Dr. Ghulam Nabi Fai, Chairman, World Forum for Peace & Justice aired his fears that Narendra Modi, the prime minister of India may not tell the following facts to the heads of state and government, attending the 79the session of the United Nations General Assembly which begins on September 10, 2024; that i). Kashmir is at the brink of genocide; ii). Kashmir has become the hell for its people; iii). India has stationed more than 900,000 of its military and paramilitary forces in the Valley of Kashmir, one for every eight adult Kashmiris: iv). News media in Kashmir is at the brink of extinction; v). There are more than 12,000 half widows in Kashmir. They are half widows because they do not know whether their husbands are dead or alive.
Dr. Fai added that the people of Kashmir simply demand an end to the military occupation of their land by India. They demand what they have been pledged by both India and Pakistan and guaranteed by the Security Council, with the unequivocal endorsement of the United States – demilitarization of Kashmir from both sides of the ceasefire line and a free vote organized impartially.
