AJK President Sardar Masood Khan while strongly condemning the killing of nine youth by Indian troops in occupied Kashmir within 24 hours, has said that the Indian Army is making abortive attempts to hide wounds and humiliation it had received from Chinese army in Ladakh.
Reacting to brutal murder of nine Kashmiri youth and destruction of property on a large scale during a so-called operation in Shopian district of occupied Kashmir, he said that a professional army never indulges in such acts.
The AJK President said, “Brutality is in full swing in occupied foreign territory. Another 9 youth killed in IOJK. Mothers keening and wailing. The remains of fallen youth not given to families.
Demonstrators targeted with pellets and tear-gas. Justice will be enforced by force.” He asserted that the coward Indian Army is carrying out the brutalities against the people of occupied Jammu and Kashmir when the whole population of the state is looking towards the government to save their lives from the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).
Through the massacre of Kashmiri people, the foreign occupying army is giving a message that it wants to just occupy the territory at all costs, and to materialize its hegemonic designs by eliminating every form of resistance in the state. Sardar Masood Khan said that the only fault of the Kashmiri people is that they are demanding their right to decide their future destiny. This right, he added, had been recognized by the international community through the UN resolutions that founders of India Mahatma Gandhi and Jawahar Lal Nehru had also recognized. He said that those at the helm of affairs in India now, have no care about the human rights and human values as they want to deprive all Indian minorities of their rights, and want to establish a Hindu state which would have no space for the non-Hindus, he added.
The AJK President expressed grave concern that India was using the lockdown enforced in the wake of COVIDD-19, as a shield to hide the ethnic cleansing of Kashmiri people.—INP
