PESHAWAR
\nEvery year; the people of Kashmir on both sides of the Line of Control (LoC) and in world observe October 27 as black day as 77 years ago on this day, India without any legal justification, had forcibly invaded the Muslims dominated state of Jummu and Kashmir in share violation of Indo-Pak partition plan by depriving its people of all rights, liberties and independence.
\nBreaking all records of persistent human rights abuses, extra judicial killings and state terrorism in IIOJ&K, the India\u2019s apartheid regime had deprived the oppressed Kashmiris of all civil, economic, constitutional and political rights as well as liberties besides autonomous status on August 5, 2019, making life nightmare for millions of innocent Kashmiris.
\n\u201cThe unending repression, human rights\u2019 abuses and organized Indian state terrorism that started from an illegal invasion at Srinagar on October 27, 1947 were further intensified after the fascist Modi Govt had unlawfully revoked the special status of the Indian Illegally Occupied Jummu and Kashmir (IIOJK) on August 5, 2019\u201d said Adnan Sarwar Khan, former Chairman, International Relations Department at University of Peshawar while talking to APP on Thursday.
\nFollowing abrogation of Articles 370 and 35 A on August 5, 2019, the fascist Modi Govt had made millions of oppressed Kashmiris hostage at gun point in IIOJ&K where life became a nightmare especially children and women, he added.
\nHe said that India went against several passed UN Security Council resolutions after abolishing the special status of IIOJK which was major dispute between Pakistan and India, saying it was the responsibility of UNSC members to grant rights of self-determination to the oppressed Kashmiris.
\nMushtaq Ahmed Shah, Vice Chairman, Jummu and Kashmir Peoples League told APP that October 27 would be observed as the blackest day by people of Kashmir.
\nHe said people of Azad Kashmir would stage big protest rallies and demonstrations on October 27 to condemn the long illegal occupation of IIOJK by the India.
\n\u201cAfter August 5 illegal actions, Indian occupation forces had killed innocent Kashmiris in fake encounters, put Kashmiri leadership behind bars, imposed clampdown on media and used rape as weapon of war,\u201d he said.
\nEven the mass rituals and funeral of great Kashmiri leader, Syed Ali Gillani was not allowed and his body was forcefully snatched from the bereaved family and buried at night.
\nSimilarly, great hurriat leader, Muhammad Yasin Malik was jailed for life in a fake case in a bid to silence his strong voice for Kashmir\u2019s freedom and terrorize other Kashmir leadership.
\nDespite the brutal killing of freedom fighter Burhan Wani and others Kashmiris leadership in a fake encounter, he said India has failed to suppress the indigenous freedom movement in IIOJK.
\nThe Kashmir leader claimed over six million illegal domicile certificates of IIOJK have been provided to Hindus in a bid to bring about demographic change there.
\nThe gruesome violation of human rights including forced disappearance of over 8,000 innocent Kashmiris, 8,652 unmarked mass graves, imposition of longest curfew on some 10 million unarmed Kashmiris, extra judicial killings and human rights abuses especially against women and children have exposed India\u2019s ugly secular face, he said.
\nThe Kashmir leader while referring to the September 2021\u2019s Pakistani dossier said about 8,652 unmarked graves were identified in 89 villages of six districts in the held valley while bodies of 37 Kashmiris burnt alive by Indian forces were beyond recognition.
\nSince 1989, he said over 96,000 cases of extra judicial killings, around 162,000 cases of arbitrary arrests and torture, over 25,000 pellet guns injuries, 11,250 women raped, 23,000 women widowed and over 108,000 children orphaned by the Indian army.
\nMushtaq Ahmed said an excessive use of snipers and cluster ammunitions by India to target innocent Kashmiris along the Line of Control (LoC), use of children and women as human shields by Indian army during encounters and making them sleep at military camps forcing them to dig out minefields and tying youth on military jeeps further testified Modi government\u2019s direct involvement in war crimes and genocide of Kashmiris.
\n\u201cOctober 27, 1947 and August 5, 2019 are the blackest days in the history of Kashmir as on these days, India had made deep-rooted conspiracy to rob Kashmiris of their history, language and ethno-cultural identity,\u201d said Professor Dr Ejaz Khan, former Chairman International Relations Department at University of Peshawar while talking to APP on Thursday.
\nHe said the Indian occupation forces\u2019 continued oppression, human rights abuses and unleashed terror at IIOJK were one of the root causes of an indigenous freedom movement in the held valley that was virtually turned into the world\u2019s largest jail in modern history after August 5, 2019 illegal act.
\n\u201cIndia can\u2019t change IIOJK autonomous status unilaterally in the wake of UN Security Council (UNSC) resolutions. The Indian Govt\u2019s illegal acts of August 5, 2019 were neither endorsed by the UNSC nor by any foreign country, and the Hinduvata regime was now repenting after internationalizing the Kashmir dispute that put peace in South Asia at stake,\u201d he said.
\nProfessor Dr AH Hilali, former Chairman Political Science Department, University of Peshawar said that strategic stability has been threatened by India as it continues to receive abundant supply of conventional and non conventional weapons that put the peace of South Asia at stake.
\nHe said the unprecedented increase in India\u2019s military budget and expenditures in recent years have characterized the global security landscape as grim.
\n\u201cThe Indian Govt has allways escaped from meaningful dialogue on Kashmir and never reciprocated positively to the Govt of Pakistan dialogue offer.\u201d
\nHussain Khateeb, member All Parties Hurriyat Conference (Gillani Group) 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 had exposed Modi\u2019s tyranny against minorities.
\nHe said mosques in Krishnagar, Dharmangar, Panisagar, Chandrapure were vandalized by the saffron-wearing youth in planned attacks on the Muslims population.
\nFormer ambassador Manzoorul Haq said that the illegal occupation of Kashmir valley by India had negated 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 that subsequently adopted by the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).
\n\u201cThis declaration was applied to all the signatory members of the UN including India and restrained them from all kinds of abuses, exploitation, maltreatment and violence besides violation of any fundamental rights protected in UDHR.:
\nAmbassador Manzoor said India\u2019s October 27, 1947 and August 5, 2019 illegal acts was a complete violation of international human rights laws including 4th Geneva Convention and UN Security Resolutions.
\n\u201cModi Govt went against several passed UN Security Council\u2019s resolutions after revoking the IIOJK\u2019s special status and it was responsibility of the international community including world powers to press the Hinduvata regime to immediately go back to pre August 5, 2019 status of IIOJK and give right of self determination to oppressed Kashmiris inevitable for lasting peace and stability in South Asia.\u201d
\nThe experts regretted the failure of UNSC in implementation of its resolutions on Kashmir and Palestine.
\nHe said international community should look beyond trade and business interests and step forward with collective action to stop genocide of oppressed Kashmiris besides pressurize Modi government to reverse all its illegal actions of August 5, 2019 and give right of self determination to them like that of East Taimur as per the UN Security Council\u2019s Resolutions imperative for lasting peace and stability in South Asia.
\nThey 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.
\nThe experts praised the bold stand adopted by Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif for highlighting the attrocities and human rights violations in IIOJK during his landmark address at United General Assembly.
\nThey said the freedom struggle in IIOJK has entered into an important phase and the day was near when people of the held valley would get freedom from Indian yoke.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
