Waza appeals international community to probe HR abuses, LOC killings
World safeguarding economic interests rather than humanity
SRINAGAR, Aug 30:
Jammu and Kashmir people’s league chairman, Mukhtar Ahmad Waza today
appealed international community to probe the human rights violations
committed by Indian troops and the killings on Line of Control that
have endangered the peaceful atmosphere of south Asian region.
Addressing Friday prayers in Anantnag district, Waza paid glowing
tributes to the martyrs of Kashmir and expressed solidarity with those
families whose near and dear ones laid their lives for the freedom of
the nation.
Referring to international day of disappeared persons, Waza said that
how pathetic and painful is it that despite passage of years, world
powers claiming to be respecting humanity all over the world have kept
dual standards over the issue of human rights abuses in the valley
since 1947. He said that people of the state have left no corner of
the world unaware about the human rights abuses done by Indian armed
forces but it seems that the humanity claimers are interested in
economy than human values.
Worst type of human rights violations ranging from tortures, extra
judicial killings to enforced disappearances took place in Kashmir and
due to suppression and oppression disappeared person’s families are
economic, psychological and social problems that need kind and
immediate attention towards these families.
Waza said that cold response and attention from the world community
has left kashmirs in dilemma and it seems that in this world there is
no one who can save kashmirs from the oppression of India.
Lashing out at India, Waza said that India is trying to curb the
ongoing freedom movement by using draconian laws and their forces are
enjoying the impunity to kill, harass and ransack the possession
without being questioned and the tragedy was that the burden of proof
shifts on the victims. He demanded early revocation of black laws and
probe by international community in the human rights violations done
by armed forces in the valley.
Commenting on the LOC tension, Waza said that incidents taking place
on the line of control are being observed by UN military observer
group besides latest technology like high definition cameras etc, so
it the duty of UN observe group to probe the killings incident if they
want to peace prevail in both countries. He appealed India and
Pakistan to stop blame game and provide space to international
community for a fair probe as the tension all along LOC can put both
the countries in trouble.
Waza appealed people to kept the freedom conscious alive and continue
to support the movement as the movement was the mission of martyrs
that will taken to its logical conclusion.
