President of Azad Jammu and Kashmir Raja Zulqarnan Khan and Prime Minister Sardar Muhammad Yaqoob Khan have said that Indian claim of largest democracy of the world has failed to deliver and its image has been by its hegemonic policies.
They said this in their messages broadcasting on all three-radio stations of Azad Kashmir on the occasion of Indian republic day on 26th January while the Kashmiri people observe this day as black day every year due to continuous Indian denial from giving Kashmiri people their birth right, right of self-determination as it was promised by India 61 years ago.
AJK President Raja Zulqarnan said that Indian 800,000 Armed Forces could not deter Kashmiri people from their demand of right to self-determination despite of using all kinds of brutal force. Some 90,000 Kashmiri men, women and children have been martyred by Indian Armed forces, which is worst human violations of the history, he added.
He called upon the Indian leadership to give up its hegemonic policy and move forward to settle down the Kashmir issue in accordance with the UN resolutions and the wishes of the Kashmiri people so that lasting peace in the region could be made possible. AJK Prime Minister Sardar Muhammad Yaqoob Khan said that India could not suppress the will of the Kashmiri people as it is using the brutal acts for last more than 20 years. Kashmiri people remained firm for their birth right and the
Indian ruthless massacre of Kashmiri people could not get rid over Kashmiri people, he added. He called upon the UN and international human rights organisations including Amnesty International and Asia Watch to take stock of gross human rights violations in Indian Held Kashmir by Indian occupational troops and asked to put pressure on India to stop massacre of Kashmiri people which he said is stigma on Indian democracy.
