Pakistan is massacring human values in Pakistan occupied Kashmir,a stark reminder of dark age tactics.
The recent tragic ongoing episodes in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (POK) have brought to light the gruesome human rights violations perpetrated by the Pakistani state against the Kashmiri people.
The brutal suppression of protesters, resulting in numerous casualties, is a stark reminder of the oppressive regime that exists in the region. The international community must take cognizance of these atrocities and condemn the Pakistani state’s actions in the strongest possible terms.
The unrest in POK is a manifestation of the brutal policies of Pakistan rooted in deep-seated grievances of the Kashmiri people against the Pakistani government. The Awami Action Committee’s call for a “shutter down wheel-jam” strike across several districts was met with heavy security deployment and internet blackout, indicating the authorities’ intent to suppress dissent. The protesters’ demands, though legitimate, were met with brutal force, resulting in the loss of innocent lives.
All reports indicate the overall scenario on the ground is dire, with reports of policemen being lynched and widespread lawlessness prevailing in the region. The AAC’s statement, “Ye jooto se manane wale hain, baato se nahi” (They will only understand the language of shoes, not words), underscores the desperation and frustration of the Kashmiri people. The Pakistani state’s actions have clearly demonstrated its disregard for human life and dignity.
It is imperative that the international community takes note of these atrocities and pressures the Pakistani government to cease its brutal suppression of the Kashmiri people. The Pakistani state must introspect over its misdeeds and recognize the legitimate aspirations of the Kashmiri people. The people of POK deserve to live in peace, dignity, and freedom, and it is our collective responsibility to ensure that their rights are respected and protected.
The brutal massacre of Kashmiri protesters is a stark reminder of the barbarity that exists in POK. We must raise our voices against these atrocities and demand that the Pakistani government takes immediate action to restore peace and order in the region. The Kashmiri people’s struggle for their rights and freedoms must be recognized and supported by the international community.
In conclusion, the situation in POK demands immediate attention and action from the international community. We must condemn the Pakistani state’s brutal suppression of Kashmiri protesters and demand that the government takes concrete steps to address the legitimate grievances of the Kashmiri people. Only through collective action can we ensure that the people of POK live in peace, dignity, and freedom.
Pakistan needs to be taken to task for its barbarity.
