Lahore Jan 25 President of Jamaat-e-Islami Azad Jammu and Kashmir Abdul Rasheed Turabi has termed celebration of 26th January as Republic Day of India, which continues to usurp the Kashmiris’ fundamental human rights, has nothing to do with democratic norms and credentials.
Turabi in a statement said that India New Delhi has no right to celebrate the day as long as it continues to violate the UN Security Council resolutions on Kashmir and tramples human rights values of Kashmiri people, granted under UN charter. He pointed out that Indian leaders like Jawaharlal Nehru had pledged to give people of Jammu and Kashmir their right to choose their future through plebiscite.
He called upon the international community to take cognizance of human rights violations by India in occupied Kashmir. He said that people of Kashmir will observe India’s Republic Day as black day in occupied Kashmir, Azad Kashmir, Pakistan and elsewhere in the world. The JI AJ President said that killing of Burhan Wani has once again exposed India at the global level, and the world has become well aware of the undemocratic face of India.
