Junagarh should be merged with Pakistan, says Nawab Khanji
2016-11-28
[DAWN] ISLAMABAD: The occupation of Junagarh by India violated Article 26 of the Vienna Convention on Law of Treaties and the state should be merged with Pakistain.
They really think this will work? How quaint.
This was stated by the nawab of Junagarh, Muhammad Jahangir Khanji, on Sunday during a meeting with Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
Governor Muhammad Khan Achakzai. Sultan Muhammad Ali, founder of the Moslem Institute, was also present on the occasion.

Junagarh was a princely state of pre-partition India and at the time of partition over 550 states were given the choice to join either Pakistain or India. The nawab of Junagarh decided to join Pakistain.

But because the state was surrounded by Indian land, with the only outlet to the Arabian Sea, India occupied it and the nawab had to move to Bloody Karachi
...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous...
"The Junagarh state possesses the law of accession with Pakistain [which] meets all the criteria of accession under the Vienna Convention on Law of Treaties," said Nawab Khanji.

"To prove that the Junagarh state is a part of Pakistain, this accession document is important [because it is] strong and lawful evidence. The instrument of accession is an international agreement, concluded between states, in written form, governed by international law, in a single instrument," he said.

The issue of Junagarh would remain alive legally as long as the instrument of accession was intact, the nawab said.
