Islamabad The Chairperson of Peace and Culture Organisation, Mushaal Hussein Mullick said that the terrorist Indian state had been committing genocide of Kashmiri people in the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) for the last over seven decades.
Mushaal, the wife of jailed Kashmiri Hurriyat leader, Muhammad Yasin Malik on Sunday in a statement said that India was the biggest terrorist state, which was involved in the brutal killing and torture of innocent and unarmed Kashmiri people for their crime to raise their voice against the unlawful subjugation of Indian authorities for last 75 years.
The chairperson vowed that the courage of the brave people of the occupied valley could not be dampened by the brutal and inhuman tactics.
However, the Hurriyat leader lamented the world powers duplicity and apathy towards the world’s worst crisis on the surface of the earth, as the fascist government adopted a ruthless policy of genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Kashmiri people of the occupied valley.
Mushaal said that Kashmiris would never accept the Hindutva regime and would fight for their inalienable right to self-determination till the last drop of their blood.
She appreciated Pakistanis for observing Kashmir Solidarity Day every February 5 for the last 33 years ti convey a strong message to the world that Kashmiris were not alone in their fight for the right to self-determination.
However, she stressed the need for a solution of the decades-long Kashmir dispute.
Mushaal said that the UN was legally and morally bound to secure the implementation of its resolutions on Kashmir, adding that settlement of the lingering dispute as per the Kashmiris’ aspirations was imperative for peace and stability in South Asia, as it could trigger a nuclear war between Pakistan and India.
Meanwhile, Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) Chairman Altaf Hussain Wani has urged the international community to raise its voice against human rights violations in the Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IOJK).
“The silence of the international community has encouraged India to pursue policies that are threatening the very existence of the people of IOJK”, he told this scribe in an interview conducted in connection with the Kashmir Solidarity Day.
“International community has a responsibility to uphold the rights of Kashmiris and it must play its role in holding India accountable for the atrocities against the people of IOJK”, he said.
Kashmir Solidarity Day reminds the international community of its responsibility to play its role in settling the longstanding Kashmir dispute as per the United Nations resolutions and aspirations of the Kashmiri people, he added.
Altaf Wani acknowledged the stance of the Pakistani nation on the Kashmir issue and thanked them for showing solidarity with the Kashmiri people on every national and international platform.
He termed the resolution of the Kashmir dispute instrumental to ensuring peace in south Asia and said India has already lost IOJK through their unlawful occupation and military aggression.
