Rehmani urges UN members to see through Indian election tactics in IIOJK
Islamabad: Senior APHC-AJK leader Muhammad Farooq Rehmani, has appealed to the UN member states to understand the latest Indian gimmicks surrounding the artificial electoral-political atmosphere in militarily besieged occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Muhammad Farooq Rehmani in a statement issued in Islamabad rejected India’s claim of elections in Kashmir, saying they were “empty vessels make much noise” and had no popular basis.
Rehmani stated that the Modi establishment had imposed an iron grip over social, economic, political, and religious fields of public life, and thousands of peaceful citizens and political workers were sent to prisons under draconian laws.
He called the elections a one-sided affair, with popular leadership in jails, political organizations banned, and assets confiscated. Rehmani emphasized that India had no power to violate international law and resolutions about Kashmir and couldn’t rule arbitrarily. He concluded that manipulated polling couldn’t reflect the urges and aspirations of the people, who wanted the right of self-determination and no settler colonialism.
