Every year, 5th February is observed as Kashmir Solidarity Day all over the country including KP to express solidarity with the brave, committed and innocent Kashmiris of IIOJK, who continued their legitimate peaceful struggle for right to self-determination as promised to them through various resolutions passed by the UN Security Council.
“Road to peace in South Asia is passing through Kashmir. Lasting peace in the region is not possible unless resolution of the core issue of Kashmir as per wishes and aspirations of Kashmiris,” said former Chairman, International Relations Department at University of Peshawar while talking to APP.
From over seven decades, he said India had been openly disregarding International laws and UN Security Council’s resolutions and committed sheer human rights violation in the illegally occupied valley, adding Indian occupied forces had broken all records of atrocities and unleashed brutalities against innocent Kashmiris in a bid to press their legitimate freedom struggle but could not succeeded in their nefarious designs.
He said that Kashmiris are the worst victims of India’s state terrorism, oppression and lockdowns after Modi regimes violated UN Security Council resolutions after revoking the special status of IIOJK on August 5, 2019.
“Kashmiris had faced India’s long oppression, state terrorism and unending cruelties with immense courage and steadfastness. We demand UN to take serious notice of human rights abuses in the IIOJK and give right of self determination to Kashmiris of IIOJK.”
He said India had turned the occupied territory into world largest prison where oppressed Kashmiris were confined to their homes and deprived of all human rights including freedom of want, speech and liberties.
By abolishing the special status of IIOJK, he said India’s nefarious designs regarding promoting Hindu ideology, hatred against Muslims and settling Hindus in IIOJK stand exposed. He said Modi Govt illegal actions of August 5, 2019 are tantamount to deprive Kashmiris of their properties, citizenships and converted them into minority.
Dr Ejaz said the communication blackout and terror unleashed by Indian occupied forces against oppressed Kashmiris including women and children had humiliated democratic and human rights traditions.”
