Brussels: Chairman Kashmir Council EU Ali Raza Syed has said, fake elections of so-called local bodies under New Delhi’s rule in Indian Held Kashmir (IHK) is not a solution of the issue of Kashmir.
There should be plebiscite under United Nations supervision in IHK in order to make logical political fate of the disputed Kashmir’s territory.
In a statement from Brussels, Chairman Kashmir Council EU said, the drama of municipal elections in Jammu & Kashmir under the Indian rules is unacceptable to the Kashmiris.
Appreciating the Kashmiri leadership for boycotting the election starting form 8th October, Ali Raza Syed said, call for boycott and a strike on the days of the elections proved that people of Kashmir don’t want more stay in Indian occupation.
Chairman Kashmir Council EU emphasized, Kashmiri people are struggling for their right of self-determination but by holding such bogus elections, India wants to show that the Held Kashmir is also part of its democracy. India just wishes to give an impression of false peace and democracy in Jammu and Kashmir. Previous elections in IHK also had no result in favour of rights of people of Jammu and Kashmir but it continued Indian occupation over the disputed territory.
While the fact is that a large scale human rights violations are being committed by the Indian forces in IHK. Indian authorities are engaged to press the mass resistance by use of force and brutalities.
Ali Raza Syed also condemned detention of leaders and workers opposing the Indian elections.
Representatives elect for local governments cannot be true representatives of the people of Jammu and Kashmir as they never raise their voices in favour of right of self-determination.
Ali Raza Syed further said that freedom struggle will not be stopped by elections under Indian authority. Kashmiri people will continue their struggle for freedom from Indian rule. India has forcefully held the state of Jammu and Kashmir but people of Kashmir want their right of self-determination at any cost.
Chairman Kashmir Council EU also called the international community for preventing human rights violation in IHK and help in a peaceful settlement of Jammu and Kashmir.
