on Tuesday contested the remarks of Vice President Vankaiah Naidu on Kashmir saying that Kashmiris have right to say whatever they to say on Kashmir.
In a statement issued to Kashmir Television Network (KTN) on Tuesday Soz said “I think Vice President Venkaiah Naidu will concede our right to say something on Kashmir.If that right is granted, then we would like to say that it was wrong on the part of Govt. of India to abrogate Article 370 of the Constitution of India unilaterally. That action on the part of Govt. of India was unconstitutional”.
Stating that “the fact is well known to those who care to read the Constitution of India carefully, Article 370 was incorporated in the Constitution of India, when a constitutional relationship was being worked out between J&K State and the Union of India”, Sox in his statement said “the simple fact is that Govt. of India had no right to abrogate Article 370 unilaterally.
Saying that” people of the Jammu and Kashmir State have every right to raise their voice against the abrogation of Article 370 of the Constitution of India. We shall, therefore, continue to raise our voice!”, Soz further said ” Venkaiah Naidu would weigh in his mind whether he was entitled to say that nobody has any right to say anything on Kashmir.”
رمضان المبارک ہجری تقویم کے اعتبار سے نواں مہینہ ہے اسلام میں اس مہینے کو بڑی اہمیت ہے اللہ تعالی نے فرمایا:رمضان کا مہینہ وہ ہے جس میں قرآن مجید نازل کیا گیا اس کا وصف یہ ہے کہ وہ لوگوں کے لئے ہدایت اور واضح الدلالہ ہے(البقرہ)
رمضان کا تعارفی خطبہ
آپ علیہ السلام نے منبر پر تشریف لا کر فرمایا: اے لوگو! تم پر ایک عظیم اور مبارک مہینہ سایہ فگن ہونے والا ہے،ایسا مہینہ ہے جس میں ایک ایسی رات ہے جو ایک ہزار مہینوں سے بڑھ کر ہے اللّہ نے اس مہینے کے دنوں کا روزہ فرض اور راتوں کے عبادت نفل قرار دی ہے، جو آدمی اس مہینے میں ایک نیک عمل کے ذریعے قربِ خداوندی کا طالب ہو وہ ایسا ہے جیسے دیگر مہینوں میں فرض عمل کرے اور جو آدمی کوئی فرض بجا لائے وہ ایسا ہے جیسے دیگر مہینوں میں ستر فرض ادا کرے، اور حضور نے فرمایا یہ صبر کا مہینہ ہے اور صبر کا بدلہ جنت ہے یہ لوگوں کے ساتھ حسنِ سلوک و خیرخواہی کا مہینہ ہے اس مہینے میں مومن کا رزق بڑھا دیا جاتا ہے، جو آدمی اس مبارک مہینے میں کسی روزہ دار کو افطار کرائے اس کے گناہ معاف کر دیئے جاتے ہیں اسے جہنم سے آزادی کا پروانہ مل جاتا ہے اور روزہ دار کے ثواب میں کمی کئے بغیر افطار کرانے والے کو بھی اس کے بقدر اجر سے نوازا جاتا ہے۔ حضور علیہ السلام کی یہ بات سن کر صحابہ نے عرض کیا اللہ کے رسول ہم میں سے ہر آدمی اپنے اندر اتنی وسعت نہیں رہ پاتا کہ وہ دوسرے کو افطار کرائے اور اس کے ثواب سے کامیابی حاصل کرے اس سوال پر رحمتِ عالم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے اپنے جان نثاروں کو ایسا جواب دیا جس سے ان کی مایوسی خوشیوں میں بدل گئی آپ علیہ السلام نے فرمایا کہ اللہ تعالی یہ انعام ہر شخص پر فرماتے ہیں جو کسی بھی روزے دار کو ایک گھونٹ دودھ، ایک عدد کھجور، حتی کہ ایک گھونٹ پانی پینا کر بھی افطار کرا دے ہاں جو شخص روزے دار کو پیٹ بھر کھلائے تو اللہ رب العزت اسے قیامت کے دن میرے حوضِ کوثر سے ایسا پانی پلائیں گے جس کے بعد کبھی پیاس نہ لگے گی تا آن کہ وہ جنت میں داخل جنت میں ہمیشہ کے لئے داخل ہو جائے گا۔ پھر آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا یہ ایسا مہینہ ہے جس کا پہلا عشرہ رحمت، دوسرا عشرہ مغفرت اور آخری عشرہ جہنم سے آزادی کا ہے جو آدمی اس مہینے میں اپنے غلام کے بوجھ کو ہلکا کردے تواللہ جل شانہ اس مغفرت فرماتے ہیں اور آگ سے آزادی دیتے ہیں۔ اے لوگو! اس مہینے میں چار چیزوں کی کثرت رکھا کرو (١)کلمہ طیبہ لا الہ الاللہ (٢)استغفار (٣) جنت کی طلب (٤)آگ سے پناہ۔(مشکوۃ)
