He said that all fundamental rights have been snatched from the subjugated people of Kashmir and deplored that continued cordon and search operation, arbitrary arrests under black laws, extrajudicial killings, physical and mental violence, corruption, degradation of human values, seizure of properties and crackdown on Islamic literature including books of renowned Muslim scholar Maulana Syed Abu al Aala Maudoodi and historical books on Jammu and Kashmir have become a routine matter of BJP govt in the disputed territory.<\/p>\n<p>He said at a time, when International Social Justice Day is observed across the world, the oppressed people of occupied Jammu and Kashmir continue to face injustice for the past 78 years for demanding the implementation of United Nations Security Council resolutions on Kashmir.<\/p>\n<p>He also denounced the BJP regime\u2019s local representative LG Manoj Sinha for suspending employees, attaching properties of Kashmiris and operations against the Islamic book and literature which are the fresh examples how Kashmir have been deprived of their social rights.<\/p>\n<p>He said the \u201cWorld Day of Social Justice\u201d is being celebrated all over the world but Kashmiris including its leadership and thousands in jails have been deprived of the social justice. KMS-8R<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Following is the full text of the memorandum:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis Excellency,<br \/>\nAntonio Guterres, Secretary General<br \/>\nUnited Nations Organisation.<br \/>\nSir,<\/p>\n<p>Today, on 20th of February 2025, the world is celebrating \u201cWorld Social Justice Day\u201d. It is believed that justice is giving, everybody his due. It is not nearly numerical, it is social as well. It attempts to remove degradation, discrimination and exploitation. Justice demands, the rule of law, but at the same time, it expects law to be based on a social system that does not allow any discrimination and exploitation.<\/p>\n<p>Twentieth Century was often described as the age of rights. Now we have stepped in the 21st Century. Rights have moral, political and legal functions. As we also know that human rights are moral pre legal rights. They are not granted by the people nor can they be taken away by them. They can only be respected or violated by them.<\/p>\n<p>Social Justice is interrelated to the protection and safeguard of Human Rights both at National and International level. In this regard the United Nations General Assembly adopted and proclaimed on 10th of December 1948,\u201d United Nations Charter of Human Rights\u201d which guarantees: Civil, political, social and economic rights.<\/p>\n<p>Sir, For the last quarter century now, the people of Jammu and Kashmir are engaged in a resistance movement against the Indian illegal occupation, demanding their inalienable Right to Self Determination as recognised by the United Nations Security council in its ,more than one and a half dozen Resolutions. The ordeal under the shadow of a war faced by the people of Kashmir, illegally occupied by India, has been reported by various independent organisations working for human rights, including Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, International Red Cross Committee and several local human rights organisations.<\/p>\n<p>The dreadful saga of human rights abuses perpetrated by Indian occupation forces needs volumes together to narrate. All fundamental Rights have been snatched from the subjugated people of Kashmir by India. Freedom of speech is prohibited. Human dignity has been bruised. Impartial journalism has been strangulated. Political space has been bulldozed. Economic blockades are imposed. Demography of the internationally recognised disputed territory is being changed, unilaterally. Arbitrary arrests, physical violence, desecration of the chastity of women, rape, plunder, degradation of Human values, extrajudicial killings in fake encounters, has become a routine matter. State Terrorism perpetrated by more than one million occupation forces of India is being used for widespread genocide and ethnic cleansing of Muslim majority of the occupied Jammu and Kashmir.<\/p>\n<p>Sir, the people of Jammu and Kashmir, today on this auspicious celebration of of World Social Justice Day hope that the highest World Body: UNO shall, in pursuance of its moral and legal obligations , intervene in Jammu and Kashmir dispute to resolve it in accordance with the United Nations Security council Resolutions and the wishes and aspirations of the people of Kashmir. Kosovo and East Timur are the glaring examples of UN intervention where the people exercised their inalienable right to self-determination and finally the conflicts got Resolutions honorably.<\/p>\n<p>In comparison to Kosovo and East Timur, people of Kashmir have rendered innumerable sacrifices in terms of Human lives and material property. Today Kashmir has been turned into jail and military cantonment where human life has lost its honour, dignity and value, under the worst military and police siege of Indian forces establishment.<\/p>\n<p>On behalf of people of Jammu and Kashmir appeal to your good self to use your good offices and help resolve Kashmir dispute and stop atrocities, extrajudicial killings, arrests, demographic changes, black laws, violations of international laws and widespread Human Rights Abuses in the Indian illegally occupied territory perpetrated by Indian BJP govt and its forces, unabated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yours sincerely,<br \/>\nAdv Abdul Rashid Minhas<br \/>\nSpokesman, All Parties Hurriyat Conference,<br \/>\nFrom Srinagar<br \/>\n20th of February 2025<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Srinagar: The All Parties Hurriyat Conference has called for intervention by the UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, on urgent basis to resolve the Kashmir dispute.
