Muzaffarabad – September 29 (Online): Former Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) President Sardar Masood Khan has said Indian occupation forces and its hand-picked occupation authorities have been brutalizing the people of Jammu and Kashmir for decades that have left them the most traumatized people on earth.
In an interview with a foreign magazine, Masood said that since 1947 when India militarily occupied a large part of Muslim- majority region of Kashmir more than half a million people have been killed; roughly a million displaced; thousands of women raped; thousands blinded; and more than 14,000 rotting in prison houses and concentration camps.
Sardar Masood said that since 1947, the people of Jammu and Kashmir and the state of Pakistan have been ready for a plebiscite for the determination of the will of the Kashmiri people in accordance with a dozen or so UN Security Council resolutions but India has doggedly blocked the UN to arrange such a plebiscite.
He said that there are three parties to the Kashmir dispute – Pakistan, India, and the people of Jammu and Kashmir, and I would say that the people of Jammu and Kashmir are the key party because they have to choose their political future.
