Islamabad: Chairperson of the Peace and Culture Organisation, wife of incarcerated Kashmiri Hurriyat leader Mohammad Yasin Malik, and former SAPM on Human Rights and Women Empowerment, Mushaal Hussein Mullick urged the global community to end its double standards and hold India accountable.
She has issued a powerful condemnation of India's escalating oppression in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IOJK). In a statement, she highlighted the systemic erasure of Kashmiri identity through draconian laws like the Public Safety Act (PSA), Enemy Property Act, and Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), which weaponize the judiciary to silence dissent. "This is not democracy-this is a war on Kashmir's soul," she declared, emphasizing how homes, livelihoods, and memories are being snatched from Kashmiris with impunity.
Mullick underscored that India's aggression has shifted from bullets to a calculated assault on Kashmiri survival. "They've stolen childhoods, buried our youth, and now they're confiscating homes under colonial-era laws," she stated, referencing the recent seizure of properties belonging to Kashmiris, including political prisoners . She lamented how families are denied even the right to mourn, with Indian forces guarding gravesites to prevent funerals. "A mother buries her son in darkness-this is the 'justice' of the world's so-called largest democracy," she added.
Questioning the international community's selective outrage, Mullick asked why human rights frameworks exclude Kashmir. "Why does a Kashmiri mother's tear weigh less than a Ukrainian ? Why is the UN silent when Kashmiris are stripped of their homes, voices, and history?" She warned that the world's inaction sets a dangerous precedent, enabling India's settler-colonial project in lIOJK. "The UN's complicity will haunt its conscience," she asserted.
Despite India's attempts to break Kashmiri resolve, Mullick affirmed that the dream of freedom remains alive. "They can chain our homes, but not our hearts. Kashmiris are bruised, not bowed." She stressed that the right to self-determination is non-negotiable, woven into the very fabric of Kashmiri identity."Every confiscated shop, every erased memory fuels our resistance. This is not just a political struggle-it's a fight for existence."
Mullick urged the global community to end its double standards and hold India accountable. Sanction India for its war crimes, probe its use of laws as weapons, and stand with Kashmiris before their last refuge is gone." She warned that oppression breeds defiance, and Kashmir's silenced cries will one day shake the heavens. "The world must choose: Will it be complicit in genocide, or will it act before it's too late?"
