Mushaal Mullick lambasts the UN for dragging its feet on holding a free & fair plebiscite in Kashmir over the past 77 years

ISLAMABAD, Jan 05 (SABAH): Chairperson Peace and Culture organisation Mushaal Hussein Mullick lambasted the United Nations for dragging its feet on holding a free and fair plebiscite in Kashmir over the past 77 years, leaving the Kashmiris at the mercy of bloodthirst Indian forces, who unleashed a reign of terror and committed war crimes to stifle the dissenting voices in the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).

Mushaal Mullick, a wife of unlawfully incarcerated Hurriyat leader Muhammad Yasin Malik, in her message on Right to Self-Determination Day observed Kashmiris on both sides of the Line of Control and across the globe on January 5, urged global powers to honour their commitments to the Kashmiri people because the denial of self-determination has brought death, destruction, and devastation to people of Kashmir.

The chairperson stated that today, Kashmir was at the brink of genocide and Kashmir had become the hell for the people of Kashmir.

She vowed that that a UN-supervised plebiscite remained the only just solution and sole panacea to the Kashmir dispute, as anything short of that would be injustice to people of Kashmir and peace in entire South Asia would remain elusive and a distant.

The chairperson urged that it was high time, the UN should step up and facilitate the promised plebiscite sans any further delay to prevent further suffering of Kashmiri people and avoid possible Pak-India war.

Mushaal Mullick lamented that Kashmiris have been robbed of their basic human rights for far too long and Indian brutal forces were committing war crimes and genocidal acts but UN, world powers and human rights organisations turned a blind eye to the plight of the Kashmiris that threatened the world peace. The chairperson emphasized that despite the occupation troops’ relentless efforts to alter the demographic landscape of Kashmir through ethnic cleansing, the brave Kashmiris have kept the flame of resistance burning bright.

Mushaal Mullick reminded the UN its over dozens of promises and resolutions passed regarding resolution of Kashmir dispute over the past over seven decades and questioned the world powers’ deaf and dumb approach to honour their own commitment to ensure resolution of Kashmir conflict. She emphasized that the Kashmiri people were facing immense suffering, with daily martyrdoms, hundreds of thousands unlawfully detained in jails, and women being harassed by Indian forces with impunity. Ironically, the UN, world powers, and human rights organizations seemed oblivious to the relentless bloodbath and human rights abuses perpetrated by Indian forces in the valley.

Mushaal Mullick appealed to the international community to halt the ongoing genocide of Kashmiris and press India to resolve the dispute in accordance with UN resolutions. The Hurriyat leader emphasized that the only choice before them was to come to negotiating table with Pakistan and genuine leadership of Kashmiri people so that acceptable solution to this longstanding problem was found as per UN resolutions.
