HYDERABAD (Sind): Addressing a largely attended meeting here this evening [Sept 18], Khan Abdul Qayyum Khan, Premier of NWFP, declared that Pakistan would not be complete without Kashmir and it was the duty of every Pakistani to be prepared for it. “We should always be in readiness to meet the danger to our independence which does exist,” he said and reminded his audience of the Quaid-i-Azam’s inspiring message of Faith, Unity and Discipline.

Khan Abdul Qayyum Khan said that the Pathans in the Frontier Province were not going to tolerate any bungling in Kashmir. “They are full of zeal … and are determined to continue the Kashmir jehad to a successful end,” he declared.

Referring to Afghanistan, the Frontier Premier assured that the Afghans would never come to blows with their Muslim brethren in Pakistan. The … hostile mood of the present ruling clique in Afghanistan was merely India’s propaganda stunt, which was bound to fail. … Regarding Kashmir the NWFP Premier said that the Indian claim over Kashmir was nothing but a threat to the peace of Asia and perhaps to the peace of the entire world. — News agencies
