Tehreek-e-Kashmir (TeK) UK chapter President Raja Fahim Kayani has said that it's just a matter of time before the Narendra Modi-led government is held accountable for its war crimes in Indian Illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) and atrocities being committed against minorities.
“India may yet try to portray herself as so-called democratic nation because of its vast human resource and soft power spread across the globe but we are witnessing as how this mask is being taken down by people of conscience,” said the Kashmiri leader.
The TeK president was referring to the warning recently issued by Genocide Watch President Gregory Stanton that something similar to the inhumane Rwandan genocide could happen in India if stern action was not taken by the government of India.
“India has until now succeeded in hiding its real basis as a nation which is based on hate for Muslims and all those non-Hindus who seek to live according to their own faith,” said Kayani.
He said Indian academics, think-tanks and media persons have been propagating so-called secular and democratic face of the country.

“The truth is that since 1947, one or the other anti-Muslim pogrom has happened in India but because of this vast propaganda machinery of India, based in every capital, India has been able to sidestep such important incidents that violate human rights and international law,” Kayani said.
He said the violation of UN resolutions on Kashmir and denial of right to self-determination to people of IIOJK by India is “biggest violation” by any international standard.
“But, why is New Delhi being given soft passage by world powers is because India is a lynchpin of the United States against China else India is violating all norms of civility and human rights every day,” said the TeK leader.
The Kashmiri leader also lauded UK-based Stoke White and Pakistan-based Legal Forum for Kashmir for launching a lawsuit against the Indian home minister and the Indian military chief.
“It is about time and efforts that Indian state and its officials will be arrested and held accountable for occupying IIOJK and persecuting its innocent people,” Kayani said.
"The UK government must take notice of such crimes, as evidence filed by the law firms show, and take immediate action to put Indian embassy on notice and arrest any Indian official involved in the war crimes," Kayani added.
