Islamabad, September 05, 2023 (PPI-OT):Special Assistant to Pakistan Prime Minister on Human Rights and Women Empowerment, Mushaal Hussein Mullick, discussed the plight of people of the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) with Caretaker Foreign Minister of Pakistan, Jalil Abbas Jilani, threadbare.
Mushaal Mullick along with her daughter, Razia Sultana, called on Jalil Abbas Jilani in Islamabad, today (Tuesday). She apprised the Caretaker Foreign Minister that Razia Sultana could not meet her father senior Hurriyat leader Yasin Malik for the last over eight and half years who was detained in fake, fabricated and politically motivated cases in New Delhi’ Tihar jail.
During the meeting, they discussed ways to enhance collaboration between the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Human Rights, and increase global awareness about the human rights violations by Indian troops in IIOJK. They agreed on making concerted efforts to promote and ensure a peaceful settlement of the Kashmir dispute in accordance with the relevant UN Security Council resolutions and the wishes of the Kashmiri people. Both the leaders held discussion on highlighting at the international level the ongoing worst human rights violations in the occupied territory.
Mushaal Mullick said the fascist Narendra Modi-led Indian government has turned the scenic Kashmir valley into a world largest open prison and the largest torture cell. She highlighted that the Indian forces’ personnel continue to perpetrate heinous crimes in IIOJK, including extrajudicial executions, custodial killings and cordon-and-search operations, the use of pellet guns to kill, maim and blind peaceful protestors as well as the abduction and enforced disappearance of Kashmiri youth.
The SAPM stated that gravity of the situation could be judged from the fact that the Indian authorities incarcerated the entire Hurriyat leadership including her husband Yasin Malik, who were being subjected to brutal and inhumane treatment and were denied right to fair trial for their sole crime for not accepting the Indian subjugation. Moreover, she said that the RSS-inspired BJP regime has initiated illegal demographic changes in IIOJK and new domicile rules had been introduced to settle Hindus in the territory to convert the Muslim majority region into a minority.
Mushaal stated that there would be no peace in South Asia until the Kashmir dispute was peacefully resolved as per the UN-agreed formula. Therefore, she underscored that a just and lasting solution to the Kashmir conflict was essential for durable regional peace and stability. She asked the Caretaker Foreign Minister to take up the Kashmir dispute at global stage more vociferously so as to put an end on the vicious cycle of the state terrorism and release the incarcerated Kashmiri leadership and innocent Kashmiri youth, besides building pressure on the world powers and the UN bodies to ensure permanent solution to the decades-old dispute.
