Grim situation in IIOJK warrants world’s immediate attention
Srinagar: The civil society has said the grim situation in Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir warrants immediate intervention by the international community.
According to Kashmir Media Service, civil society members in a statement in Srinagar deplored that Kashmiri youth and activists are being summoned to police stations and other Indian agency centers, and arrested under the garb of cordon and search operations without any reason. They expressed serious concern over the gross human rights violations being perpetrated by the Indian BJP regime in the occupied territory.
They said that weakening the Kashmiris’ demand for political justice through the use of brute force was part of the Indian BJP government’s nefarious designs.They said the BJP regime was hatching conspiracies to choke every dissenting voice in IIOJK by using draconian laws like the Public Safety Act (PSA) and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).
The activists said the BJP regime has trampled all fundamental rights of the Kashmiri people, including the right to expression, freedom of the press, and freedom of political, social, business, and religious activities. The world community must not remain indifferent to what is happening in IIOJK. They said India should give up its imperialist approach on Kashmir, accept the ground realities in the changing geo-political situation, and resolve the Kashmir dispute.
The statement urged the United Nations to play its role in the settlement of the lingering Kashmir dispute in accordance with its resolutions and the aspirations of the Kashmiri people to ensure durable peace in South Asia.
