Honorable
Chairman
Honorable
Members of the OIC Contact Group on Jammu Kashmir
Excellencies,
On behalf of the suffering but determined masses of Indian
occupied Jammu Kashmir I, as their representative wish to express my profound
gratitude to OIC in general and the brotherly member states of the Contact
Group in particular ,for the unwavering support to our just and legitimate
struggle for the realization of U.N guaranteed right to self determination..
We are hopeful that this commitment shall touch new heights
with each passing day. In Shaa Allah.
Excellencies,
People of Jammu Kashmir, from day one, have been waging a
persistent struggle against the occupying power to achieve this goal, but India
emboldened by the criminal silence of some champions of freedom, human rights
and human dignity, has devised a strategy of carrot and stick...economic
packages and cultural aggression, demographic change and farcical elections and
a policy of Catch and kill in the occupied territory to consolidate its
occupation. Though India has left no stone unturned to change the Muslim
majority complexion of the state, yet all such Indian efforts have proved to be
an exercise in futility.
Excellencies
India rules Jammu Kashmir through stooges brought to power
through a military exercise in the name of elections. Military and para
military forces run the show, they are equipped with sophisticated weapons and
provided with a legal cover to kill, arrest and molest under the draconian
Armed Forces Special Powers Act, they are answerable to none.
Innocent Youth of the
disputed territory are dubbed as "Suspicious" and killed in fake
encounters to earn Reward Money. This state of affairs has multiplied the
number of orphans, disappeared persons and half widows in the disputed
territory. 6 thousand mass graves, 10
thousand plus disappearances, same number of molestations and more than 94
thousand martyrs ask the U.N and the so called custodians of world peace, what is
the required threshold to awaken world conscience is? How many more bodies, how
many more orphans, half widows, burnt villages, mass graves and how many more
disappearances?
Excellencies
Life imprisonment for a freedom loving Kashmiri does not
mean 14-20 years in jail but imprisonment till death. There are many Kashmiri
youth awaiting this fate.
A Kashmiri youth Muhammad Afzal Guru was hanged in Delhi in
2013 to satisfy the collective conscience of Indian masses (there was no
concrete evidence against him).This year also there were protests in Jawahar
Lal Nehru University Delhi and many other Indian Universities to mark his
judicial murder. Authorities slapped sedition charges on student protestors.
Pro Kashmir and pro "justice for kashmir"voices are coming from within India, which augers
well for the ongoing struggle for self determination.
Excellency
Hurriyet Chairman Syed Ali Geelani and his colleagues could
not participate in this meeting because they have not been issued passports.
They are detained or under house arrest and thus their freedom of movement and
speech has been curtailed. This confinement has badly effected the health of
ailing Geelani.
Excellencies
We have a legitimate right to protest against occupation
till, by the grace of Allah and your support, we achieve our goal. India needs
to understand that those who resisted the British to achieve freedom from the
colonial power, were neither terrorists & separatists nor fundamentalists.
Today when we resist Indian occupation, how can we be dubbed as terrorists,
separatists and fundamentalists. Asking for implementation of UNSC resolutions
is neither fundamentalism nor terrorism. We are the inhabitants of a recognised
disputed territory, how can we be called Separatists.
Excellencies
Our three generations have suffered immensely. We want a
better, bright and secure future for posterity. We, the people of Jammu Kashmir,
look towards OIC to come forward and make the world realize that peace is
always linked with justice. Injustices breed insecurity, tension and wars. It
is my firm belief that peace, prosperity and stability in South Asia and the
entire world hinges on the peaceful and just solution of Kashmir and Palestine
issues in accordance with the relevant UNSC resolutions which provide the basic
frame work and the Road map.
I once again thank you Excellencies
