JAMMU, June 26: Jammu Province Peoples Forum (JPPF), a conglomerate of more than 50 social, religious, commercial, educationist, traders, NGOs and other Institutes engaged in the betterment and upliftment of the people of Jammu Province, on Tuesday held a strong protest against the report on the situation of Human Rights in Kashmir and submitted a memorandum to UN office. JPPF members through memorandum said, "We out rightly reject the report on the situation of Human Rights in Kashmir: Development in the State of Jammu and Kashmir from June 2016-April 2018 and general human rights concerns in Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan." They added the entire report is malicious, arbitrary, biased, communal and concocted non-factual driving the facts from the air which were non- existent having no ground and have hurt the sentiments of the people of J&K. It seems that the report has been made on the behest of the vested interest of certain countries involved to defame the Indian union and the State of Jammu and Kashmir and consideration of the communal agenda against the resolution of the UN to dump the problems of the Kashmir without further consultation, they said. They also strongly condemned the said report because the organizations involved in promoting militancy are not designated as terrorist organization but armed group. They made it clear that the entire Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of the Union of India exceeded to the dominion of India in 1947 by the then ruler Maharaja Hari Singh as per the then prevailing rules and regulations by signing the instrument of accession and the entire territory of Jammu and Kashmir comprising of 2,22,236 sq.km was acceded to the dominion of India but at present half of the Indian territory has illegal been occupied by Pakistan as well as China. So far as the human right violation by the security forces are concerned, they said that the Indian Security forces in general and Indian Army in particular despite of providing security cover and protection to the civilians is continuously helping to provide better healthcare facilities in different parts of the Jammu and Kashmir. |
