India Using Coronavirus As Instrument To Exterminate Kashmiris, World Must Wake Up – Shehbaz
PMLN President and National Assembly Opposition leader Shehbaz Sharif while paying rich tribute to the valour and sacrifices by the people of Indian Occupied Kashmir has said the reputation and authenticity of International Institutions won’t be established until the people of Kashmir get their right to self-determination and freedom from Indian tyranny.
Kahsmiris have been braving the inhumane and brutal Indian oppression through their faith and conviction. This illegal occupation of Kashmir is an open challenge and violation of all human rights conventions and UN resolutions, he said. He said unarmed innocent Kashmiris are laying down their lives every hour, waiting for the day the promised right of self-determination would be given to them.
Shehbaz said the new chapter of Prime Minister Naremdra Modi’s brutalities was unleashed on the 5th August 2019. From that day to this, he said, the people of Kashmir are reeling under the crushing curfew, lockdown and a total communication blackout under the racist extremist BJP government in open violation of all human rights.
He said that the assets and lands of the Kashmiris have been snatched away, and now their lives are being taken away while their loved ones watch helplessly and the civilized world continues being a silent spectator. On the one hand the occupying forces are martyring Kashmiris while on the other hand coronavirus has got them on the ropes, he added.
The PMLN President said Pakistan and Kashmir are tied together with a blood-bond and Quuid-e-Azam left no doubt by naming it the jugular vein of Pakistan. He expressed extreme alarm over the reports that the new coronavirus is spreading most viciously through the Indian Occupied Kashmir. Over 66 thousand people are being suspected of being infected with the fatal disease he said. With over 500 already confirmed with the virus, the Indian government is using covid-19 as a tool of exterminating all Kashmiris.
Shehbaz extended condolences to the families of those who have become a victim of India’s state terrorism. He paid rich tribute to the brave freedom leaders like Syed Ali Geelani, Yasin Malik, Mir Vaiz Umar Farooq and Asia Andrabi. He said these leaders have stated an unforgettable history of bravery and resistance with their perseverance and courage.
Shehbaz called on the International Bodies, UN, UNSC, UNHRC and international community at large to protect the basic human rights of the Kashmiris to be protected against the new coronavirus and Indian ethnic cleansing. He demanded that all civilians including politicians, women, children and minors must be released form jails.
Appreciating the statements given by Organization of Islamic Cooperation, he urged the OIC General Secretary Yusuf Bin Ahmed to take immediate steps to protect the lives of the Kashmiris from coronavirus and Indian massacres. The people of Kashmir have great expectations from the Muslim world, he said.
Shehbaz thanked the lawmakers of Britain, US and Europe for raising their voice and their efforts for the rights of the people of Indian Occupied Kashmir. He persuaded them to ensure implementation of the UN resolutions on Kashmir, send an independent investigation commission into Indian Occupied Kashmir and force India to end its lockdown and communications blackout of the valley.
Every living soul of Pakistan is standing with the people of Kashmir and will continue raising their voice and fighting for their rights at all forums, he said.
