فاروق رحمانی کی طرف سے فوج کے ہاتھوں بانڈی پورہ کے نوجوان کے قتل کی شدید مذمت

ہندوستانی فوج منظم سازش کے تحت کشمیریوں کا خون کررہی ہے۔
اسلام آباد26جولائی(پ ر)
جمو ں وکشمیر پیپلز فریڈم لیگ کے چیئرمین محمد فاروق رحمانی نے ہندوستانی فوج کی آر آر 27پاری بل کیمپ آلوسہ بانڈی پورہ کے ہاتھوں بے گناہ نوجوان ہلال احمد ڈار کے قتل کی شدید مذمت کی ہے۔ 
محمد فاروق رحمانی نے کہا کہ کشمیرمیں بے گناہ شہریوں کا قتل بھارتی فوجیوں اور پولیس اہلکاروں کا معمول بن چکاہے۔ انہوں نے کہا کہ بھارت مقبوضہ کشمیر میں طاقت کے ذریعے غیر قانونی قبضے، فوجیوں کی تعیناتی اور کالے قوانین کے تسلسل پر یقین رکھتا ہے۔انہوں نے کہاکہ کشمیر میں نوجوانوں کو گھروں سے پکڑ کر لیا جا تا ہے اور انہیں بندوق گلے میں ڈال کرگولیوں کا نشا نہ بنا دیا جاتا ہے اور پھر اعلان کیاجا تا ہے کہ یہ فوج کے ساتھ لڑائی میں مارے گئے۔ جس کی تازہ مثال ہلال احمد ڈار ساکن آلوسہ بانڈٰ پورہ کی ہے جو ایک سیمنٹ فیکٹڑی میں ملازم تھا اور گھر کا واحد کفیل تھا۔
محمد فاروق رحمانی نے کہا کہ کشمیرمیں جو کچھ ہو رہا ہے وہ انتظامیہ کا اخلاقی دیوالیہ پن ہے۔ انہوں نے کہاکہ بھارت نوازجماعتیں خود ساختہ انسانی اقدار اور اچھی حکمرانی پر محض تقاریر کرتے ہیں لیکن کشمیریوں پر بھارتی پولیس کے ظلم و ستم اور تشدد پر خاموش ہیں۔انہوں نے کہا کہ بھارت انتہائی مذموم عزائم رکھتاہے اور مقبوضہ علاقے میں اس کا ظلم و ستم مزید بدترین شکل اختیار کر سکتا ہے۔ انہوں نے اقوام متحدہ، اسلامک کانفرنس تنظیم اور انسانی حقوق کے عالمی اداروں پر زور دیا کہ وہ بھارت کے مکروہ عزائم کا نوٹس لیں۔ 

Bandipora brutality is part of systematic Killings─Muhammad Farooq Rehmani

Islamabad 26 July 2012: The Chairman Jammu and Kashmir People's Freedom League, Muhammad Farooq Rehmani, has strongly condemned a cold-blooded murder of an innocent inhabitant in Aloosa- Bandipora, Kashmir Hilal Ahmad Dar, after the latter's Taraveeh prayers, sending waves of shock and anger through-out Kashmir valley.

Muhammad Farooq Rehmani said, "gunning down of innocent citizens in Kashmir has become second nature of India's occupation forces, as there is no accountability and trial system, no retribution concept in the regime; and that India believes in the power of occupation, presence of army and continuation of draconian laws in the turbulent region; the responsible international bodies like the UN, have for long been apathetic to the plight and the rights of the Kashmiris under the Indian occupation rule. Therefore, India is encouraged to perpetuate its tyrannical rule with impunity and its forces have benefits of corruption and bribery in Jammu and Kashmir."

Muhammad Farooq Rehmani said that whatever was happening in the occupied region were only terror, torture, and moral cowardice and bankruptcy of that regime; the pro-India parties were issuing sermons of so called human values and good governance, while actually they were mum at the police brutalities and torture against the citizens. They were not feeling ashamed of their cowardice; not coming to the support of the victimized and targeted people, groaning under the draconian laws of India for long.

