Photo exhibition at Pakistan HC exposes atrocities in Indian-Occupied Kashmir

LONDON, AUG 5: /DNA/ – The international community should support legitimate aspirations of the Kashmiris for self-determination, peace and justice : Dr. Mohammad Faisal

                The Pakistan High Commission in London organised Youm-e-Istehsal Seminar, denouncing India’s unilateral and illegal actions of August 5, 2019, wherein it revoked the special status of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu & Kashmir (IIOJK).

                The seminar was attended by Adnan Hussain, MP; Shaffaq Mohammad,  Ex-member of European parliament; Raja Najabat Hussain,  Chairman Jammu Kashmir Self-Determination Movement International; Raza Ali Kashmiri, Chairman Kashmir Council Europe; Syed Yousaf Naseem,  Chairman All J&K Freedom Conference  International, members of Pakistani and Kashmiri diaspora, prominent locals, representatives of the human rights organizations and media representatives.

                While addressing the seminar, the High Commissioner, Dr. Mohammad Faisal highlighted that India’s illegal actions of 5th August, 2019 was a move to disenfranchise the Muslim majority population. By redrawing electoral boundaries, issuing fraudulent domiciles to millions of non-kashmiris, and manipulating voter rolls, India seeks to irrevocably alter the region’s demography and political landscape, said the High Commissioner.

                The High Commissioner condemned India’s unparalleled brutal tactics of arbitrary detention of senior Hurriyat leadership, media censorship, communications’ blackout, enforced disappearances, torture and extrajudicial killings. He called on the international community to take note of India’s illegal actions and to support legitimate aspirations of the Kashmiris for self-determination, peace and justice.

                British Parliamentarian and speakers expressed solidarity with the Kashmiris, urging India to end human rights violations in IIOJK. The speakers stressed the urgent need to resolve the longstanding Jammu & Kashmir dispute in accordance with the relevant Resolutions of the United Nations Security Council.

                Earlier, a Photo Exhibition was organized at the High Commission, displaying evidence of continued atrocities committed by Indian occupation forces in IIOJK. The images served as a stark reminder of the need to address the human rights’ situation and work towards a peaceful resolution of the Jammu & Kashmir dispute as per the wishes of the Kashmiri people.

                Commemoration of Youm-e-Istehsal, by the Government of Pakistan, serves as a powerful reminder of the urgent need to address the humanitarian crisis in IIOJK and the early resolution of the Jammu & Kashmir dispute.

KARACHI: United Arab Emirates (UAE) Consul General Dr Bakheet Ateeq Al Remeithi has said there are no visa restrictions for Pakistanis in the gulf nation.

The consul general’s clarification came on Monday after reports of issues being faced by residents of the Sindh province with regards to acquiring visas to visit the UAE.

In a video, the top diplomat said: “All facilities are being provided to Pakistani businessmen, real workers, and those travelling for medical treatment in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and other cities.”

The envoy added that the Gulf nation has strong cultural, religious, and trade relations with Pakistan spanning over 50 years. “The UAE provides 100% facilities to Pakistani brothers and sisters for obtaining visas.”

However, Dr Remeithi said that a special awareness programme is launched for individuals travelling to the UAE at the Karachi Consulate, stressing that those going to the UAE are advised to avoid carrying prohibited items and pack their luggage themselves to avoid difficulties.

“The UAE will launch a new programme for the business community on both sides within a few days,” he announced.

Under the programme, he further said, the UAE consulate would provide aspiring travellers with comprehensive facilities if they want to go to the country for business or intend to bring UAE companies to Pakistan.

Bangladesh PM Hasina ‘resigns’, taken to ‘safe shelter’ after violent protests

Bangladesh PM Hasina 'resigns'

DHAKA, AUG 5: Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has resigned and left the country on Monday, media reports said, as more people were killed in some of the worst violence since the birth of the South Asian nation more than five decades ago.

Hasina and her sister had been taken to a “safe shelter” away from her official residence, a government source told Reuters.

“You see, the situation is very volatile. What is happening, I myself don’t know,” Law Minister Anisul Huq told Reuters.

Student activists had called for a march to the capital Dhaka on Monday in defiance of a nationwide curfew to press Hasina to resign, a day after deadly clashes across the country killed nearly 100 people.

As protesters began to march in some places, armoured personnel carriers and troops patrolled the streets of the capital, Reuters TV showed. There was little civilian traffic, barring a few motorcycles and three-wheel taxis.

At least six people were killed in clashes between police and protesters in the Jatrabari and Dhaka Medical College areas on Monday, the Daily Star newspaper reported. Reuters could not immediately verify the report.

