India committing grave human rights violations in IIOJK: Director KPRI
Islamabad: Director of Kashmir Policy Research Institute (KPRI), Dr. Raja Muhammad Sajjad Khan has said that India is committing grave human rights violations in occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Director KPRI Dr. Raja Muhammad Sajjad Khan said this while briefing training officers of the Senior Management Course organized by the National Institute of Management (NIM) in Islamabad. The KPRI is an Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) based think tank.
He said that the Kashmir was an internationally recognized disputed territory and that the United Nations has passed several resolutions regarding it. He said that India was following Israeli tactics in committing genocide of Kashmiris and altering the territory’s demography. He said that since revoking IIOJK’s special status in August 2019, the BJP government had issued more than 63 lakh domicile certificates to non-Kashmiri Hindus.
The KPRI Director said New Delhi has usurped all the basic rights of the Kashmiri people including their right to life, lamenting that the Indian troops were killing Kashmiris in fake encounters.
He maintained that Pakistan was the only advocate of Kashmiris across the world and that the country was projecting the Kashmiris’ freedom movement at the international level.
Dr. Raja Muhammad Sajjad Khan said that Kashmir was the unfinished agenda of the partition of the Sub Continent and India had occupied the territory by dint of its military might. He said India has deployed more than 900,000 troops in the occupied territory to brutally suppress the indigenous freedom struggle of Kashmiris. He pointed out that the Kashmiri people had never accepted Indian illegal occupation of their motherland and they were offering sacrifices for its freedom.
