Brutal actions, sinister plots can’t defeat freedom struggle of Kashmiris

ISLAMABAD: New Delhi is employing every coercive technique and concocting evil schemes to silence the freedom voice of the people in Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, but the Kashmiris are determined to thwart every Indian scheme and continue their fight in spite of all odds.

The people of IIOJK are being denied basic rights by India, the so-called largest democracy in the world, and in an effort to subdue them, its army and other forces have increased raids, arrests, and cordon-and-search operations. The most recent event in this series was the G20 Tourism Working Group meeting in Srinagar, which was organized by the Modi regime in an effort to weaken the Kashmiris’ resolve for freedom.

However, Modi and his henchmen must remember that popular movements like the one going on in IIOJK can’t be defeated by military oppression. India must also know that by staging international events and arranging guided tours to IIOJK, it can neither hide the reality nor make the Kashmiris relent in their pursuit for freedom. The Kashmiri people are well aware that such moves are just a farce and aimed at spreading mere propaganda.

India can’t stop the IIOJK people’s march for freedom by gagging their voices of dissent and resorting to nefarious tactics as they are united to defeat every Hindutva design in the occupied territory. They are demanding their right to self-determination as guaranteed by the UN resolutions and the day is not far off when they will get their birth right and break the shackles of Indian slavery.

At the same time, the world community, including the UN and big powers, must not remain unresponsive from what is happening in IIOJK as they are duty-bound to stop India’s brazen violations of international laws in Kashmir and use their clout to let Kashmiris speak what they want.