امتِ مسلمہ پر پانچ خصوصی عنایتیں
حضور صلی علیہ وسلم نے یہ بھی فرمایا کہ میری امت پر پانچ خصوصی عنایتیں اللہ رب العزت نے فرمائی ہیں (١)روزہ دار کے منہ کی بو اللہ کے نزدیک مشک سے زیادہ پسندیدہ ہے (٢)ان کے لیے سمندر کی مچھلیاں افطار کے وقت تک استغفار کرتی رہتی ہیں(٣) اور اللہ تعالی ہر روز اپنی جنت کو آراستہ کر کے فرماتے ہیں کہ عنقریب میرے نیک بندے دنیا کی مشقت اپنے اوپر سے پھینک کر تیری طرف آئیں گے(٤) اور سرکش شیطان رمضان میں قید کر دئیے جاتے ہیں جس کی وجہ سے وہ رمضان کے زمانے میں ان برائیوں تک نہیں پہنچتے جن برائیوں کی طرف غیرِ رمضان میں پہنچ جاتے ہیں(٥) رمضان کی آخری رات میں ان کے لیے مغفرت کا فیصلہ کیا جاتا ہے آپ علیہ السلام سے پوچھا گیا کیا یہ مغفرت شبِ مقدر میں ہوتی ہے؟ آپ نے فرمایا نہیں! بلکہ دستور یہ ہے کہ کام ختم ہونے پر مزدور کو پوری اجرت سے نوازا جاتا ہے۔(مسند احمد.الترغیب)
رمضان میں گناہوں کی بخشش
حضور نے فرمایا (من صام رمضان ایمانا واحتسابا غفر لہ ماتقدم من ذنبہ الخ) جو شخص رمضان کا روزہ ایمان اور طلبِ ثواب کی نیت سے رکھے اس کے پچھلے گناہ معاف کر دیئے جاتے ہیں اور جو آدمی ایمان اور اخلاص کے ساتھ رمضان میں عبادت کرے اس کے گزشتہ معاصی معاف کر دیئے جاتے ہیں اسی طرح جو آدمی شب قدر میں ایمان اور احتساب کے ساتھ مشغولِ عبادت رہے اس کے بھی پچھلے گناہ معاف کر دیئے جاتے ہیں(بخاری و مسلم)
رمضان المبارک میں خیر کی توفیق
حضور صلی علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا جب رمضان کی پہلی رات ہوتی ہے تو شیاطین اور سرکش جنات قید کر دیے جاتے ہیں اور جہنم کے سب دروازے بند کر دئیے جاتے ہیں ان میں سے کوئی بھی دروازہ نہیں کھولا جاتا اور جنت کے سب دروازے کھول دیے جاتے ہیں ان میں سے کوئی دروازہ بند نہیں کیا جاتا اور ایک آواز لگانے والا آواز دیتا ہے کہ اے خیر کے طلبگار! آگے بڑھ اور اے برائی کا ارادہ کرنے والے پیچھے ہٹ،اور اللہ تعالی کے لیے بہت سے لوگ جہنم سے آزاد ہوتے ہیں اور یہ معاملہ ہر رات میں ہوتا رہتا ہے(ترمذی)
رمضان کے استقبال میں جنت کی سجاوٹ
رمضان کے استقبال میں حضور نے فرمائیے جنت کو شروع سال سے اگلے سال تک سجایا جاتا ہے پھر جب رمضان کا پہلا دن ہوتا ہے تو ایک مخصوص ہوا عرش خداوندی کے نیچے سے جنت کے درختوں سے گزرتی ہوئی پتوں سے گزرتی ہوئی خوبصورت آنکھوں والی حوروں تک پہنچتی ہے تو وہ عرض کرتی ہیں اے پروردگار! ہمارے لئے اپنے بندوں میں سے ایسے جوڑے منتخب فرما جن سے ہماری آنکھوں کو ٹھنڈک نصیب ہوں اور ان کو ہمارے ذریعہ سے آنکھوں کا چین نصیب ہو(مشکوۃ)
رمضان میں لاکھوں افراد کی جہنم سے خلاصی
حضور اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ اللہ تعالی رمضان المبارک کی ہر رات میں چھ لاکھ لوگوں کو جہنم سے آزاد فرماتے ہیں اور جب آخری رات ہوتی ہے تو گزشتہ آزاد شدہ لوگوں کے بقدر لوگ آزاد کئے جاتے ہیں(شعب الایمان للبیہقی)
رمضان کے روزہ کی تلافی ممکن نہیں
حضور نے فرمایا جو شخص رمضان کے دن کا روزہ بغیر کسی عذر اور بیماری کے چھوڑ دے تو زمانے بھر کا روزہ رکھنا بھی اس کی تلافی نہیں کر سکتا اگرچہ وہ روزہ رکھتا ہے۔(ترمذی) اس حدیث سے واضح ہوا کہ رمضان المبارک کا ایک ایک لمحہ اس قدر قیمتی اور انمول ہے کہ اس کی تلافی پوری زندگی کی عبادت سے بھی نہیں ہوسکتی اس کے باوجود جو شخص ماہ رمضان کے روزے سے محروم رہے اس سے بڑا محروم اور کون ہو سکتا ہے۔ اللّہ ہم سب کو عمل کرنے کی توفیق عطا فرمائے۔امین

Says don’t accept Aug 05 decision that ended accession between J&K, Union of India, want J&K to become model of peace in South Asia, PAGD still intact, centre not in favour of elections in J&K as it wants to rule it from Delhi

