Siraj urges UN to send special mission to IOK

Chief of Jamaat-e-Islami, Pakistan, Senator Sirajul Haq, has appealed to the UN Secretary General to send a special mission to Held Kashmir in order to stop the genocide of the Kashmiris by Indian occupation army.

While talking to the media at Mansoora on Sunday, he said the occupation army was using corona also as a weapon against the Kashmiris. For the last eight months, all hospitals, educational institutions and markets in Held Kashmir were closed and the Kashmiris were dying of starvation. On the occasion, the JI chief handed over anti corona spray machines to the Al-Khidmat Lahore chapter. JI's Focal person Azhar Iqbal Hasan, JI chief for central Punjab, Muhammad Javed Kasuri, central Punjab Al-Khidmat chief Ikram Durrani, and JI Information Secretary Qaisar Sharif, were present on the occasion.

Sirajul Haq said it was the responsibility of the UN, Human Rights bodies and also the OIC to raise voice against Indian brutalities in Held Kashmir. He warned that if the world community remained asleep, a big human tragedy may result in the valley.

The Pakistan government, he said, should approach international bodies, the UN and the OIC on the issue and raise an effective voice against Indian atrocities. He also urged the Pakistan government to support the UN Secretary General's demand for global cease fire. He said that Pakistan should especially demand the withdrawal of the Indian army from Kashmir.

Sirajul Haq noted that the Kashmiris were being subjected to physical as well as mental torture and thousands of them had been jailed. He said that lock down and corona virus was being used as a weapon which was a war crime. India, he said, had virtually ruined the economy of Held Kashmir. He said the Indian government, as a matter of policy, was not allowing any human rights bodies to interfere in Held Kashmir.

Referring to the situation within the country, Sirajul Haq said that the government's doors were closed for the poor and it was showing its performance only trough media propaganda. He said the allegations being exchanged between the federal government and the Sindh government as most unfortunate.

The JI chief said the government was paying giving Rs. 12 thousand only to those who were registered under the Benazir Income Support programme while it did not have the date of millions of other people not registered under the BISP.
