‘Indian Troops Committing Gross Human Rights Violations In IHK’
7 June 2009
Geneva - The Executive Director of Kashmir Institute of International Relations, Sardar Amjad Yousuf has said that Indian troops are committing gross human rights violations in occupied Kashmir. Sardar Amjad Yousuf, was addressing a seminar on the sidelines of 11th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva. He said that more than seven hundred thousand troops deployed by India in the occupied territory were engaged at large-scale in the killing and disappearances of Kashmiri people. He deplored that India did not investigate the discovery of unnamed mass graves in occupied Kashmir, despite several pleas from the international human rights organizations. Apprising the participants of the seminar about stepped up Indian state terrorism, he said that the detention of Hurriyet leaders had become a routine matter, which should be stopped immediately. He also informed them about the situation in the aftermath of killing of two women in Shopian. » US support can help resolve Kashmir dispute: Shawl The Executive Director of Kashmir Centre London, Professor Nazir Ahmed Shawl has said that diplomatic input of the United States can help in developing a constructive engagement between India, Pakistan and the people of Kashmir to resolve the Kashmir dispute and strengthen peace in South Asia. Professor Shawl, in a letter to the US President, Barack Hussain Obama in response to his speech at the University of Cairo, hoped that the US would render its full support to the aspirations of the people of Kashmir and play its role in the resolution of the oldest dispute on the United Nations’ agenda. Professor Shawl emphasised that the dialogue process could only end the hostility and assure peace in the world. “Coexistence is the core necessity for all nations and religions and that dialogue is necessary to end hostility, discrimination and the denial of rights, to determine a way forward,” he maintained. He agreed with the US President that the existent tensions in the Muslim world had been fed by colonialism that denied rights and opportunities to many Muslims, adding, Cold War, in which Muslim-majority countries were too often treated as proxies without regard to their aspirations. “Violent extremism of any form deserves condemnation and an overwhelming majority of people in the world vouch for peace and tranquillity. The interests we share as human beings are far more powerful than the forces that drive us apart,” he added. »
