By Muslim Mirror Staff,
As Kashmir continues to boil intermittingly if not continuously for the past seven decades, no side is ready to admit their mistake. Pakistan’s ‘jugular vein’ and India’s ‘integral part’ has lost more than one lakh lives in last 3 decades but both sides claim to be well wishers of the bleeding valley.
WikiLeaks cables are reported to contain material stating that the International Committee of the Red Cross briefed US officials in India, alleging that India “condoned” torture and that “sexual penetration” formed part of the maltreatment of victims in Indian part of Kashmir.
The ICRC alleged that of the 1296 detainees interviewed, 681 had reported of being tortured. Of those, 304 individuals complained of sexual torture/abuse.
The UN human rights Commission has also repeatedly called for an international investigation into abuses in Kashmir committed by both India and Pakistan in the disputed territory.
A few months earlier Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein the commission’s chief said he would urge the Human Rights Council, which opens a new session next week, “to consider establishing a Commission of Inquiry (COI) to conduct a comprehensive independent international investigation into allegations of human rights violations in Kashmir”.
“Alleged sites of mass graves in the Kashmir Valley and Jammu region should be investigated,” he said in a statement.
According to the 49-page report, Indian security forces have used excessive force in Kashmir and killed and wounded numerous civilians since 2016.
Similarly in 2005 Médecins Sans Frontières conducted a survey in Kashmir which found that the number of people who had witnessed a rape in Kashmir since 1989 was comparably far higher than the number of people who had witnessed a rape in other conflict zones such as Chechnya and Sri Lanka. The survey found that 13% of respondents had witnessed rape and 11.6% of the interviewees had themselves been victims of sexual abuse since 1989.
Professor William Baker stated at the 52nd United Nations Commission on Human Rights that rape in Kashmir was an active strategy of the Indian forces to humiliate Kashmiri people.
The authorities use association with terrorists to discredit the testimony of the victims, in case the association is established. The security forces have carried out extrajudicial killings, assaults and other human rights violations. An investigation by the Jammu and Kashmir state human rights commission has found 2730 bodies in unmarked graves at 38 sites in northern Kashmir. At least 574 of these were identified as being local people.
On the other side also, human rights abuses in Pakistan administered Kashmir have been a recurrent issue, ranging from forced disappearances torture to political repression and electoral fraud and suppression of freedom of speech.
According to the human rights commission of Pakistan, Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) carries out extensive surveillance operations on the press and pro independence groups, they have carried out arbitrary arrests in which people have been tortured and several have died. Asian Legal Resource Centre (ALRC) is cited to indicate that dozens have disappeared after their arrests in Pakistan-held Kashmir. Those missing include Pakistani army personnel, those involved in spying for Pakistan, or those suspected of spying for India.
According to the report “persons are arrested and disappeared if they refuse to join or try to leave the forces engaged in the “Jihad” inside Indian-held Kashmir or don’t provide information to the intelligence agencies about the movements of people across the border control line. A significant number of cases point to the Inter-Services Intelligence’s involvement in these disappearances”.
Brad Adams, the Asia director at Human Rights Watch said in 2006 “Although ‘azad’ means ‘free,’ the residents of Azad Kashmir (PaK) are anything but free. The Pakistani authorities govern Azad Kashmir with strict controls on basic freedoms”. Adams cited a law where those who opposed Pakistan’s position on Kashmir were not allowed to contest regional elections, as an example of “political repression”. The report also detailed it could not find evidence that Pakistan’s security agencies were held accountable for incidents involving torture or mistreatment.
But the question still remains, is there no one to be blamed?
Kashmir has to be with India only. The struggle for independent Kashmir will never be successful. Also think Kashmir problem from another perspective. Suppose Kashmir is given freedom, do you think Kashmiri muslims will be able to run the independent country peacefully? I do not think so. Jihadi will start killing innocent people for Shria. They will finally turn beautiful Kashmir into Syria/Iraq.
Muslim country can never be peaceful. There will be peace only if muslims are ruled & controlled by non-muslims. Hence, Kashmiris should stop this movement & leave peacefully with India.
ekdum sahi baat kahi aapne sir !
Sir, Nepal aur Myanmar jaise bhi to independent ho sakta haye. Donon deshon ki ladaayi me Kashmiri ki kyon nahi sunte! Unko plebiscite de kar decide karne ka chance de do!
Independent hokar bhi to Nepal jaisa free–visa de sakte hain!
Kashmiri pundits ko bhaga kar plebiscite karna kaha tak fair hai ?
1) First Kashmiri pundito ko wapas settle karna hoga.
2) As per UN resolution, the first Pakistan has remove its army from POK which is illegally captured by them.
Absolutely agreed.
The true question is how many Kashmiri Pandits migrated from Kashmir?