Muhammad Farooq Rehmani emphasized the proactive and duty-bound role of the UN, OIC, and world human rights organization's and warned that since India's designs were very dreadful following her free hand in Afghanistan; anything may happen and frequent acts of state-terrorism could be a prelude to even more ugly developments in this volatile region. He said although the Kashmiris were feeling like orphans in the present regional- behavioral and political developments; they couldn't be made kneeling-cartoons.

Kashmir Martyrs Day - 13 July is milestone in our struggle for Freedom--Muhammad Farooq Rehmani

Islamabad,12 July,2012: The Chairman of Jammu and Kashmir People's
Freedom League Muhammad Farooq Rehmani has paid glowing tributes to
the Kashmiri martyrs of 13 July,1931,who were shoot dead
indiscriminately by the police of then Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir,
in front of the Central Jail Srinagar for demanding a fair and an open
judicial enquiry into the historical Abdul Qadeer case, and
restoration of suppressed political, economic, and religious rights
of the peoples of the state. He said martyrdom of 21 Kashmiris on that
fateful day had jolted British India, and Punjab rushed peaceful
protesters to the State via Sialkot only to be stopped by the despotic
regime on the borders of Jammu. Dr.Iqbal the poet- philosopher of East
eulogized brave Kashmiris in his timely poetry and supported
organizing pro-Kashmir movement in Lahore.
Muhammad Farooq Rehmani said political struggle of Kashmir beginning
1931, faced a different scenario when in 1947,Pakistan was carved out
of India as an independent democratic state, while then princely
states were asked to decide by their free will in favour of one or the
other dominion. But the principle of partition and the right of
self-determination of Jammu and Kashmir was trampled down under
India's military aggression on Kashmir; resulting in occupation,
genocide and migration of the people throughout, by India, especially
in Jammu.
He said, "the people of Jammu and Kashmir have rendered unprecedented
sacrifices since long for their birth right-- the right of
self-determination, and a new phase of struggle beginning 1990 has
upped the spirit of martyrdom. But, neither India upheld its pledge of
referendum in Kashmir, nor UN enforced its resolutions on
plebiscite, till India deprived the Kashmiris of all their basic human
rights and civil liberties. Today, Kashmir is a worst place to live in
as per the human rights of the inhabitants are concerned."
Muhammad Farooq Rehmani urged the people to rekindle and radiate the
fervor and spirit of 1930s across the State of Jammu and Kashmir, and
give new political direction to their cause through retrospective
political wisdom. He said political leadership of the past 20 years
should be selfless and honest to grasp why and how Kashmir suffered
setback despite great sacrifices on different fronts. Why the
enthusiastic support which it received in early 1990s receded and
faded away, and accusations of hypocrisy and corruption became common
in social, religious and political activities?
He said, "Today, after 81 years of freedom struggle we stand nowhere
as a nation. Empty rhetoric can't salvage our jolting ship in storm.
We should rejuvenate the rank and file by a right direction and
strategy, not rely upon utopian slogans, but devise practical measures
to translate our dream into a reality and urge the world to support us
in regaining our lost historical identity."

Human Tragedy of Kashmir should be addressed collectively - Muhammad Farooq Rehmani

Islamabad July 10, 2012: The Chairman Jammu and Kashmir People's Freedom League, Muhammad Farooq Rehmani has urged the All Parties Hurriyet Conference (APHC) to initiate solid measures addressing woes and nightmarish problems of the oppressed families, who were subjected to molestation, criminal assault, murder and rape by Indian forces and police during the past 22 years of military operations in the State.

He said, "It's  all right that we do remember our martyrs  annually; we protest in the same way against countless ignoble acts of rape,  murder, humiliation and other crimes, Indian army and police perpetrate on  helpless Kashmiri families, who continuously live a life of grief and gloom or suffer migration to Pakistan since the creation of Kashmir tragedy in 1947."

