AJK PM calls upon UN to speak out against Indian terror in Kashmir

LONDON: Azad Jammu and Kashmir Prime Minister Raja Farooq Haider Khan told British parliamentarians that India has turned the occupied Kashmir into the world’s largest prison.
He said around seven million population of the held valley is being denied their basic human rights by India.
During a meeting with the cross-party MPs at the House of Commons here, the AJK prime minister said that more than 800,000 occupation army of India have turned the whole area into the most militarised zone on this planet.
Expressing his gratitude to the MPs debating Kashmir situation in the House of Commons for about three hours last week, AJK prime minister called upon United Nations to intervene and speak out against Indian terrorism.
Raja Farooq Haider, who is here to attend a global education conference, told the MPS that the people of occupied Kashmir live in constant fear of being kidnapped, killed, maimed, tortured and simply disappeared for never to return. He told the MPs that thousands of young Kashmiri boys and girls have been blinded by the Indian army troops using pellet guns. He said the pellet gun victims were targeted for merely exercising their democratic right of protest.
He said India doesn’t tolerate any kind of criticism of its policies and hold the whole population of Kashmir in contempt for demanding right of self-determination.
Addressing parliamentarians, the AJK premier said: “I am indebted and express my sincere gratitude to the UK parliament for showing solidarity to Kashmiris in their quest for right to self-determination on the pattern of Scotland and Brexit referendum. I am also grateful for expressing grave concerns over ensuing massive suffering and killings of Kashmiris and for condemning grave violations of human rights in Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir. Kashmir valley is burning under complete siege of Indian forces since last couple of months after brutal killing of Shaheed Burhan Muzaffar Wani on 8 July 2016. India has used all brutal means and committed grave violations of human rights to suppress the peaceful wave of Kashmiri youth from protesting.”
The PM told parliamentarians “this is indigenous movement launched by the people of the state to silence their right to self-determination under human rights convention duly acknowledged by the UN resolutions”.
Raja Farooq Haider said that Kashmiris are being killed by India for protesting for water, electricity and roads and are met with bullets and women are being raped and dumped by Indian soldiers. He said that anyone who speaks up for the right of self-determination is treated as an enemy.
The AJK PM extended an invitation to the parliamentarian to visit Azad Kashmir as well as Indian occupied Kashmir to witness how India has brutalized people in the most barbaric manner ever in human history.
