World community should also pay attention on discriminated Indian behaviour against the Kashmiris
Brussels: Chairman of Kashmir Council Europe (KC-EU) Ali Raza Syed has urged the world community to also pay special attend on the violently discriminated behavior of Indian authorities against the oppressed people of occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
Condemning the brutal death of George Floyd by the US’ police, Ali Raza Syed in a press conference in Brussels said, let me began with condolence for George Floyd‘s death as saying that world must notice and react in same manner to brutalities committed by Indian security forces against oppressed people of Jammu and Kashmir and as well as discriminated behavior with the minorities in India.
Kashmir Council EU (KC-EU)’s Chair also presented a detail report regarding recent years’ activities of the council in the press conference held at European Press Brussels.
As last words of George Floyd, “I can’t breathe,” are slogans of the world’s protest against his brutal death in the police violence in Minneapolis, Minnesota, due to Indian atrocities, the people of occupied Kashmir are constantly not breathing for 74 years. Moreover, It is now 305 days as they are facing continued lockdown imposed by the Indian authorities after the Indian Modi’s regime annulled special status of Jammu and Kashmir and implemented restrictions on citizens’ rights in occupied territory of Jammu and Kashmir on 5th August 2020.
More than seven decades of Indian discriminated behavior and brutalities in occupied Jammu and Kashmir left people of this disputed region with no choice but to raise their voice through the peaceful protest.
I would like to pay a great homage to people of Jammu and Kashmir, who even after seven decades of repression, are still peaceful and continue their struggle is largely nonviolent, Ali Raza Syed added.
On other hand, there are many examples of discriminated Indian behavior and brutal actions in these seven decades in Occupied Kashmir. On 19 May, 2020, 15 houses of the innocent civilians were completely destroyed by the Indian forces under the garb of a military operation at Nawakadal area of Srinagar, the capital city of Indian occupied Kashmir.
In another fresh incident, a body of a 14 year innocent boy namely Hazim Bhat suffering from delayed milestone was found near a shooting site in Handwara area of occupied Kashmir where Indian military forces retaliated to killing of its three armed forces a month ago. Furthermore, a 22 year youth namely Peer Mehrajuddin was shot dead by armed forces for allegedly not stopping at a check point at Narabal of Budgam area. In another incident, the Indian occupation forces tortured many people and destroyed their properties at Nasrullahpora locality in Budgam area.
Chair of KC-EU said, it is highly praiseworthy that when police’s brutality occurred in the United States, the EU high representative Josep Borrel issued a statement for shock but when such discriminated conducts happen by Indian forces against armless people in occupied Kashmir and against minorities in rest of India, he remains numb silent. Why Mr Borrell did not issue a statement against Indian security forces brutalities. Ali Raza Syed said, we demand EU to speak out loudly against Indian state fascism against the people in occupied Kashmir and against the minorities in India.
Chair of KC-EU also expressed his gratitude to Chair of Sub-Committee of human rights of the European Parliament for sending a letter to Indian home minister for protesting over discrimination against the minorities of that country and a letter of 15 MEPs to EU’s Commission President and Vice President urging them to raise issue of human rights violations in Kashmir with Indian authorities.
