78 years of India’s occupation of Kashmir

78 years of India’s occupation of Kashmir

 ISLAMABAD: 78 years have past since India’s illegal occupation on the Jamu and Kashmir.

It was 27th of October 1948, when the Indian-army on the call of Maharaja of Kashmir, Hari Singh, made a forces entry in the valley and carried out an illegal occupation.

A war over Kashmir began between India and Pakistan after just a year of the division of the Sub-continent.

The tribal people of the northern areas and the Kashmiris  fought the Kashmir war with valor and bravery and freed the western part of Kashmir (Now AJK).

However, some 80 percent of Kashmir’s territory is also under India’s unjustified control and remain a dispute between the two countries.

Flustered with the reaction of the Kashmiris and Pakistan, India rushed to the Security Council of the United Nation for the ceasefire.

India, revealing a confession to the right to the self-determination, promised a plebiscite in the Jamu and Kashmir.

However, no this promise has not been fulfilled to this day.

Moreover, on 5th August 2019. The Indian Supreme Court made an amendment in the constitution by cancelling the integral position of Kashmir and removing Section 370 and 35 A.

This move has caused a major controversy and strain in the entire region escalating tensions between the two nuclear states.

India, in order to strengthen its occupation on Kashmir, is settling non-Kashmiris in the valley in order to carry out a change in the demography of Jamu and Kashmir.

The people of Jamu and Kashmir raised weapons against the state-terrorism carried out by the Indian armed forces in Kashmir in 1990.

However, India has been defaming the freedom movement of the Kashmiri people who have never accepted Indian occupation.

Till date, nearly half a million innocent Kashmiris have been brutally killed by the Indian armed forces on the name of anti-terrorism.

Over 100,000 women have been raped by Indian Army and Police.

Pakistan has a clear stance that the dispute of Jamu and Kashmir remains a boiling-point between the two nuclear powers.

The dispute is a massive threat for billions of the people of entire region.

The dispute of Jamu and Kashmir should be resolved in accordance to the resolutions of the United Nation’s security Council.
