‘Repression of people under occupation gravest form of terrorism’: Pakistan responds to India at UNGA – World

Pakistan, in a strongly worded reprimand to the Indian response after Prime Minister Imran Khan's speech at the United Nations General Assembly, called on the Indian government for its continued repression of the people in occupied Jammu and Kashmir, which he said "equals in the most serious way. " of terrorism. "

"Let me remind the Indian delegation of the position of 120 members of the non-aligned movement that the repression of persons under occupation amounted to the most serious form of terrorism and should be denounced as such," said Zulqarnain Chheena, representative of Pakistan in the forum. , on Saturday.

"It is obvious that India does not want to face the truth about its abominable policies and actions nor does it want others to see it."

"It is strange that a country that has been involved in state terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir occupied for more than 30 years has the temerity to accuse others of terrorism," Cheena said.

Earlier on Saturday, India responded to the Prime Minister's UNGA speech, accusing Pakistan of "building a terrorism industry from the ideology of hate."

In today's refutation of the Indian statement, the representative of Pakistan said that such statements were "quite rich" from a country whose "commander of naval officers Kulbhushan Jadhav was captured with his hands in the mass for espionage, sabotage and terrorism" . He asked how such a country could "have the common sense of calling the victim as the perpetrator."

"A country that is under the tight control of the fascist RSS, which was banned three times in India on terrorism-related charges, has the audacity to point the finger at others," he added.

In the statement of the Indian representative yesterday, accusations were also launched against Pakistan for its treatment of minorities.

Pakistan, in its response today, reminded the forum that India, instead of directing its questions to Pakistan, should "seek answers from the perpetrators of the Samjhota terrorist attack that were acquitted earlier this year."

"India should seek answers from the murderers of Pehlu Khan, who was killed in cold blood for transporting cattle by a violent mob of cow watchers in 2017," Chheena said, reading the answer.

"India should seek answers from the intellectual authors of the Gujrat program in 2002, whose political fortune has flourished while innocent victims shudder in pain and misery."

The representative of Pakistan told the forum that "the common threat behind these and countless other incidents is that the victim has had the misfortune of being against the power of the Hindutva onslaught that encompasses everything."

Pakistan also drew attention to the fact that India, despite promoting claims that it had "eliminated an obsolete and temporary provision" (article 370 of its constitution), and proclaiming its "millenary heritage of diversity, pluralism and tolerance ", had failed to include even a superficial mention of the plight of the people of occupied Kashmir.

"The Indian representative did not deliberately mention the complete and cruel communications blackout in the occupied territory. Nor did she mention the plight of innocent Kashmirs who have been forced to live for the last 53 days without food or essential supplies. 53 days without the information on the well-being of family and friends. 53 days of total darkness and a fear of the unknown without end in sight.

"Instead, they treated us with a fable that the illegal Indian annexation of the occupied territory was aimed at removing obstacles to the development of the occupied territory."

Pakistan questioned a "novel model" in which stakeholders in the so-called development are locked up.

"If, in fact, the actions taken are so well intended for the people of Jammu and Kashmir, I ask the Indian representative: Why does the Indian state not allow the people of Kashmir to come out and express their feelings? Why India Are you so afraid? "asked the representative of Pakistan.

"Does India have the moral courage to respond to the findings of the reports of the Office of the United Nations High Commission on Human Rights (UNOHCHR) on occupied Jammu and Kashmir that have documented a litany of Indian barbaric oppression in the territory occupied?" asked more.

"If not, the crunchy Indian defense is nothing more than a farce that perpetuates itself."

"The central reality of all this, Mr. President, is the grave humanitarian and human rights situation in occupied Jammu and Kashmir and the denial of the fundamental right of self-determination promised to Kashmir by India, Pakistan and the international community enshrined in the 11 Resolutions of the Security Council, "he concluded.