SRINAGAR APRIL 12 :
Former chief minister and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president, Mehbooba Mufti on Monday said that the accession between J&K and Union of India has been trashed in 2019 by the BJP led regime at the Centre. She also appealed to youth in the Valley to stay away from gun culture and fight for their rights in democratic way.
Addressing a gathering during membership drive here in Srinagar, Mehbooba as per the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) said that the decision taken by the central government on August 05, 2019 is not acceptable and the rights and identity snatched from the people here must be restored. “Those who have turned Jammu and Kashmir into a jail must bear in mind that we don’t accept the decision taken by the government. We will fight for our rights till our last breath. Even if a journalist speaks anything, he is being called and subsequently booked under UAPA,” she said.
“It is not Pakistan but India who had given us the special status. I don’t understand why BJP is getting angry why I am asking my country to restore the identity and special status of Jammu and Kashmir. The government has put an end to the agreement between J&K and Union of India, but still it is the people of J&K who are holding the hand of India. And when we raise any objection, we are being asked to stay calm,” she said, adding that the situation in Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh is very critical.
She added that PDP has always played a role in ensuring peace in Jammu and Kashmir, saying that the party’s aim is to make J&K a bridge for peace in South Asia and want J&K to become a model of peace in South Asia. “As SAARC summit is set to be held in Pakistan, we hope our Prime Minister will go there as there is no other way besides dialogue to resolve the issues,” she added.
Talking to media persons on the sidelines of the function, Mehbooba said that any movement with guns is bound to fail, saying that this is why she has been appealing to the Kashmiri youth not to lose their lives due to bullets. “If we want to resolve the Kashmir issue, we need to follow democratic way and force the twin neighboring countries including India and Pakistan to hold dialogue,” she said.
“Some people want Kashmiri youth to pick up arms to show the world that they (Kashmiris) are terrorists and there are no issues with them, thus we need to follow democratic means to resolve our issues,” she said.
Asked about silence in PAGD, Mehbooba as per KNO Correspondent said that the conglomerate has a great role to play, saying that PAGD is still intact. “If PAGD is not there then who will talk about the issues of J&K people. Dr Farooq Abdullah’s health condition was not good, thus no meeting was held so far,” she said.
About the delimitation process in J&K, Mehbooba said that the central government will always try to keep the power of J&K into their hands so that they can take any decision vis-à-vis UT directly from Delhi. She said the central government wants to execute their decisions without the interference of local government here, and thus don’t want elections to be conducted soon—(KNO)
