ISLAMABAD: Chairperson of the Peace and Culture Organization and wife of the detained Kashmir’s leader Yasin Malik, criticized India’s attempts to undermine the Kashmiri people’s spirit and right to self-determination.
She said that despite India’s unilateral move to revoke Jammu and Kashmir’s special status on August 5, 2019, and its subsequent oppressive measures, the Kashmiri resolve remains unshaken.
Mullick called on the international community and human rights organizations to impose bans on organizations like the RSS, which she accused of terrorism.
She highlighted global and domestic discussions regarding India’s actions post-August 5, including efforts to resettle non-state residents and retired military personnel in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
She criticized India’s leasing of Kashmiri land to foreigners and its portrayal of normalcy in the region, asserting that these moves are part of a broader strategy to alter the region’s demographic and political landscape.
Mullick also condemned the direct control exerted by the New Delhi government over religious, tourist, and forest lands, alongside the deprivation of job quotas and the sealing of Kashmiri bank accounts.
Mullick accused India of violating international laws and committing severe human rights abuses in IIOJK. She refuted allegations that Kashmiris targeted tourists, contrasting this with the RSS’s promotion of religious extremism.
She noted that recent elections saw Kashmiri people reject leaders supportive of Indian policies, reflecting a worsening situation in IIOJK compared to the past. She urged both Pakistani and Kashmiri communities to amplify their voices against Indian aggression.
Furthermore, Mullick pointed out that post-August 5 legislation targeting minorities and advancing the RSS and Hindutva ideologies exacerbated the situation.
She claimed that India’s narrative is crumbling and that global opinions on human rights in IIOJK are shifting, with increased criticism from the United States and other countries.
