Jammu Kashmir National Students Federation Vows to Continue Struggle Against Karachi Agreement

Paniola, Azad Jammu and Kashmir (PaJK): The Jammu Kashmir National Students Federation (JKNSF) held a significant meeting today in Paniola, reaffirming its long-standing demand for the annulment of the controversial Karachi Agreement. The gathering highlighted student activism, regional political grievances, and calls for justice in Kashmir, resonating with human rights concerns globally.

Senior leaders attending the meeting included JKNSF Publicity Board Chairman Zargham Jameel, District Poonch Chairman Hassan Sani, Central Committee Member Abdullah bin Masood, and other regional representatives. The meeting focused on the 28th April anniversary of the Karachi Agreement — a 1949 accord widely criticized for excluding the Kashmiri people’s participation in decisions affecting their future.

“The National Students Federation will continue its struggle until the Karachi Agreement is formally revoked,” declared Zargham Jameel during the session.

Demand for Immediate Arrests in JKNSF President’s Assault Case

Participants also strongly demanded the immediate arrest of those responsible for the assault on JKNSF Central President Khawaja Mujtaba Bande. Accusing state authorities and local police of protecting the perpetrators, the Federation warned of intensified protests if justice is delayed.

“The state’s complicity must end. We demand immediate action and arrests,” emphasized Hassan Sani, who chaired the meeting.

Organizational Expansion Across Constituency 5

Strategic organizational growth was another major focus. A special committee, headed by Hassan Sani, was established to initiate JKNSF’s presence at ward levels and across educational institutions within Constituency 5. The plan aims to empower youth and strengthen grassroots political mobilization.

Condemnation of Student Arrests in Indian-Administered Kashmir

The JKNSF also condemned the recent wave of arrests and reported mistreatment of students in Indian-administered Kashmir. The Federation expressed solidarity with detained students and called on international human rights organizations to intervene.

“Student activism is not a crime. We stand with the students who are facing violence and arbitrary detention,” said Abdullah bin Masood.

A Renewed Call for Justice and Self-Determination

Concluding the meeting, participants pledged to continue their peaceful struggle under the banner of “Knowledge, Struggle, Victory,” a motto symbolizing their commitment to education, activism, and human rights in Kashmir.

The JKNSF’s renewed energy and activism come at a time of growing international attention on human rights issues in both Indian and Pakistan-administered Kashmir, signaling a potential surge in youth-led political movements across the region.
