Peshawar, October 26, 2022 (PPI-OT): The people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Kashmir would observe October 27 as Black Day to strongly condemn the forced occupation of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) by India and would demand UN Security Council to implement its resolutions on Kashmir. Big protest demonstrations and rallies have been planned in all 35 districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa where people of KP would express solidarity with Kashmiris. They would raise placards and banners to protest against illegal and forced occupation of IIOJK by India.
The transport and rickshaw unions of Peshawar have planned big protest demonstration in front of Press Club in connection with the Day. Former Ambassador of Pakistan, Manzoor ul Haq told APP on Wednesday that the unlawful and illegal forced occupation of IIOJ and K by India was a clear violation of Pak-Indo partition plan, UN Charter and United Nations Security Council Resolutions (UNSC) besides International laws.
Despite 75 years forced occupation, he said India had completely failed to suppress the legitimate freedom movement of Kashmiris in the Held Valley. “The indigenous freedom movement in IIOJK has entered into decisive stage after unilateral and illegal actions taken by the fascist Modi government on August 5, 2019.” He said these illegal acts had exposed real face of the so-called secular state and proved that there was no room for minorities in India where Muslims and Kashmiris were being subjected to serious human rights abuses, extra judicial killings and state-terrorism.
Manzoor said August 5, 2019 illegal actions by India could not change the disputed status of IIOJ and K as it was an internationally recognized disputed territory and people of the held valley would decide about their future as promised to them by UNO through its Security Council resolutions. Ambassador Manzoor said August 5 illegal actions had put the peace of entire South Asia at stake and another war on Kashmir between two nuclear armed neighbours countries would prove disastrous for the entire region.
He said that these illegal actions had exposed India’s nefarious designs against oppressed Kashmiris as well as Modi government’s hegemonic expansionist policies through subjugation of minorities including Kashmiris through state terrorism. He said that India could neither change the disputed status of IIOJK as enshrined in UNSC resolutions, nor could it force Pakistan and Kashmiris to accept illegal outcomes, adding time is nearer when Kashmiris would get freedom from Indian yoke.
Professor Dr. H.R Hialali, former Chairman Political Science Department, University of Peshawar said that four wars had been fought between the two nuclear armed neighbouring countries on Kashmir and another war could prove disastrous for the entire South Asia and its devastating effects might go beyond this region. He said that the road to peace in subcontinent was passing through Kashmir and lasting peace and stability in the region could not be established unless resolution of this core issue as per wishes of Kashmiris.
