During the meeting, he briefed the Governor on the latest developments unfolding in IIOJK. The Governor reiterated that Pakistan will persist in advocating for the Kashmiri people\u2019s right to self-determination across all international forums, underscoring that Pakistan remains steadfast in its support for the Kashmiri cause.<\/p>\n<p>Governor Mandokhel appealed to international bodies such as the United Nations, the European Union, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), and other human rights organizations to urgently address India&#8217;s ongoing oppression in IIOJK and actively work towards ensuring Kashmiris&#8217; right to self-determination.<\/p>\n<p>Mushhtaq Ahmad Butt further highlighted the grave situation in IIOJK, including the continuation of Indian state terrorism and egregious human rights violations. He provided an overview of the severe consequences that followed India\u2019s illegal actions on August 5, 2019, when IIOJK\u2019s special status was revoked. Butt explained that this move not only violated the territory\u2019s autonomy but also marked the beginning of a concerted effort to erase Kashmir\u2019s Muslim identity, cultural heritage, and religious character, while attempting to alter the demographic composition by turning the region into a Hindu-majority state.<\/p>\n<p>He also drew attention to the ongoing atrocities perpetrated by the BJP-led Indian government against Kashmiri youth, women, and Hurriyat leaders, including extrajudicial killings, arbitrary arrests, media censorship, and the inhumane treatment of political prisoners.<\/p>\n<p>The APHC-AJK leader expressed his gratitude to Governor Mandokhel for his warm hospitality and for his unwavering support and solidarity with the Kashmiri people in their struggle.<\/p>\n<p>Mirza Shamshad, the Provincial President of the Pakistan Muslim League (N), and representatives from the Kashmiri community in Quetta were also present during the meeting.
