AJK president seeks Fazl’s help to stop atrocities in IIOJK

Masood Khan appeals JUI-F chief to approach Indian religious leaders to halt brutalities in occupied valley

MUZAFFARABAD:

Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) President Sardar Masood Khan has sought JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman’s help to stop bloodshed and atrocities in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).

Fazl, who had also remained a chairman of parliamentary committee on Kashmir, had called on the AJK president in Muzaffarabad on Monday.

The issues including Indian forces’ brutalities, systematic ethnic cleansing of Kashmiri people, attempts to change demography of IIOJK by Narendra Modi-led government were discussed during the meeting.

President Masood appealed Fazl to approach the leadership of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Hind and other religious leaders in India to seek their support for the prevention of bloodshed and cessation of heinous crimes against humanity in the occupied valley.

The AJK president said that besides the carnage of defenceless and innocent civilians in IIOJK, Indian rulers are implementing their evil agenda to change demography of the state, carrying out ethnic cleansing and deprivation of the people of Kashmir from their livelihood and ruining their economy.

India, he said, was fast implementing its plan to weaken IIOJK’s Muslims economically by awarding contracts of construction works to non-state Indian Hindu citizens.

“What is happening at present will not remain restricted to Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, but 200 million Muslims and other minorities of India will also suffer”, he added.

President Khan asserted that the creation of a Zionist state in Palestine and settling of Jews from across the globe on the Palestinian territory under Balfour Declaration had taken 30 long years, but India's fascist government is poised to settle non-state Hindus subjects in occupied Kashmir within two years to change the demography of the region.

Domicile certificates of Kashmir have been issued to more than 1.8 non-Kashmiri Hindus during the last three months, and if the exercise continued for next two years, settlement of more than six million non-state Indian people will altogether change the demography of occupied Kashmir, he warned.

The AJK president said that unanimous support of all national political parties of Pakistan is required to foil the Indian designs.