Police hurled sound grenades in some parts of the city to disperse small groups of protesters, the Bengali language Prothom Alo newspaper reported.

Elsewhere, thousands of protesters had surrounded law enforcement officers stationed in front of a key building, it said.

Army chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman, who was due to address the nation at 2pm local time (0800 GMT) would now do so at 3pm (0900 GMT), an army officer told Reuters. “He is holding talks with some stakeholders, outside the military. That’s why the delay,” the officer said.

The military spokesperson’s office had earlier said that “the public is requested to refrain from violence and be patient,” until the army chief’s address, Prothom Alo reported.

Bangladesh has been engulfed by protests and violence that began last month after student groups demanded scrapping of a controversial quota system in government jobs.

That escalated into a campaign to seek the ouster of Hasina, who won a fourth straight term in January in an election boycotted by the opposition.

At least 91 people were killed and hundreds injured on Sunday in a wave of violence across the country of 170 million people as police fired tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse tens of thousands of protesters.

Starting Sunday evening, a nationwide curfew has been imposed, the railways have suspended services and the country’s huge garments industry has closed.

Bangladesh PM’s son seeks security forces’ help
The son of Bangladesh’s Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina urged the country’s security forces to block any takeover from her rule.

“Your duty is to keep our people safe and our country safe and to uphold the constitution,” US-based Sajeeb Wazed Joy said in a post on Facebook.

“It means don’t allow any unelected government to come in power for one minute, it is your duty.”

Joy, who is also an information and communications technology advisor to Hasina, warned progress made by Bangladesh would be threatened if she was forced out.

“Everything of our development and progress will vanish. Bangladesh would not be able to come back from there,” he said.

“I don’t want that and you also do not want that,” he added. “Myself, Sajeeb Wazed Joy, will not let that happen as long as I can.”

A senior advisor to Hasina told AFP Monday that the resignation of the embattled leader was a “possibility” after being questioned as to whether she would quit.

“The situation is such that this is a possibility, but I don’t know how it will happen,” the aide close to the premier said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

The military declared an emergency in January 2007 after widespread political unrest and installed a caretaker government for two years.

UK to beef up security at vulnerable mosques following anti-immigration riots, arrests

UK

LONDON, AUG 4: The UK government on Sunday said it would offer additional emergency security teams to vulnerable mosques, and warned that violent disorder would “not be tolerated” after police made dozens of arrests at far-right rallies following clashes between protesters and officers.

Unrest linked to disinformation about a mass stabbing that killed three young girls last week spread to multiple towns and cities on Saturday as anti-immigration demonstrators faced off against counter-protesters.

About 90 people were arrested after skirmishes broke out in numerous English cities, including Liverpool, Manchester, Bristol, Blackpool and Hull, as well as Belfast in Northern Ireland.

In some instances, rioters threw bricks, bottles and flares at police — injuring several officers — looted and burnt shops, while demonstrators were also heard shouting anti-Islamic slurs.

In light of the escalation, the UK government announced its plan to offer greater protection to mosques at risk.

“The new rapid response process means mosques at risk of violent disorder can be offered additional security personnel, providing communities with vital support and reassurance,” the government said in a press release today.

“This will boost the work already being done by local police forces to protect these important places of worship,” it said.

“Under the new process now in place, the police, local authorities and mosques can ask for rapid security to be deployed, protecting communities and allowing for a return to worship as quickly as possible,” it added.

UK Interior Minister Yvette Cooper said nobody should make any excuses for the shameful actions of the hooligans, thugs and extremist groups who attacked police officers, looted local shops or attacked people based on the colour of their skin.

“In light of the disgraceful threats and attacks that local mosques have also faced in many communities, the government is providing rapid additional support through the Protective Security for Mosques Scheme, alongside the support from local police forces and we repeat that anyone involved in this disorder and violence will face the full force of the law,” Cooper said.

The press release said that the government had made it clear that targeted attacks on Muslim communities would not be tolerated.

“All those involved in violent disorder, including attacks on the police, local communities, arson and looting should expect to face the full force of the law,” it said.

“The new arrangements have been deployed and are already providing additional security for mosques across the country this weekend. The scheme also remains open for general applications and all those eligible are encouraged to apply,” it added.

Earlier, the government’s policing minister, Diana Johnson, told BBC News that the rioting would “not be tolerated”, and that there would be “penalties and consequences” for the disorder.

The skirmishes marked the fourth day of unrest in several towns and cities following Monday’s frenzied knife attack in Southport, near Liverpool on England’s northwest coast.

