The KIIR ED said that massive use of lethal weapons, killing, loot and arson, molestation and sexual assault on women bhave become order of the day by the Indian occupational forces in occupied Kashmir.
Amjad Yousaf pointed out that the philosophy of half-widow in the world emerged from occupied Jammu & Kashmir where thousands of husbands disappeared after they were abducted by the Indian occupational forces including the secret agencies and women are waiting for their missing husbands since past many years.
He said that Indians are desperate to change the narrative of Kashmir issue and disclosing the nefarious designs of India. He said that people in the occupied state are facing horrendous situations, un-proportionate military might, detentions and unabated killings.
In this grim situation the life, honor and property of the people including women become vulnerable and the human rights organisations were not allowed to visit occupied Kashmir to assess the ugly situation caused by the human rights abuses in the turbulent held valley, he said.
Amjad called upon the comity of nations besides the International human rights organisation to immediate move ahead to get the human rights abuses including molestation of women in Occupied Kashmir stopped in the Indian held Jammu & Kashmir by exerting diplomatic and moral pressure on India to grant Kashmiris their much-cherished and long awaited birth right of self determination under the spirit of the International norms and commitments, he concluded.
