Washington, December 20, 2022 (PPI-OT):The Kashmiri diaspora leadership based in the United States has condemned murder, loot and destruction of private properties by the Indian troops in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir and called on the international community to act decisively to protect the Kashmiri people from Hindutva onslaught. The Kashmiri Diaspora Coalition (KDC) in a statement in Washington said, “The ongoing all-out war against Kashmiris in IIOJK is due to the failure of the international system to ensure justice and freedom on an equitable basis”. “The international community needs to open its eyes on what is happening in IIOJK and act fast to hold India accountable for its war crimes,” the KDC said.
The KDC said the military occupation Kashmir is pursuing state terrorism to make people surrender their right to self-determination. “The Indian occupation regime has intensified its terror policy in IIOJK, killing and injuring innocent people, raiding and looting the public properties, and is also indulged in abducting innocent people, bulldozing, and burning homes and other properties of people in IOK on trumped-up charges, a clear violation of the Geneva Conventions and universal human rights. Only a rogue state can pursue such a policy,” said the KDC, adding, “no way can the Indian military succeed in its nefarious designs to break the will of people of Jammu and Kashmir to make them surrender.”
KDC called upon the United Nations to implement Security Council resolutions giving the people of Jammu and Kashmir the right to self-determination… The Kashmir Diaspora Coalition (KDC), an international umbrella of Kashmiri diaspora organizations, was formally launched as a coalition of diaspora organizations following three day-meeting held in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, in October 2022. The KDC is chaired by Dr. Ghulam Nabi Mir, who is President of Washington-based World Kashmir Awareness Forum.