They were fuelled by false rumours on social media about the background of British-born 17-year-old suspect Axel Rudakubana, charged with several counts of murder and attempted murder over the attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance party.

Rudakubana is accused of killing Bebe King, 6, Elsie Dot Stancombe, 7, and Alice Dasilva Aguiar, 9 and injuring another 10 people.

Police have blamed the violence on supporters and associated organisations of the English Defence League, an anti-Islam organisation founded 15 years ago whose supporters have been linked to football hooliganism.

Agitators have targeted mosques in Southport and in the northeastern English city of Sunderland, leading to hundreds of Islamic centres to bolster security amid fears for its worshippers’ safety.

The violence is the biggest test yet of Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s short premiership. He came to power early last month after leading Labour to a landslide win over the Conservatives.

He has accused “thugs” of “hijacking” the nation’s grief to “sow hatred” and pledged that anyone carrying out violent acts would “face the full force of the law”.

After talks with senior ministers on Saturday he “reiterated that the government backs the police to take all necessary action to keep our streets safe”, said a statement from his office.

Police have warned of more demonstrations on Sunday.

Politics of dharnas and IPPs syndrome

The PML-N can rejuvenate its waning popularity by genuinely aligning with the people’s interests. To stay politically relevant, the party must focus on tangible performance and delivery, particularly in economic matters. Providing significant relief to the populace can greatly enhance its chances of retaining leadership for a full term

Comment

Ansar M Bhatti

Pakistan’s political arena is never short of drama. Every day, political and non-political heavyweights vie for dominance, creating a relentless tug-of-war. As this power struggle continues, the country and its citizens, often referred to as living in the “land of the pure,” suffer immensely at the hands of these actors. The economic situation has deteriorated drastically, leaving many desperate to escape the nation by any means necessary to find relief from their prolonged agony and hardship. For those unable to leave, begging has become a last resort. Reports indicate that the number of beggars in Pakistan has reached twenty million, starkly highlighting the severity of the social, political, and legal injustices plaguing the country.

Iraq recently lodged a complaint with the Pakistani government, revealing that they have identified at least 50,000 Pakistanis who entered Iraq as Zaireens (pilgrims) but never returned. Many of these individuals have resorted to begging in Iraq.

Similarly, Gulf countries have expressed concerns regarding the Pakistani expatriates and labor force. During a Senate Standing Committee on Overseas Pakistanis meeting, Secretary of Overseas Pakistanis Dr. Arshad informed the forum that the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Kuwait have raised reservations on various issues related to overseas Pakistanis.

The disclosure comes months after the ministry back in September 2023 informed the same body that out of all the Pakistanis leaving the country, beggars are going abroad the most. The official had said that Pakistani beggars travel to Iraq and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia under the guise of ziarat [pilgrimage]. Most people visit KSA on Umrah visas and then indulge in begging-related activities. Out of all the beggars who were arrested, 90% turned out to be Pakistanis, the secretary had said.

The ground realities regarding the plight of ordinary people are far more alarming than reported in the media. Unfortunately, the government and those who actually control it seem least concerned about the suffering of the have-nots and even the middle class. While people continue to endure distress and injustice, the ruling elite is preoccupied with finding ways to extend their rule and suppress the opposition. Corruption reigns supreme in the country, and lawlessness takes a heavy toll on the defenseless masses. Bad governance is rampant, and the disconnect between the electorate and their representatives is growing ever deeper—a fact that often embarrasses politicians, especially when they are ousted from power and no one protests in their support.

The ongoing Jamaat-e-Islami sit-in, like many recent sit-ins, appears to be politically motivated. While these protests often give the impression that they are staged in support of ordinary people, their underlying motives tend to be self-serving and personal. Take, for example, the PTI and Pakistan Awami Tehreek dharna in 2014 against the Nawaz Sharif government. It was initially presented as a movement to overthrow the government due to its failure to address the public’s grievances and protest rigging in the 2013 general elections. However, as events unfolded, it became clear that the true motive was different. The then army chief, Raheel Sharif, was seeking an extension, which Nawaz Sharif was unwilling to grant.

The ongoing JI sit-in has a different approach and goals this time. The primary target appears to be the Independent Power Producers (IPPs), who, according to the JI protesters and even some government officials, have been exploiting the nation for a long time. Interestingly, those currently in power are responsible for these contracts, as they were established during the tenures of either the PML-N or PPP. Additionally, many of the IPPs are owned, directly or indirectly, by leaders of these two parties. Chinese companies also have a significant share in the ownership of these plants.

