Geneva, Mar 16: The Chief of the European Foundation for South Asian Studies (EFSAS) said during a general debate at 46th session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva on Mar 15 that the Pakistan orchestrated proxy-war has killed thousands of Kashmiris and they continue to suffer due to terrorist groups patronized by Pakistan military establishment.
The EFSAS Chief Junaid Qureshi drew the Council's attention to the issue of Jammu and Kashmir and said, "Last month, on Pakistan's so-called Kashmir Solidarity Day, Prime Minister Imran Khan said that Pakistan would be willing to give Kashmiris the right to independence. This misleading statement, aimed at deceiving the international community, needs to be put into perspective."
The EFSAS chief is a Kashmiri himself, from Srinagar and therefore has a personal insight on the issue. He further added, "It was Pakistan that invaded and divided my Homeland in 1947, and in 1949 it literally shut the door to independence for us Kashmiris. In 1989, it unleashed a policy of death and destruction by exporting terrorism into the Kashmir Valley. To this day, the Pakistani Military Establishment continues to patronize dozens of terrorist groups."
The EFSAS chief Junaid shared with the United Nations that unless Prime Minister Imran Khan is held accountable for his words and pressed to give independence to Pakistan occupied Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan, parts of Kashmir which Pakistan occupies, the trivialization of the Jammu and Kashmir issue will only be further encouraged. He said, "If nothing else, I would urge this Council to intervene and at least assist us Kashmiris in achieving independence from Pakistan's solidarity. With such solidarity, we shudder to think what animosity would look like."
