Pakistan strongly condemns extra-judicial killing of five Kashmiris in IIOJK; reiterates its call for international accountability of Indian occupation forces

Islamabad, January 30, 2022 (PPI-OT):Pakistan strongly condemns extra-judicial killing of five Kashmiris in IIOJK, and reiterates its call for international accountability of Indian occupation forces. Pakistan strongly condemns the reported extra-judicial killing of five Kashmiris in Pulwama and Budgam in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) by the Indian occupation forces on 29-30 January 2022.

In their unabated reign of terror, the Indian occupation forces have martyred at least 23 Kashmiris in fake “encounters” and so-called cordon-and-search operations in the month of January alone. Driven by the far-right extremist ‘Hindutva’ ideology that provokes and condones genocide of Muslims, the Indian forces are relentlessly targeting the Kashmiris, especially youth, in the occupied territory.

The international community must act to stop this wanton oppression and persecution of the besieged Kashmiris under illegal occupation. We also reject and condemn the Indian officials’ lies insinuating the killing of an alleged “Pakistani” resistance fighter. The Indian occupation forces are known to kill innocent Kashmiris passing them off as “alleged militants”, in the hope of getting monetary rewards or ‘gallantry’ medals.

Pakistan salutes the resilience of the Kashmiri people who continue to stand firm in their just and peaceful struggle for their legitimate right to self-determination as pledged to them by the relevant UN Security Council resolutions. We also reiterate our call on the international community, including the United Nations, to hold India accountable for its gross and systematic human rights violations and crimes against humanity in IIOJK, without further delay.

India’s cruel tactics cannot change reality of Kashmir dispute

Islamabad, January 30, 2022 (PPI-OT):The All Parties Hurriyat Conference Azad Jammu and Kashmir (APHC-AJK) chapter leaders, Sheikh Abdul Mateen and Imtiaz Wani have said that India’s cruel tactics cannot change the reality of Kashmir dispute. The APHC-AJK leaders in their separate statements in Islamabad paid rich tributes to the five Kashmiri youth who were martyred by the Indian troops in Pulwama and Budgam.

They deplored that India had intensified its atrocities in the occupied territory and were killing innocent Kashmiri youth during the so-called cordon and search operations, which was condemnable. The Hurriyat leaders urged India to give up its oppressive policy towards Kashmir and resolve the lingering Kashmir dispute by giving Kashmiris their right to self-determination. They lamented that the Indian troops were committing genocide of the Kashmiris to convert the Muslim majority status of the territory into a minority.

They said that India had kept Hurriyat leadership and thousands of Kashmiri youth in jails and the sacrifices of Kashmiri martyrs would not go waste as the people of Kashmir would, one day, get rid of Indian subjugation. The Hurriyat leaders demanded the United Nations to take notice of the atrocities committed in the occupied territory by the Indian troops, saying that implementation of the UN resolutions was the only solution to the Kashmir dispute.
