Brutal chapter in the history of IIOJK

On 2nd August 2023, Dr. Asma Shakir Khawaja, the Executive Director of CISS AJK, appeared on the PTV World Show “Newsroom” with anchor Omar Khalid Butt to discuss the events of August 5, 2019, as a brutal chapter in the history of IIOJK. During the interview, she said that there was a strong reaction from the International Community, particularly concerning conflicts in international meetings and organizations, such as debates on the Kashmir issue and Israel. However, over time, the International Community seemed to struggle in sustaining the pressure on India for peaceful plebiscites. Moreover, she added that one significant incident occurred in August 2019 when the Kashmir issue was highlighted as a critical flashpoint for international space and security. Yet, despite this, the International Community has historically failed to hold India accountable for its occupation of Kashmir.
India made promises to address the occupation but failed to follow through, as evident in a recent report stating that around 10,000 Kashmiri women went missing after 2019, with no records of their whereabouts. Furthermore, civil liberties in Kashmir have been severely impacted, with a total internet shutdown for approximately 450 hours in December 2022, the highest number of suspension orders, and countless human rights violations. This data indicates the scale of the struggle faced by the Kashmiri people, with an estimated 900,000 fighting against oppressive measures. In addition, she emphasized that India has made attempts to illegally occupy and reshape the demography of Indian-occupied Kashmir. These measures aimed at eroding Kashmiri culture, language, and religious identity have been ongoing for many years. However, the question remains whether India has truly succeeded in disempowering its Muslim population.
