Pakistan will continue to extend unwavering support for Kashmir cause: Mushaal
Islamabad: Special Assistant to Prime Minister for Human Rights and Women Empowerment Mushaal Hussein Mullick has said that Pakistan will continue to extend its unwavering moral, political and diplomatic support for the Kashmir cause.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Mushaal Hussein Mullick was addressing a seminar organized by the Press Information Department (PID), Islamabad, in connection with Kashmir Solidarity Day.
Principal Information Officer Dr Tariq Mehmood Khan and members and representatives of All Kashmir Newspapers Association (AKNA) also addressed the occasion. The Director General of Information Service Academy Arshad Munir, DG PID Ambreen Gul, President of AKNA Amjad Chaudhry and members of civil society and other media associations also attended the seminar.
She said the Kashmir Solidarity Day serves as a testament of Pakistan’s unwavering commitment to the resolution of the Kashmir issue as per the United Nations resolutions and provision of justice and peace to the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
Highlighting the human rights violations in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), Mushaal said that India had been involved in genocide, extra-judicial killings, torture in custody, the use of chemical weapons, violence against children and women, enforced disappearances, pellet gun usage, collective punishment, black laws, false flag operations and fake police encounters in its failing effort to suppress the freedom movement of the people of occupied Kashmir.
She expressed concerns over Modi’s move of establishing illegal Hindu settlements in IIOJK to alter the demographic landscape and turn Muslim majority into a minority in the region. She said the issuance of Kashmiri domiciles to non-Kashmiri by India had seen a significant increase after the Indian illegal actions of August 05, 2019.
Mushaal raised alarms over the unjust and illegal persecution of peaceful Kashmiri leadership and said Kashmiri leaders are either languishing in jails or kept under house arrest. She said that the grave of the late Kashmiri leader Syed Ali Gilani had been turned into a sub-jail by India, making it inaccessible to visitors.
Mushaal said that Pakistan was a target of Indian terror operations and irrefutable evidence of Indian involvement in targeted killings inside Pakistan was available. She further said that the global reach of the RSS terrorist network was a threat to global peace.
Mushaal urged the international community and the UN to stand in solidarity with people of Kashmir, acknowledge their rights and make efforts to ensure the peaceful resolution of the Kashmir issue as per the aspirations of the Kashmiri people and the relevant UN resolutions.
