Waza anguished over the HR Violations perpetrated by India forces

Appealed international community to shun double standards

Srinagar, December 9, 2013

Jammu Kashmir Peoples League Chairman, Mukhtar Ahmad Waza on the eve of International human rights day expressed deep shock and anguish over the continuous serious rights violations committed by the Indian forces, in particular ghastly killings of innocent people in the state.

Waza in a statement said that it is the responsibility of international community which is observing the day and protecting the rights globally must shun the double standards that they have maintained towards Kashmir and should come forward for pressurizing India to stop the rights violations which are taking place by the hands of Indian armed forces.

“After sixty-seven years of enforcing a military occupation on the people of Kashmir, one of the governments of India’s worst fears is now being realized. Nourished by memories of years of violent repression in which torture, innocent killing, molestation, and enforced disappearances have become commonplace the people of Kashmir are reacting only with non-violent protests. India must realize that despite the huge effort that they put into repressing the people of Kashmir the people are no closer to accepting their occupation than they were in 1947 when they first occupied the land.” Waza said.

He urged the international community to impress upon India for immediate stop to its ongoing systematic human rights violations, and added that people of the Kashmir will continue its struggle till the achievement of right to self determination.

He condemned unabated serious crimes, torture, extra-judicial killings, custodial deaths and disappearances, fake encounters, arbitrary detentions, destruction of houses, shops and villages, and rape as instruments of suppression by the Indian Government through its military, paramilitary forces and mercenaries.

He said that it is irony that India armed forces under the cover of draconian laws are no were accountable for the crimes they have done are doing, so world community to should also take a serious note of the silence enforced by Indian army guns which is being presented as a peace and prosperity at international level by the India.

Waza said that JKPL would support all such efforts, which would be directed towards the permanent resolution of the Kashmir dispute. “The longstanding dispute should be resolved according to the aspirations of the people through tripartite dialogue process including Pakistan, India and the real leadership of Kashmiris.” He said.

He also said that the people of Jammu and Kashmir have given uncounted sacrifices for the peaceful resolution of Kashmir so they will continue to fight politically and will not hesitate in offering more sacrifices.
