New York (Parliament Times):The Kashmir Global Council (KGC)has warned international community and G20 countries to avoid any meeting in Occupied Jammu & Kashmir on Indian EMA. Kashmir Global Council (KGC) has expresses deep concern and over India’s inclusion of Jammu and Kashmir in the list of venues for the 2023 G20 summit.
KGC President Farooq Siddiqui said in a special statement that if Russia hosts G20 meetings in Crimea or Donetsk, it is likely that the US, Britain, France, Canada and other G20 members will boycott such meetings. Or at least register your protest. He asserted that the G20 members should act keeping in mind the real facts of the Jammu and Kashmir conflict and should avoid their presence in disputed Kashmir otherwise they risk setting a worse example that will lead to regional tensions. The occupation and annexation should be justified.
Farooq Siddiqui said that it is noteworthy that the United Nations Human Rights Office released two reports on Jammu and Kashmir (in 2018 and 2019) which allege massive human rights violations by the Indian armed forces. was documented. Additionally, the Indian government has denied travel access to Kashmir to foreign journalists, UNHRC officials, Red Cross for decades. India’s move to host the G20 meetings in Kashmir is part of the Indian government’s desire to normalize the situation in Kashmir despite the presence of over three-quarters of a million Indian armed forces in the region.
Farooq Siddiqui said that it would be absurd for Western countries whose foreign policy values ??are based on the fundamental principle of respect for human rights worldwide to hold any meeting in an area where the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) is in force. ) and strict laws such as public safety are in place. Act (PSA) is being used with impunity to stifle freedom of expression, and voice dissent, killing people with impunity without recourse to the justice system. The KGC president said that our organization welcomes the statement of the New Democratic Party (NDP) of Canada earlier last year calling on the Canadian government to boycott the G20 events in Kashmir.
The KGC asks all G20 members to express their objection to India holding a meeting in Kashmir on the grounds that the Kashmir issue has not been resolved in accordance with the UN Charter or the aspirations of the Kashmiri people.
