Governor of Balochistan Justice Amanullah Yasinzai on Wednesday stated that the Indian government cannot succeed in silencing the voices of people from Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) through imposing a military siege and brute force.
He expressed these views while addressing the protest gathering held at the Balochistan Assembly lawn. Chief Minister Balochistan Jam Kamal, a large number of Senators and Members of the Provincial Assembly representing different political parties were also present.
Earlier, a protest rally led by Senator Manzoor Kakar marking “Youm-e- Istehsal” was taken out from the Metropolitan Corporation Quetta which after passing through various passages turned into a huge protest gathering at the Balochistan Assembly.
The governor said that, “Today, one year of military siege and communication blockade imposed by the fascist government of Modi has been completed. Indians should realise the fact that through use of brute force, they could not succeed their nefarious designs of occupying the disputed land of IIOJK.”
Yasinzai added that, “Despite India’s intense baseless propaganda and media campaign portraying calm and peace in the land of Kashmiris, the international media has highlighted the plight of the suppressed people of the IIOJK depicting a real picture before the entire world.”
He maintained that the purpose of holding “ Youm-e- Istehsal” is to express Pakistan’s all out support to the people of Kashmir for their undeniable right of self-determination guaranteed by the United Nations (UN) resolution and UN charter.
The governor lamented that by violating its own constitution, India has turned the life of innocent Kashmiris miserable. “Abrogation of Article 370 and 35-A has turned the beautiful valley into a jail.”
On the occasion, Balochistan CM Kamal noted that the provincial government will be standing by the people of IIOJK since India’s illegal and unconstitutional step of depriving Kashmiris of their due rights is not acceptable at any cost. “We reiterate our government resolve and wanted to tell the people of Kashmir that we stand by you and will continue playing our practical role for their just right of self-determination.”
The provincial chief executive hailed the new map of Pakistan, adding that the new map disseminates the message of moving forward for suppressed Kashmiri brethren to the people of.
The Parliamentarians of different political parties also stressed the need to raise voice against tyranny, barbarism and atrocities committed by the Indian government. “Even though, every political party in Balochistan has its own manifesto, ideology and vision, yet when it comes to the Kashmir issue, we are all are on one page and are fully intact,” they added.
Expressing their grave concern over the sheer violation of human rights in IIOJK, they called upon the world leaders to step in and put an end to the human rights violation inflicted on Kashmiris.
