IIOJ&K —In the eyes of Kashmiris

ISLAMABAD Pr

The world has time and again rejected India's baseless claim that Kashmir is an internal matter of India. India's own opposition leaders have termed the abrogation of Article 370 as an attack on the constitution, destructive and the darkest chapter in the history of the Indian state.

With this initiative of India, Kashmir once again emerged on the international stage and Indian actions fall under the category of open violation of the eighteen resolutions of the United Nations. Jammu and Kashmir Phelps Democratic Party leader Mehbooba Mufti says that you cannot imprison an idea but only a better idea can compete with a good idea. When attempts are made to forcefully crush the right to dissent, people feel walled off, resulting in further dissension and alienation.

Kashmiri leader Omar Abdullah said that Modi's actions want to prove our homeland as a Hindu homeland, which is completely against the Indian constitution. We will restore the special status of Kashmir. Now the slogans of freedom are getting louder in different regions of India including Kashmir and Punjab.

Today, voices are being raised in the halls of the world in favor of the Kashmiri people. Since August

2019, the international media has been condemning India's inhumane and undemocratic actions in Occupied Kashmir. The Guardian described it as an attempt to make Kashmir an Indian colony. Along with this, members of the British Parliament also strongly condemned the ongoing massacres and sexual violence against women in Occupied Kashmir. Honorable members said that for more than seventy years, Kashmiris and a half war, and there were so many in between, and in this regard, both the countries went for the atomic race and are now the nuclear powers and this is because of the Kashmir issue. If Kashmir issue was dissolved peacefully through the United Nations Security Council resolutions or through peaceful talks between Indian and Pakistan, the region could have progress much more than what it is currently”. have been living in a hell and today their very existence is in danger, apart from the right to self-determination.

The people of India and Pakistan are living under poverty in the era of progress and prosperity. But unfortunately, India never accept the resolution of Kashmir and never implement the UN Security Council resolution, never talk to Pakistan, or the people of Kashmir in peaceful means” Wani added.

He stressed India that it is high time to accept the resolution of Kashmir issue as per UN resolutions for a peaceful region, he informed.

While, aggregating the article 370 and 35A unilaterally, the Indian government has taken many steps to change the demography of the Indian occupied Kashmir to change the political and religious landscape of the Kashmir, but that will not help the cause of peace and prosperity. If the prosperity is to be achieved, the only way is the peaceful resolution of Kashmir issue, he mentioned.

He said that all those big powers who are very much interested in peace, must think that all the roads to peace go through Kashmir. They have to bring the results of the Kashmir issue peacefully, he conlcuded.

Members of the British Parliament openly raised their voices against Indian state terrorism and in favor of the oppressed people of Occupied Kashmir. According to a BBC report, the Indian federal government gives less autonomy to the Union Territories than the States.

The local population and politicians were not consulted to end the special status of Kashmir. BBC Indian scholar Nanut Chadha Bahir said that democratic principles are being destroyed in India. Nobel laureate Amrita Sen in an interview to NDTV said that I don't think there will be any resolution of Kashmir even without democracy because it will be a hindrance in the way of democracy. Being an Indian, it is not a proud for me, after India introduced democratic principle in India which used to be a country known for democracy all over the world but now we have lost that reputation. Amrita Sen strongly criticized the detention of the central leadership of Jammu and Kashmir and said that I do not think justice can be achieved without hearing the views of the leaders and people of Kashmir. Mr. Sharma said that I want to tell the Indian nation that Kashmir has been liberated today because the agreement that was there has expired.
