ISLAMABAD - Former interior minister Rehman Malik yesterday burnt the Indian presidential order that scrapped the decades-old special status of held Kashmir to mark the Youm-e-Istehsal (day of exploitation).
Speaking at a news conference along with a group of Kashmiri leaders here, the senior leader of the Pakistan People’s Party set on fire the Indian presidential order of revoking Article 370 and 35A to convey a message to the world that the people of Kashmir do not accept Indian malicious moves. Malik, who is also the Chairman of the Institute of Research and Reforms, said that Kashmiris were the most oppressed nation and Indian PM Narendra Modi is the biggest terrorist in the world.
Senator Rehman Malik said that this day in 2019, PM Modi violated 11 resolutions of UNSC by scrapping Articles 370 and 35A and for demographic changes in Indian Illegally Occupied Kashmir, Narendra Modi’s government amended domicile Policy to settle RSS extremists there. He said that the state of Jammu and Kashmir is turned into a prison by the Indian forces and valley of massacre. He said that according to the UN Human Rights Commission report, from January 1989 till 31st January 2018, 94,700 Kashmiris were killed, 8,000 were killed in custody, 11,050 women were gang-raped and 7,485 were injured by pellets by Indian forces.
Malik said that Indian government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi has committed unprecedented brutalities against innocent Kashmiris in terms of mass murders, mass blinding, enforced disappearances, torture, rapes, political repression, and suppression of freedom of speech. He said that Indian Government has been violating the global treaties by not allowing Human Rights Bodies to access Kashmir. Under PM Modi, Indian Government has crossed all the limits of brutality but the international community, especially the United Nations, has failed to resolve the issue of Kashmir, he added. He said that it is the responsibility of the UN and international community to come forward and stop repression of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. The PPP senior leader said: “I have been demanding the government to move in ICJ and ICC against PM Narendra Modi for his crimes against humanity and today once again demand to drag Modi in International Court of Justice.
