Anti-India Talk at Kansas State University by Gulam Nabi Fai Organised by PAKISTAN STUDENTS ASSOCIATION

Mr. Shankara Ramanan (President of India Student Association isa@ksu.edu ) : Please send more details on this

Dear Editor,

This is in regard with the talk from Dr.
Ghulam Nabi Fai, titled "Kashimir and UN", sponsored
by Pakistan Student Association at Kansas State
University, Manhattan, Kansas, USA.

News about this event and invitation came from the
Kansas State University International Student Center.
I was curious to attend it as it intrigued me why some
other country is sponsoring a talk related to a state
of India.
The talk has drawn crowds from both the
Indian and Pakistani community along with few
Americans. From the start of the talk, Dr. Ghulam made
statements hurting feelings of Indians and
Indo-Americans. He quoted several statements about
Kashmir and talked bad about Indian military and its
operations in Kashmir.

Now a little about Dr. Ghulam Nabi Fai. He is
an expatriate of India, who left Kashmir some 24 years
ago. He has been charged by CBI(Criminal Bureau of
Investigation of India), for funding many terrorist
organizations, outfits in training and politicians who
have relationships with terrorists.

This activist has been charged by CBI to fund
"Hizb-ul-Mujaheddin" through "Jamaat-e-Islami". United
States of America has already recognized these
organizations as terrorist organizations.

"By 1998, Indian officials were becoming increasingly
aware of the sheer scale of such funds transfers - as
well as of official Pakistani complicity in them. In
that year the Jammu and Kashmir Police discovered that
the Pakistan Embassy in Saudi Arabia had been passing
money to the Hizb-ul-Mujaheddin through
Jamaat-e-Islami affiliated charities like the Kashmir
Medicare Trust and the Muslim Welfare Society.
Mohammad Nazir, an ethnic Kashmiri employed in the
Pakistan Embassy in Jeddah moved the funds through a
Dubai-based businessman of Kashmiri origin, Mohammad
Shafi Mir. The Hizb also regularly received funds
gathered in the United States and United Kingdom by
activists like Ayub Thakur and Ghulam Nabi Fai" -

I wanted to bring to your attention about such
activities happening on-campus in American
Universities and these talks sponsored by Pakistani
Student Associations surprises me more.

You can look for the happening of this event on the
Pakistani Student Association Webpage at

I am sure that the goal of an International
Organization like Pakistan Student Association and
Indian Student Association, is to display their
culture to the students from different nationalities
on campus and not to talk about any political issues.

I request you to publish an article about this event
and make other people and student organizations aware
about such talks

Thank you,
Indian

You are requested to contact Mr. Shankara Ramanan, the
president of India Student Association at isa@ksu.edu.
He will be official person to let you know the truth.
