ISLAMABAD: Azad Jammu Kashmir President Sardar Masood Khan criticised the silence across the world pertaining to atrocities in Indian held Kashmir (IHK) on Human Rights Day, which is being observed on Sunday.
While addressing a human rights event at the Kashmir House, Masood Khan remarked that half a century has passed yet the United Nations has failed to fulfil its promise to give Kashmiris the right to self-determination.
India has been oppressing the people in IHK and world’s silence over the issue is condemnable. “Human rights are being continuously violated in IHK.”
He remarked that the people of IHK have been rendered homeless in their own country.
On December 4, Sardar Masood Khan had said that Pakistan is incomplete without Kashmir while speaking in Washington.
Kashmir has its identity rooted in Pakistan – the two are inseparable, said Sardar Masood while addressing a gathering of Pakistani American community at the Pakistan Embassy, Washington DC.
He had remarked that the world must strongly condemn the brutalities perpetrated by Indian security forces in the Kashmir valley.
The voice of the Kashmiri people would never be suppressed as the next generation of Kashmiris have taken it upon themselves to secure their freedom from Indian oppression, he had said.
