IIOJK Farcical elections:

“Sham elections in the disputed occupied state can never be the substitute of right to self determination”, Talks to Our Special State Correspondent A H Rao:

MIRPUR (AJK): August  30: Categorically rejecting Delhi-sponsored forthcoming farcical Indian elections drama in Indian Illegally occupied Jammu Kashmir state in October this year, top PML (N) AJK leader and former  Prime Minister of the state Raja Farooq Haider Khan said that the sham elections in the internationally-acknowledged disputed Indian-occupied Jammu Kashmir state  could not be the substitute of the right to self-determination, committed to be granted to Kashmiris under U.N resolutions.

Talking to our Special Jammu Kashmir state  Correspondent Altaf Hamid Rao here Friday evening,  the ex AJK Prime Minister  said India was tarnishing the ancient Islamic and historical cultural heritage of the Muslim-majority  Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir state, besides targetting innocent Kashmiri Muslims of increased human rights abuses and brutal incidents of state terrorism

The Kashmiri leader called upon the United Nations to take immediate notice of the forced and unlawful staging of sham elections drama to the socalled state Legislative Assembly in the internationally-recognised disputed occupied state – since a free and  fair plebiscite is required to be managed in entire Jammu Kashmir state under the spirit of resolutions of the UN Security Council  providing opportunity to the population of the state to decide about their destiny under theUN resolutions, he added.

Farooq Haider said that mosques in IIOJK  were being desecrated and innocent freedom loving Kashmiris, especially  youth were being martyred on one pretext or the other including  in the wake of fake encounters in both major regions of Jammu and Kashmir  valley while properties of the muslim population of the turbulent state were being ruined. He wondered why international community was mum over all these increased human  rights abuses on the part of Indian  occupying forces in IIOJK,  especially since the bleak day of August  05,  2019 when India committed sinister act of scrapping special status of the IIOJK State blatantly violating International norms and commitments including the UN resolutions.

Haider reminded  to the UN to move for laying its due global role for safeguarding the Islamic and historical heritage through forced actions of bringing about  the demographic change in the muslim-majorly disputed Indian occupied Jammu Kashmir state  besides ensuring early peaceful settlement of the Kashmir issue in line with its resolutions
