PARIS,(Parliament Times): On the completion of one year since Modi govt revoked Article 370 and 35 A of the constitution to merge IOJK into Indian territory, France also witnessed a number of protest rallies and meetings. The big and prominent gathering /rally organised in Paris was also addressed besides Kashmiri Pakistani diaspora leaders, by a French human rights organisation named “Justice et droits sans frontièrs”( justice and human rights without frontiers) , head, Mr Deroche.
India is a signitory of the fundamental principles and objectives of the United Nations, as defined in the Charter. By repealing article 370 and 35A, Indian government has violated the United Nations Security council resolutions on the issue of Jammu Kashmir. The people of Jammu Kashmir do not accept this unilateral decision of Indian government and therefore, reject it outrightly.We will expose India at all inernational fora and do not let New Delhi implement it.
The atrocities and inhuman actions committed by Indian military and para miltary forces in the State are grave, therefore world community and international court of justice are emphasized to conduct an inquiry into it and judicial proceedings be initiated against Modi regime. The Valley of kashmir has been turned into the biggest jail the world has ever witnessed, almost 80 million people are under siege in Kashmir.
Indian forces in Indian occupied part of jammu Kashmir (IOJK) besides killings have also rendered thousands handicapped by freely targeting them with pellette guns.
India did not even hesitate when its forces dropped cluster bombs on civilian population on and accross Line of Control (LOC).
The list of Indian brutalitiies is quite long and Modi Govt’s religious extremism (Hindutva) agenda ….is a source of all Indian nefarious designs and brutalities.
Modi Govt is now systematically implementing the measures to change the demographic complexion of the State by allotting land to Shiv sena -RSS Hindu extremists. Muslim majority is being changed to minority in IOJK. We, the people of Kashmir demand of the world powers to implement the United Nations Human Rights Council’s two comprehensive reports issued in 2018-19, on gross human rights violations in kashmir ….and since August 5, 2019 these violatios of all sorts have been multiplied by the Modi govt in the State of Jammu Kashmir.
The most importantly, world conscience is appealed to quickly react in concrete terms against Indian aggression in Jammu Kashmir before its forces further butalise the State.
Meanwhile a big prostest gathering was also held before famous Eiffel Tower organised by Pakistan- France Cultural Association on August 4 by a prominent member Sahibzada Attiqu ur Rehman with the help of different political and social organisations. The participants chanted slogans against Indian forces’ siege of Kashmir Valley. Pamphlets containing chronicles of killings, rapes, forced disappearances and pallet gun victims were distributed to, besides various French human rights organisations, common citizens and of course to a big number of tourists from different parts of the world despite Covid 19 restrictions who always prefer to visit Paris. On 5the August, there took another big rally from a Central Paris Metro station up to Place de Republique. The rally which was organised by Kashmir- Pakistan diaspora communities, converged at Place the Republique where a number of people addressed. Two Kashmiri Forums namely Kashmir Peace International headed by its Chaiman Raja Ishfaque Kiani, President Zahid Iqbal Hashmi and Jammu Kashmir Forum France (JKFF) Chairman Chaudhry Naeem, President Asif Jarral played a pivotal role in organising and mobilising the community in general and France- based political parties of Pakistan, in particular.
