London: Adv Rehana Ali, Information Secretary of Tehreek-e-Kashmir UK stated, “11th July 2023, Indian supreme court reviews Kashmir special status after four years due to petitions made by Kashmiri Muslims & Pandits against the abrogation of Article 370 & 35A in Jammu & Kashmir which confirms even their legal system believes laws can be revoked to list a case what ever the outcome,
I strongly believe Azad Jammu & Kashmir & Pakistan will take this matter further to raise awareness & justice for the innocent Kashmiris in an open jail in heaven made hell Kashmir under Indian occupation since 76yrs. I would add the right of self determination was passed with the consent of both the states on 5th January 1949 after India approached the United Nations on Ist Jan 1948 claiming his right on the state of Jammu & Kashmir being a dispute between India & Pakistan. Till present India denies plebiscite which it accepted for 18 UNSCR to be passed”.
Rehana further stated, “The question is if India accepted the self determination why it doesn’t accept the UNGA resolution passed on 3rd December 1982 with the universal principle of self determination, freedom & independence. In accordance with international humanitarian law, wars of national liberation have been expressly accepted, through the adoption of Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions of 1949 as a protected & essential right of occupied people everywhere. Point to be noted outdated sedition, invalid detention & illegal impunity laws can’t be imposed on occupied people especially under United Nations Security Council Resolution 47 which was accepted by both states at UN, Kashmiris can’t be considered Indian or Pakistani citizens till plebiscite. We expect India to reinstall A370 & 35A if India is the world’s largest democracy as it claims, till plebiscite is decided which India agreed”.
