Muzaffarabad: India is imposing the worst oppression on the people of occupied Jammu and Kashmir. The statement of Indian Home Minister Amit Shah, attempting to portray the current dire situation in Kashmir as peaceful, is reiterated falsehood from Indian authorities. Uzair Ahmad Ghazali, Chairman of Pasban-e-Hurriyat, denounced Shah’s statement as a repeated lie from the Indian government regarding the deteriorating situation in Kashmir, aiming to deceive the world. Ghazali emphasized that the world knows Kashmir is akin to a prison, where civilians are suppressed by the control of millions of troops, their emotions and sentiments forcefully silenced at gunpoint.

Amit Shah, the Indian Home Minister, by deploying ten lakh occupying troops in the Kashmir Valley, setting up checkpoints in every nook and corner, enforcing draconian laws, and incarcerating leaders of the All Parties Hurriyat Conference and thousands of other civilians, is attempting unsuccessfully to normalize the state’s conditions. Uzair Ahmad Ghazali stated that India remains as an occupying force in Jammu and Kashmir, and this status quo cannot be altered. He asserted that Indian authorities are making efforts on political fronts for self-determination rights while imposing restrictions on local political and religious groups. The arrests of activists advocating for freedom of expression and violations of human rights in occupied Kashmir prove that Amit Shah is trying to conceal the war crimes of Indian forces in Kashmir.

Ghazali emphasized that the state of Jammu and Kashmir is a disputed territory, and its decision will be made by the Kashmiri people according to the resolutions passed by the United Nations Security Council. The false claims and oppressive actions of Indian authorities cannot suppress the Kashmiri people’s resistance movement. The time is near when Indian rulers will be held accountable for their terrorism in Kashmir.

Throwing light on the UN role and responsibilities to ensure the implementation of international law and enforcement human rights mechanisms, the speakers said human rights components in peace operations play a significant role in advancing inclusive development, rule of law and peace. “These components also help prevent future conflict by addressing grievances”, they said, adding ensuring human rights serve as a shared and effective basis for UN’s work.

They said that maintaining peace and security, protecting human rights, preventing genocide, crimes against humanity, supporting sustainable development and upholding international law were prime responsibilities of the UN.

Discussing the failure of the UN peace-building operations in effectively addressing human rights as warning signs of conflict, they said that there was a dire need to enhance strategies to ensure that human rights of the people were protected and respected under all circumstances and more important to add teeth to human rights machinery.

Referring to the continued bloodshed and violence in the disputed regions like Palestine and Kashmir, the speakers emphasized that it was imperative for the UNSC to use its diplomatic clout to make sure that the international law was upheld in letter and spirit.

They said unfortunately UNSC has become a political forum and big powers use veto to save their interests in different regional conflicts. It is the failure of UNSC.

Stressing the need for the early and amicable settlement of the Kashmir and Palestine disputes, the speakers said that the UN’s agenda for sustainable development, rule of law, peace and prosperity was inescapably linked to the settlement of these lingering disputes.

They said these unresolved disputes have been the main cause of unrest and human rights violations and it is the responsibility of the Human Rights Council to bring perpetrators to justice and make them accountable.

MUZAFFARABA: Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Legislative Assembly Speaker Ch. Latif Akbar has suggested Federal government to appoint Ex Foreign Minister and Chairman PPP Bilawal Bhutto Zardari as Chairman of the parliamentary Kashmir Committee to effectively present the Kashmir cause particularly in the changing circumstances of illegally Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) after August 05, 2019 where occupier have suppressed all the political and human rights of the people.

Speaking at a press conference along with AJK Ministers Sardar Javed Ayoob and Syed Bazil Ali Naqvihere on Thursday, he counted number of suppressive measures taken by the Indian government including banning the political parties and said that Bilawal Bhutto Zardari had enough experience to make the committee vibrant and functional to highlight the plight of the people of Kashmir.

He said that the subjugation of the people in the hands of Indian had been multiplied after the abrogation of Article 370 from the Indian constitution and now the political rights have been snatched from the people by banning different political parties including Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), National Party, Peoples’ League and others.

He said that Modi’s recent visit to the occupied valley was failed as the students; police and armed forces personnel were brought in plain cloths to attend the gathering he addressed and people boycotted his visit saying no to its hegemony and unlawful occupation of their land.

He said all the political and fundamental rights of the people had been snatched in the occupied valley by the use of draconian laws, human right activists including a renowned one Khurum Pervez had been detained and the intensity of the atrocities are going to match the Israeli ones against the Palestine people.

While condemning the genocidal killings of the Palestine people by Israel, he demanded the international community to halt the Israel from mass killings by force and likewise exert pressure on Indian to stop human rights violations in IIOJK.

The speaker said the Pakistan government should raise the issue of usurpation of the fundamental rights in IIOJK at every forum and for better advocacy, the Parliamentary Kashmir Committee should be made functional with Bilawal Bhuto Zardari as its Chairman whose experience will add to mobilize the masses and committee’s activities to highlight the issue.

He also paid rich tribute to the Army officers and Jawans who embraced martyrdom during a recent terrorist attack in Wana area of Waziristan and said that the terrorists and the activities from Afghanistan soil would no be tolerated any more.

On the occasion, Minister Sardar Javed Ayoob said that before the polls going to be held in IIOJK, political parties were being banned though the elections were not the alternative to the plebiscite for the people to decide their fate but internal political rights had also being usurped and a cognizance of that must be taken by the international community.

He said Modi was trying to suppress even the lowest voice of the people of Kashmir who were already leading a miserable life that was not tolerable and here we hope that when grand election are going to held in most parts of the world including India and United States, the people of IIOJK will get their political right as well. The only solution of the Kashmir issue was that let the Kashmir representatives decide the future of their coming generations and the world power respect the democratic rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.

Mirpur: President Azad Kashmir Barrister Sultan Mehmood Chaudhry, while terming unemployment as the biggest problem in Azad Kashmir, has said promoting industrialization was a key to overcome the growing unemployment in the region.

He expressed these views while talking to a delegation of local industrialists and members of the business community who called on him here today. The president said that during his tenure as the Prime Minister he had encouraged industrialization and provided facilities to investors. “As a result many people invested and set up industrial units in Azad Kashmir, especially at Mirpur”, the president said, adding that it was quite unfortunate that the subsequent governments could not provide the facilities the investors enjoyed during his period.

Urging investors to invest their capital in Azad Kashmir, Barrister Chaudhry assured the visiting delegates that the government was ready to provide all kinds of support and facilities to them.

Referring to the dwindling job opportunities, he said that it was not possible for the government to accommodate all the unemployed in the public sector.He said that the only way to create job opportunities for the youth was to promote a policy of sustainable industrialization in the liberated territory.

He said that industrialization would not only be instrumental in raising the standard of living of the people in Azad Kashmir, but it would also help to attain the goal of self-sufficiency. Barrister Chaudhry, on the occasion, said that he was well aware of the problems faced by the residents of Mirpur.  All the problems, he said, would be solved on priority basis.

Led by the President Azad Jammu and Kashmir Chamber of Commerce (AJKCC) and Industry Syed Sabir Hussain Shah, the delegation was comprised of Vice President Chaudhry Kashif Nazir Bajar, Raja Muhammad Ashfaq Ratvi, Javed Iqbal, Syed Shamriz Hussain Shah, and others. During the meeting, the AJKCC president briefed the President about the Mirpur dry port, Rathoha Hariyam bridge and the restoration of 11 thousand plots in Mirpur Development Authority in recent days.
