PESHAWAR
\nBreaking all records of war crimes and human rights abuses, the Indian occupied forces have unleashed terrorism, gender violence and collective punishment as a weapon of war against the oppressed Kashmiris in a bid to suppress their legitimate freedom movement in the Indian Illegally Occupied Jummu and Kashmir (IIOJ&K).
\nAfter illegally revoking the special status of the IIOJ&K on August 5, 2019, the fascist Modi government has broken all records of humans rights\u2019 violations, terrorism, war crimes and deprived Kashmiris from all kinds of liberties including freedom of speech, media, internet, jobs, land and properties in the held Kashmir that was virtually turned into a military jail by nearly 900,000 occupied forces with no regards for humans rights, international laws and UN charter.
\nMuhammad Hussain Khateeb, Member All Parties Hurriyat Conference (Gillani Group) told APP that the September 2021\u2019s Pakistani dossier has badly exposed India\u2019s involvement in the war crimes, human rights abuses, genocide and torture of innocent Kashmiris in the held valley.
\nSince 1989, he said over 96,000 cases of extra judicial killings, 162,000 cases of arbitrary arrests and torture, 25,000 pellet guns injuries, 11,250 women raped, 23,000 women widowed and over 108,000 children orphaned by the Indian army.
\nHe said about 8,652 unmarked graves has been identified in 89 villages of six districts in the occupied valley and bodies of 37 Kashmiris burnt alive by Indian forces were beyond recognition.
\nThe oppressed Kashmiris had been subjected to inhuman torture by Indian occupation forces, which include stripping naked, beatings with iron rods, heavy roller treatment, electrocution, hanging from ceiling, burning of the body with iron rods, solitary confinement, sleep deprivation, sexualized torture including rape, molestation and sodomy.
\nMushtaq Shah, Vice Chairman, Jummu and Kashmir Peoples League told APP that Indians occupying forces were using snipers and cluster ammunitions besides children and women as human shields during encounters and innocent Kashmiris to sleep at military camps forcing them to dig out minefields and tying youth on military jeeps, which has testified Modi government\u2019s involvement in war crimes and genocide of the Kashmiris.
\nThe fascists Modi government\u2019s illegal and unconstitutional acts of August 5, 2019 has exposed his deep-rooted conspiracy to rob Kashmiris of their history, language and ethno-cultural identity.
\n\u201cThe butcher of Indian Gujrat\u2019 under a nefarious plan had tried to take away from Kashmiris their identity, history, language and culture,\u201d Mushtaq said.
\nHe said all the ethno-religious communities living in occupied Kashmir including Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists and others had now realized how India was snatching away from Kashmiris their lands and reducing them to second class citizens.
\nHe said the new land lease rules introduced in IIOJ&K allowing non-Kashmiris to purchase agricultural land for commercial and other non-agricultural purposes was another manifestation of India\u2019s colonial-settler mindset.
\nThe Indian Army has been given sweeping powers to take possession of agricultural land and residential areas in any part of IIOJK, after declaring them as \u201cstrategic\u201d. Reportedly over 430,000 Kanals of land are already under illegal possession of the Indian military and paramilitary forces.
\nMushtaq said Indian forces even didn\u2019t allow mass ritual and funeral of great Kashmiri leader, Syed Ali Gillani and has forcefully snatched his body from the bereaved family and buried him at night, which was highly condemnable.
\nSimilarly, great hurriat leader, Muhammad Yasin Malik was jailed for life in a fake case to silence his strong voice for Kashmirs freedom while great freedom fighter Burhan Wani was killed in a fake encounter by the Indian occupation forces.
\n\u2018The Indian Govt had provided about six million illegal domicile certificates of IIOJK to Hindus in a bid to bring about demographic change there.\u201d
\nHe said the gruesome violation of human rights including forced disappearance of over 8,000 innocent Kashmiris, 8,652 unmarked mass graves and imposition of longest curfew on some 10 million unarmed Kashmiris have exposed the involvement of Indian forces in war crimes and state terrorism. He said India was reluctant to carry out a forensic investigation of the unmarked mass graves in IIOJ&K and did not allow independent observers for its spot verification.
\nHe said the burning of mosques, houses and shops belonging to Muslims at BJP-led Tripura state by Hindutvta groups of RSS, VHP and Bajrang Dal last year had exposed Modi\u2019s tyranny against minorities.
\nHe said mosques in Krishnagar, Dharmangar, Panisagar, Chandrapure were vandalized by the saffron-wearing youth last year in the planned attacks on the Muslims population.
\nManzoorul Haq, former Ambassador told APP that India landed its troops in Srinagar on October 26, 1947 with sinister designs to annex the Muslim-majority Kashmir with New Delhi in sheer violation of the sub-continent\u2019s partition formula, UN Charter and Geneva Convention.
\nOn April 21, 1948, he said the UN Security Council had adopted an important resolution on Kashmir. The basic formula for settlement of the issue was incorporated in the resolutions of the UN Commission for India and Pakistan (UNCIP) adopted on August 13, 1948 and January 5, 1949.
\nAmbasaaor Manzoor said these were not the routine resolutions as their provisions were negotiated in detail by the UN Commission with India and Pakistan after getting the consent of both the governments, constituting a binding and solemn international agreement about the settlement of the Kashmir dispute.
\nThe illegal occupation of Kashmir valley by India contravened multiple articles of the 30 fundamental human rights of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) drafted by representatives from all the regions of the world including India on December 10, 1948 and was subsequently adopted by the United Nations General Assembly.
\n\u201cThis declaration was applied to all the signatory members of the UN including India and restrained them from abuse, exploitation, maltreatment and all kinds of violence besides violation of any fundamental rights protected in UDHR,\u201d he said.
\nHe said India went against several passed UN Security Council\u2019s resolutions by revoking the IIOJK\u2019s special status.
\nThe naferous designs of the Indian fascist Government to transform Kashmiris into a disempowered minority in their own land has been exposed with fresh delimitation of electoral constituencies, issuance of millions of domicile certificates to non-Kashmiris, and addition of hundreds of thousands of non-Kashmiris in the voters lists.
\nHe urged international community including world powers to press Modi Govt to immediately go back to pre August 5, 2019 status of IIOJK and give right of self determination to the oppressed Kashmiris like that of East Taimour.
\nHe said international community should look beyond trade and business interests and step forward with collective action to stop genocide of oppressed Kashmiris.
\nHe deplored the UNSC members\u2019 apathy towards addressal of Kashmir dispute, which was a flashpoint between two nuclear armed neighboring countries.
\nAmbassador Manzoor said the road to peace in South Asia was passing through Kashmir and another war on this lingering issue would prove disastrous for the entire region and its negative repercussions would go beyond borders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
