On HR Day, Naqash reminds world of Kashmiris’ plight



On the occasion of Human Rights Day, observed every year on December 10, Senior Hurriyat Conference leader and Head of Islamic Political Party, Muhammad Yusuf Naqash reminded world community of its obligations to stop India from committing gross human rights violations in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
Human Rights Day is observed every year on 10 December — the day the United Nations General Assembly adopted, in 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).
The UDHR proclaims the inalienable rights that everyone is entitled to as a human being – regardless of race, colour, religion, sex, language, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.
“It is the responsibility of influential countries and the United Nations, to bring India to justice for killings innocent people, fake encounters, curtailing the freedom of expression and seizing assets of Kashmiris under draconian laws,” Naqas said in a statement received here Saturday.  
He reminded the world that there has been an area on the earth called Jammu and Kashmir, which has been suffering from Indian oppression and brutality for decades.
He said Modi regime was making efforts to prevent Kashmiris from achieving their legitimate rights. He said, India was trying its best to intimidate Kashmiris and has also planned their massacre, citing arming of the Sangh Parivar as clear proof of this. 
He said that the bloody game that Modi’s fascist government was going to play all across India, especially in Kashmir, would destroy peace in South Asia.  
He said, it was very unfortunate that India has continuously been violating international commitments and has trampled United Nations resolutions on Kashmir.
He was optimistic that India failure was certain as it could not subjugate Kashmiris for over seven decades despite use of brute force and the future would be the same. 
Struggle to continue despite all odds
Meanwhile, APHC leader, Mushtaq Hussain Geelani, in a statement here Saturday said that India through use of brute force could not compel Kashmiris to leave their just struggle for freedom. 
On the occasion of Human Rights Day, the APHC leader said India cannot stop Kashmiris from continuing their struggle for right to self-determination. He said, the human rights violations by India on daily basis tantamount to war crimes and asked the United Nations and other influential countries to break their meaningful silence to stop India from committing such crimes.
He said that the nefarious but futile efforts that India has been making to deprive Kashmiris of their legitimate right to self-determination will lead to nowhere but to its complete failure. “Kashmiris have been victims of Indian brutality for more than seventy five years and not a day passes when we do not have to carry dead bodies of our loved ones,” he said adding however they are determined to continue their struggle come what may. 
He said, indiscriminate arrests, fake encounters and extra-judicial killings, suppression of freedom of expression, molestation of women, grabbing of properties under the guise of so-called laws could not stop Kashmiris from continuing their struggle. “Kashmiris are not afraid of India and its ruthless Kashmiri collaborators. The day is not far when Kashmiris will achieve the goal of freedom from India,” he added.
