ISLAMABAD: The Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) President, Sardar Masood Khan has said that the day of demonstrating solidarity with the people of Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IOJK) aims to assure them that they are not alone in the struggle for their right to self-determination and to draw world attention towards their legitimate and just demand.
Addressing a virtual seminar organized by Quaid-e-Azam University here on Thursday, he said that the biggest challenge at present for us is that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, his Home Minister Amit Shah and the RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat want to transform Jammu and Kashmir into a Hindu majority state. For this purpose, Sardar Masood maintained, Hindu citizens are being imported from all over India, and they are being rapidly settled in occupied Kashmir. India has settled more than two million Hindu citizens in occupied Kashmir so far, and the number is to be raised to five million.
“The greatest crime taking place in IOJK right now is the uninterrupted and illegal settlement of Hindus from all over India. Now they have come up with the plot to permanently make IOJK a Hindu majority state. Two million Hindus have already been imported. This illegal transplantation of population is a serious violation of international laws and conventions,” he asserted. The state president regretted that the United Nations had declared to observe the Palestine day, but not such a day has been devoted to Kashmir.