He further said, "Besides remembering martyrs, and victims of atrocities and observing tragic events annually, it will be far important, if we could seriously ponder over practical ways of serving the affected people by constituting a body of  patriots;  comprising eminent  jurists, men of integrity, and immune to pomp and show." Such a body, he said, "will  be required to take up all the horrible events of the past 22 years and present day, related to the  depressed and helpless families, molested women and girls; people murdered in fake encounters,  and forcibly disappeared  by army, police, or masked agents. Almost every home, village, town and market has in store terrific tales of grief to narrate, and seek justice against the culprits."  He said, " No  victimized father, or a widow, or a forlorn mother or any molested woman can rest unless a killer or a robber of a woman's chastity stands in the dock and receives an exemplary punishment. Although the perpetrators of heinous crimes against humanity got off scot-free long ago, but the people can recognize them and their masters in every garb, or look."

Muhammad Farooq Rehmani has enumerated the tragic episodes of this decade to awaken the conscience of the world,  and his countrymen, especially the politicians and the clergy who are at the helm of affairs in Kashmir. He laments,  "until today we left every such awful incident unaddressed, unattended and uncared for; the result is that these  criminals, or their masters whether in uniform or otherwise wander freely, unnoticed and unpunished for their  crimes against humanity."

He said that if the political leadership addressed these problems quickly and honestly across the board, that could be the real service to the nation, and not pretty rhetoric which we practice in our daily political life. Serving helpless and oppressed people selflessly is quite different from   carrying a large attaché of claims and 'certificates' to hoodwink the world today.

He said, "The victimized, tormented and humiliated men and women are losing their patience, because we failed to address their melancholy and plight by creating a mechanism to stand by them. Our world has failed in duty to bring to book human-brutes in Jammu and Kashmir. The killers of humanity in Kashmir deserved treatment of war criminals. It was the duty of the  world, the world organizations to  knock at the door of the international court of justice, against the  rulers of this regime,  whether a Governor, or a chief executive or a commander or  whoso ever committed a crime or ordered to kill or rape  women, or  forcibly disappeared an innocent man or woman. If it was not done yesterday, it should be done today. We would be astonished to know that six decades on the Russians are still searching for their World war 11 dead. If again we cannot feel the pulse of our silent majority and God forbid failed to create a mechanism to address the bereaved and forlorn, the time can come, when the new generation will show its volt-face. The details of unforgettable and tragic episodes of Kashmir may be found in my separate article on human tragedy of Kashmir. Our posterity will remember us, by our deeds, not by empty rhetoric, or talk-shows or hollow claims." -End


India be questioned by ICJ - Muhmmad Farooq Rehmani

Islamabad 07 July 2012(PR): The Chairman Jammu and Kashmir People's
Freedom League Muhammad Farooq Rehmani has urged upon the UNO to look
into all those excesses and human rights violations that were
committed by Indian forces in the past 22 years and continue even
today against the innocent people of Kashmir to stifle their voice
for freedom and right of the self-determination.

In his separate letters to special rapporteurs and working groups of
the United Nations Council for human rights at Geneva, he enumerated a
trail of different tragedies faced by the Kashmiris in the shape of
extra judicial summery or arbitrary executions, torture, arbitrary
detention, enforced or involuntary disappearances, denial of freedom
of assembly and the suppression of opinion and expression, quoting a
famous sentence of Mr. Ban-Ki-Moon, UN Secretary General, " All
victims of human rights abuses should be able to look to the human
rights council as forum and a springboard for action."

Referring to the state sponsored atrocities against humanity in
Kashmir, he said, "They fall under numerous categories and have been
perpetrated on men, women and children almost in every village, town
and city of Jammu and Kashmir."

"It is also evident from numberless graves and graveyards both marked
and unmarked all over the state, he said.

He pointed out that India was never questioned nor brought before the
International Court of Justice for her trail of destruction of human
life and values in Kashmir, during the last 22 years, with the result
every morning, adding fresh stories of travail to the history of life
and death in Kashmir. Fathers dump with grief and mothers crying
cannot stop tears from flowing for their imprisoned, brutalized,
forcibly disappeared sons or near and dear ones. Therefore we once
again call upon the United Nations organization and its Human Rights
Council to take cognizance of all those tragic events that occurred
during the last 22 years. The peoples of Kashmir would welcome such an
investigation as a great CBM by the world body, to create conditions
for a peaceful and durable solution of South Asia's longest political
dispute. #END