2 Aug 2011 · The Hindu minority in Muslim majority Kashmir shrank from an estimated 140,000 in the late 1980s to 19,865 by 1998. Today, observers say there are fewer than 3,400 Pandits in Kashmir. Others say the number is around 2,700.
So actually the number of migrated Kashmiri Pandits is lesser than the local Muslims killed while taking over.
The Pandits should be allowed in the plebiscite but their vote will be mere small percentage of the entire population in a justly- conducted paper ballot!
And then we can save so much Indian taxpayer money on army and ammunition expenditure in Kashmir and use it for real progress of our beloved nation.
If Muslim do plebiscite in Kashmir to carve 3rd Muslim country for 5 southern districts of Kashmir from India, then a simultaneous plebiscite will by happening in India too by Hindus.
I do not believe or anyone in whole world would believe that India will keep Muslims living in India in Indiz just to keep carving countries for Muslims or force India to Keep Muslims then if Muslims plebiscite happens.
..Tomorrow they will pelt stones in Delhi, there mosques will call faithful to come and throw stones at Kafirs, Idol worshippers. Then Muslims do stone pelting in Aligarg, Muzafarnagar, then stone pelting in Hyderabad… you keep going. Will India be keep create countries.
By the way, last week in Melbourne, a Muslim killed Australian.. will Melbourne be another Muslim country.
See how China has banned any child to go to mosque and is reeducating millions and millions of Muslims so that they do not have to carve country for Muslims.
See how Myanmar dealt with ‘Carve a Country for Muslims’ in Myanmar ..just watch how peacefully Buddhists handled it.
Why India, let Muslims do plebiscite wherever they are living in non Muslim secular democratic countries.. lot of carvings and countries they will create.
Myanmar. India should ask Myanmar Army to clean Kashmir of terrorists.. It will take them 24 hours to clean Kashmir of terrorists and Terrorism supporters.
By the way. What do you suggest for Muslim living in India…will they be distributing sweets or packing their bags to third Muslim country which India will create for them. And another issue so called Kashmir will be another Afghanistan landlocked jihadi nation with war lords like Jaish and Hizab sandwiched between Pakistan and China. You think that will bring peace.
For sake of Muslim living in India, only expulsion of Muslims from Kashmir will bring permanent solution.
This is what you have recommended… MYNAMAR, OR CHECHEN OR SERBIA OR CHINESE type solution.
.
History is being forgotten and trying to hide the truth. Muslims named this nation Hind. Muslims ruled almost 1000 years and the majority Hindu lived peacefully under minority muslim’s rule. When India became British colony if felt slavery and struggled for Independence from British.
Not to forget the promise given to the people of kashmir to conduct referendum and to join as per their wish. Till date it was not conducted. 70 years of betrayal for people of kashmir. For every 5 Kashmiri there stands a CRPF men.
Indian army raping the innocent women and killing the Youths. World knows the report read at U.N meet regarding India’s attrocity on kashmir. Its a rotten egg. Don’t speak about peace in India.
And what is neighbouring country doing in POK?
Plebiscite should be to give these suffering people an informed choice towards peace and stability with cordial relations towards both big neighbours.
I do not believe in your History.. for me it is fiction as I was not there.
And I suggest Muslim live in present time.. and see what is happening to them. After 9/11..Chechnya, Myanmar, China, Serbia, Kurds, Palestinians, in Europe..India Gujarat 2002, 1947
I think History which Muslim quote all the time when they were not there, is messing them up.
Here is contemporary History being written by.. Bush, Putin, Aung Suu. Modi, Serbian Generals, Chinese Xi..who has put in prison millions of Muslims to re-educate themselves with Modern History.
In next coming Generations, Muslims will reading today’s History lessons.
Go live in History.
If an order is given to CRPF/ Army to clear quran infected Muslims from Kashmir and make Kashmir a Muslim Free State then how long will it take… not more than 24 Hours. You and your Pakistan will go lick UNO’s rear. That is all Muslim will be able to do.
Just as Myanmar did. Aung Suu still has her Noble Peace Medal. Today is not History… but TODAY IS MUSLIM BAN ERA.
Muslims just had black day celebrated of cleaing Muslim from Jammu. Actually it is was a wonder day.. Thank Army for that.
Since you are History then do not be selective. Read POLO Indian Army operation in Hyderabad to clear it from Pakistani Jihadi Muslim. You will learn from History.
Again learn non Muslim History too.. Your present day Pakistan upto Afghanistan and it included Kashmir too was CONQUERED AND RULED by handful of Sikhs.
Live in today.. see what happens in India if plebiscite happens in Kashmir… Pakistan does not have capacity and never ever will have capability to feed 200 Million Muslims who will be going home from India to Pakistam.
KAFIRS TODAY RETALIATE
