Rawalpindi, July 20: The leadership of an alliance consisting of elements, groups, organizations and political parties of Pakistan-Administered-Jammu Kashmir (PAJK) and Occupied Gilgit-Baltistan (OGB) - All Parties National Alliance (APNA), Sabir Kashmiri, M. Iqbal, Shahid Hussain, Arif Shahid, Farooq Niazi, Mirza Nadir Hassan Khan, Prof. MARK Khaleeque, Mehfooz Tahir, Mehmood Baig, Wajid Ali Wajid, Burhan Ullah, Safdar Ali and some others have, in a joint statement, taken very serious view of Dr. Ghulam Nabi Fai's (director Kashmir American Council) detention in USA on the allegation of distributing money to the USA's law-makers illegally. As far as APNA knows, he has been working in the name of Kashmir and for the cause of Kashmir, and has been held in very high esteem. But, they said, as revealed now, he has been working as sponsored by Pakistan for the cause of Pakistan and not for the cause of people of Jammu Kashmir, which is extremely discouraging and disheartening. The leadership of APNA believes that this trend has already harmed the cause of Jammu Kashmir, which is its reunification and independence, in a very big way. Obviously, APNA is well aware that such sponsored elements and forces can not serve any cause of Jammu Kashmir in its true sense in any way, rather they serve their personal ends and defame and damage the real movement in the ultimate analysis.

The leadership of APNA, however, thinks that he is not the only sponsored person indulged in this anti-people business, but so many others, too. The leadership, therefore, appeals to the authorities concerned throughout the world to close such `shops' opened in the name of `Kashmir Centres' etc to cheat the innocent people of Jammu Kashmir.
