ISLAMABAD, Oct 8 (APP): Mushaal Yaseen Malik, wife of Chairman
Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front Yaseen Malik said human rights
violations and atrocities in Indian Held Kashmir (IHK) crossed the
figures of Srilanka and Chechnya but international community was
just a silent spectator.
She was addressing a seminar on `Human Rights Atrocities in
Kashmir-Plight of Kashmiri Women’ organized by Women Parliamentary
Caucus at Pakistan Institute of Parliamentary Studies.
She said Indian security forces were brutally killing innocent
Kashmiris even the drivers of ambulances, stopped the supply of
basic necessities of life including food, water, electricity,
medical assistance to refrain residents of the valley from their
just cause of holding free and fair plebiscite.
Mushaal Malik informed that including her husband, Yaseen
Malik who was a political leader, more than 5000 people were
imprisoned by the Indian forces and were continuously tortured
without any evidence.
She informed that her husband was a political prisoner not a
terrorist but he was detained in a army investigation cell rather
than in a jail.
Yaseen Malik was a heart patient and using life saving
drugs but no medication was being provided to him despite his day
by day deteriorating condition, she added.
Doctors have advised to shift Yasin Malik immediately to
Intensive Care Unit but Indian army has kept him in torture cell
putting his life on stake.
She said that she had also wrote a letter to United Nations
General Secretary Ban Ki Mon regarding her husband’s condition and
requested him that the plight of Kashmiri prisoners should be
considered seriously who were just fighting a freedom movement for
implementation of UN resolution on Kashmir issue.
The martyrdom of Burhan Wani, she said, had invoked high
spirit among the Kashmiris to get their fundamental rights to self
determination.
Indian forces, she said, were treating innocent unarmed
Kashmiris like terrorists, who were just demanding holding of a free
and fair plebiscite according to the UN resolutions which were
adopted on the request of Nehru.
Mushaal said that Indian politicians and media persons were
continuously issuing provoking statements to hide the real situation
of Kashmir from the world.
“Kashmiris will sacrifice their lives but will never seek
mercy from the Indian forces,” she added.
Kashmiris, she said, were not afraid of the tactics of Indian
armed forces and would continue their fight till achieving their
goal of holding a free and just plebiscite in the valley.
She said Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif in his UN General
Assembly address had exposed the real face of India before the
world.
Pakistan had always supported Kashmiris diplomatically,
politically and morally while India played the Uri drama itself to
hide its brutalities in IHK, she added.
Secretary Women Parliamentary Caucus, Shaista Pervaiz Malik
said it was obligatory for us to play role in individual capacity
to support the freedom movement of Kashmiri people.
Highlighting the historical background of Kashmir issue, she
said, during partitions such issues rise among states but civilized
nations resolve them through dialogue on table, adding that
unfortunately India had crossed all the limits.
Now around 6,00,000 Indian para military and security forces
are deputed in Kashmiris to crush their protest through force but
the movement is in hands of youth who are ready to sacrifice every
thing to secure their fundamental right of freedom.
She expressed her dismay over Indian policy makers for not
understanding the feelings of residents of the occupied valley.
She urged the Amnesty International and other international
Human Rights organizations to show reaction on HR violations in
IHK.
