Mushaal Hussein Mullick, a human rights activist and the wife of Kashmiri leader Yasin Malik, has called upon the youth to raise their voice at all platforms including social media for the rights and freedom of Kashmiris who are facing unabated brutalities in the occupied valley.
"Indians are very active throughout the world in black propaganda against the Kashmiris freedom movement, so we must all join hands to counter it and keep bringing the truth to the light," said Mushaal while addressing a seminar organised by the Government College University Lahore Quaid-e-Azam Political Science Society (GCU QPSS) in connection with the Kashmir Solidarity Day on Friday.
Vice Chancellor Professor Dr Hassan Amir Shah, QPS President Momin Yaar Khalid and Rida Nabi Butt, a Kashmiri student, also addressed the seminar attended by a large number of faculty members who also later passed resolution after Friday prayers to express solidarity with Kashmiri people.
Mushaal said India had literally snatched the right of life from Kashmiris, and there was a curfew like situation in the valley on daily basis; even little children were subjected to violence and torture by Indian armed forces during search operations. "My one year old daughter was manhandled by the Indian army," Mushaal revealed.
The human rights activist believed that India deserved to be immediately declared a terrorist state over brutal genocide of innocent Muslims in the occupied valley. However, she said, now leaders of the world were business leaders who only watched their economic interests. "Mortality and human rights literally means nothing to them," she added.
She paid glowing tributes to Kashmiri women, saying they were the most oppressed in the world; they were harassed in every street of the valley by Indian armed forces. "Most of them were physically assaulted or raped but yet they are still fighting for their rights and freedom," She added.
Mushaal told the students the prosperity and peace of whole region was linked to the peaceful resolution of Kashmiri. "All the water of Pakistan came from Kashmir, and if this freedom movement dies, India would never let Pakistan to have its water," she added.
Speaking on the occasion, Vice Chancellor Professor Dr Hassan Amir Shah strongly condemned the atrocities committed by Indian armed forces against the innocent Kashmiris. "We salute the people of Jammu and Kashmir for showing resilience and steadfastness towards the ongoing struggle for attainment of their right to self-determination," he added.
The VC also expressed solidarity and sympathy with the families of those whose dear ones have been brutally murdered, and those whose sons were languishing in various jails across India. "We urge the international community and the human rights organizations to build pressure on India so that the ever-rising war crimes and relentless human rights abuses are stopped forthwith in Kashmir," Professor Shah said.
The Vice Chancellor believed that the Kashmir dispute earnestly needed a peaceful resolution in accordance with the UN Security Council resolutions and the demands of the people of Kashmir to provide the right to self-determination to the people of Kashmir. "It is essential for bringing stability in South Asia so that the immense human potential of the region is realized," he concluded.
Rida Nabi Butt told the audience about her personal experience of witnessing violence and bloodshed in Kashmir.
