Islamabad, (Parliament Times) : President Azad Kashmir Barrister Sultan Mahmood Chaudhry has said that Kashmiri diaspora community should play its much needed role to expose brutalities being inflicted on Kashmiri people by Indian occupation forces.
He expressed these views during a meeting with an overseas Kashmiri delegation that called on him here today.
The delegation, led by Sardar Zulfikar Khan, was comprised of Sardar Zubair Khan, Prof. Abdul Rashid Shah, Umar Mushtaq Hashmi, Muhammad Nadeem Khokhar and others.
Speaking on the occasion, Barrister Chaudhry said that the political and human rights situation in the Indian held territory had worsened further since the Indian government abrogated article 370 in 2019.He said that Indian bid to hold the so-called assembly elections in the disputed territory was a ploy to keep the charade of the normalcy alive and give a notion that every thing was hunky dory in Kashmir-the region marred by conflict, bloodshed and violence. Referring to the continued bloodshed in the region, the AJK president said that Kashmiris were being ruthlessly martyred by bloodthirsty Indian army day in day out.”Thousands of Kashmiri including the leaders of Hurriyat Conference have booked under sedition laws and left to rot in jails thousands of kilometers away from their homes”, he said, adding that it was high time that the Kashmiris settled in America, should raise their voices at every forum to raise awareness about Kashmir besides exposing the nefarious designs of of the Modi government.Barrister Sultan Mahmood Chaudhry urged the delegation that they should hold demonstrations in front of the United Nations to draw global attention towards the serious situation in Occupied Kashmir. On this occasion, minister for Physical Planning and Housing Chaudhry Yasir Sultan and Presidential Adviser Sardar Imtiaz Khan were also present.
