MIRPUR (AJK): AJK President Sardar Masood Khan has said that resolve of Kashmiri people will triumph over Indian tyranny that has made their lives miserable. “India has not only snatched the right of education, health and freedom of free speech from the people of Kashmir but also has deprived them to live a dignified life”.
The Indian brutishness has made human blood in Occupied Kashmir cheaper than the water,” President Masood Khan told a gathering of Kashmiri community at Pakistan High Commission in London, said a message received here.
He said Kashmiris are subjected to the worst kind of repression for raising voice for their internationally recognized right to self-determination. The oppression, he added was recorded and documented by credible organizations like Amnesty International, Asia Watch and UN Human Rights Commission. The Human Rights Commission of United Nation in its latest report amply exposed India by holding its occupation forces operating under draconian laws, responsible of trampling fundamental rights of the Kashmiri people under their jack-boots, he expressed.
He said that around half million people of Kashmir have been killed and same number of them pushed into AJK and Pakistan since 1947 when 250,000 innocent Kashmiris were cold-bloodedly butchered in Jammu, President Khan said, adding that It was second largest Holocaust after World War-II and the tyranny started in 1947 in Kashmir persists till today.
Sardar Masood Khan went on to say thousands of unmarked graves of those who were tortured to death bear testimony of Indian savagery. These graves are of those who were tortured to death by Indian forces in different torture cells, he said.
Expressing his deep gratitude to British Parliament and All Parties Parliamentary Kashmir Group of the Parliament for highlighting plights of Kashmiri people, the AJK President expressed his hope that APPKG will continue its efforts to put pressure on India to respect human rights of Kashmiri people.
The AJK President also urged the members of Diaspora to redouble their efforts for vigorously highlighting Kashmir issue in its true perspective and exposing the atrocities of Indian Occupation forces against innocent people of Kashmir.
