The Kashmir issue is the biggest hindrance to normalize peaceful relationships and harmonious accord between Pakistan and India, causing them two wars in 1965 and 1971. Because of the geographical importance of Kashmir, India occupied its land after the partition of the subcontinent in 1947.
The US resolutions of August 13, 1948 and January 5, 1949, accepted that there should be a plebiscite under the UN to resolve the issue. Pakistan favoured the viewpoint of giving Kashmiris freedom and liberty about their future choice.
The two countries pulled back from the brink of war in February last year after Pakistan returned an Indian pilot it had downed and captured in the disputed Himalayan region of Kashmir.
Not less than 60 civilians have been killed and more than 280 wounded since 2019 due to Indian shelling into Pakistan-administered Kashmir, according to Pakistani government data, which also revealed that the death toll rose by 114 percent compared with the year before.
Students in Kashmir were missing school for the last six months. A shutdown coupled with a communications blockade in Kashmir also hit education in the valley. The attendance in schools slowly picked up since October but it was not satisfactory.
During these days, India is attempting to suppress the voice of Kashmiri people and their liberation movement using the power of forces. Kashmiris are undergoing severe psychological and incredible physical conditions, particularly curfew, threatening, rapes, torturing, violations, injustice, distortion, and disruption. Indian forces disrespected their cultural values and social norms and destroyed their economic, religious, political rights and trying to assign them the title of “religious fanaticism”.
The current situation in Indian occupied Kashmir is heart bursting and totally against human and humanity, which demands from UNO to play an active role for their freedom, who made the unending struggle since 1947 for their human rights.
Therefore, it is the moral duty of the International Community to play their role for the freedom and rights of innocent Kashmiris from the brutal, cruel, unjust and dictator actions of India army. The international community must put pressure on India for ensuring due rights to minorities.
The Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan, had warned that India’s decision to revoke Kashmir’s special status would lead to greater religion-fuelled bloodshed in the region.
There is a problem in India by denying the Kashmiris of their just right to self-determination was also violating the Charter of United Nations, which was created on the philosophy of promoting peace in the world.
