Raipur: Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh Bhupesh Baghel while interacted with media at Raipur’s helipad and castigated Narendra Modi government over the selected killings of Kashmiri Pandits and Hindus in Jammu and Kashmir and deteriorating law and order situation in the valley.
It is pertinent to mention here that Modi’s claims that the situation in IIOJK is returning to normalcy is, in reality, rhetoric and lies for the outside world.
The apartheid Modi regime launched a massive and multi-front political, social and cultural onslaught on the Kashmiris. Erasing Kashmiris’ political identity, disempowering Muslim majority community to reduce them to second class citizens, turning them into a political minority, minimizing their role in political decision-making process are the most vivid signs and processes of genocide that should serve as an eye-opener for the world community.
UN office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) released two reports in 2018 and 2019 accusing India of grave human rights violations in Kashmir and called for the formation of a commission of inquiry into the allegations.
US has directly expressed uneasiness about a rising trend in human rights violations in India. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who released the report at the State Department’s Foggy Bottom headquarters on 02 June 2021 asserting that Washington will continue to defend religious freedom around the world, said the number of attacks on religious figures and places of worship in India has increased.
A certain section of the Kashmiri Pandit community under a nefarious agenda was ready to become pawns in the BJP’s chessboard of power and politics in India. However, a silent majority of Pandits within and outside the Kashmir Valley knew fully well how the right-wing forces were using them as pawns. Kashmiris have been killed, maimed, blinded, tortured, and forcibly disappeared by the Indian forces. The Indian government has held Kashmiris hostage by the dint of force. Modi is using colonial-era tactics to suppress the Kashmiris legitimate struggle. The recent Indian court’s verdict against JKLF Chairman Muhammad Yasin Malik is a politically-motivated agenda to silence the dissenting voices in the occupied territory. The international community particularly the United Nations must take effective notice of impending genocide of Muslims in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir. Web Desk