One aspect of the dharna might be to keep the owners of these plants under pressure for motives that are still unclear, though there likely is more to it than meets the eye. However, a positive outcome of such dharnas is that the public often receives some relief. For example, during Imran Khan’s 2014 dharna, the government refrained from increasing the prices of daily-use items, especially petrol, to avoid further public anger. This time, regarding the issue of the IPPs, people might benefit from a reduction in electricity prices. However, it remains uncertain whether the core issue—the agreements—will be addressed earnestly and effectively.

Crises situations often give rise to numerous controversies. For example, in this particular case, some believe that the government’s days are numbered and that the ongoing protests could lead to its downfall. However, I think this conclusion might be premature, as the core question remains: if not this government, then who would run the country? At the moment, the Establishment does not have a clear alternative to justify the removal of the current government.

The PML-N faces a unique predicament, lacking support both internally and externally. Even its allies, notably the PPP, appear dissatisfied. The Establishment is also gradually withdrawing its backing to avoid public backlash, as the government has seemingly underperformed politically and economically in its initial months. The PML-N can rejuvenate its waning popularity by genuinely aligning with the people’s interests. To stay politically relevant, the party must focus on tangible performance and delivery, particularly in economic matters. Providing significant relief to the populace can greatly enhance its chances of retaining leadership for a full term.

Barrister Sundas Malik urges global leaders to break their silence on Kashmir’s HR Crisis

Pakistan: A Pivotal Bridge Aligning Economic Interests Between China and the Middle East

ISLAMABAD, AUG 04 (DNA) — A prominent advocate for human rights in Kashmir Barrister Sundas Malik Sunday vehemently condemned India’s widespread and systemic abuses of fundamental human rights (HR) in the region and urged the international community to take immediate and decisive action to halt these injustices.

 In an exclusive interview with Radio Pakistan in connection with Youm-e-Istehsal-e-Kashmir, she condemned India’s unilateral actions, particularly the revocation of Article 370 of its Constitution, which she said was unjustified and illegitimate.

 She said that the people of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) want a free and fair plebiscite to decide their future, highlighting that the abrogation of Article 35-A was a deliberate move to alter the region’s demographic composition. She suggested that global powers could impose sanctions on the Indian government or its military to pressure India into reversing its August 5, 2019, actions.

 She stressed that the international community must adopt a more robust and assertive stance to combat the egregious human rights violations in Kashmir, rather than turning a blind eye to these atrocities due to economic interests. The appalling scale of abuses, including genocide, ethnic cleansing, and crimes against humanity, demands an immediate and collective response, she added.

The global community must recognize the inherent value of human rights and take decisive action, including diplomatic pressure, economic sanctions, and support for independent investigations, to hold perpetrators accountable and ensure justice for the Kashmiri people, she mentioned.

 Replying to a question, she said that the human rights report has laid bare India’s glaring failures in addressing systemic discrimination and draconian laws targeting minority communities, particularly in Kashmir.  The report exposes a distressing pattern of state-sponsored violence, arbitrary detentions, and blatant disregard for due process, perpetuating a culture of impunity and fear, he said.

She said there has been no progress for the people in IIOJK, where businessmen, farmers, and individuals face ongoing suppression and intimidation.   The report’s findings serve as a stark reminder of India’s obligations under international human rights law and the urgent need for reform to protect the rights and dignity of all individuals, regardless of their religion, ethnicity, or political beliefs, she mentioned.

 “The BJP government’s failure to provide adequate legal assistance to imprisoned top Kashmiri leaders is a glaring travesty of justice and a stark reminder of the systemic bias that pervades India’s judicial system”, she added.

Despite repeated appeals, the BJP Supreme Court has failed to provide timely and effective relief to these leaders, who have been languishing in jail for years without fair trial or due process, she highlighted.

 Responding to a query, she further criticized that the Kashmir valley has been a contentious region for many decades, and there have been concerns about press freedom and the ability of journalists to report on the situation there. In recent years, there have been allegations that the Indian government has restricted access to the region for journalists and has pressured media outlets to present a particular narrative about the situation in Kashmir, she added.

  “The international community must recognize the stark realities of the Kashmir crisis and acknowledge the sufferings of the Kashmiri people”, she added.   For decades, they have endured human rights abuses, military crackdowns, and restrictions on their freedom of expression and movement, she said, adding, the world cannot continue to turn a blind eye to the plight of Kashmiris, who are subjected to collective punishment, extrajudicial killings, and enforced disappearances.

 The international community must demand transparency, accountability, and a peaceful resolution to this longstanding conflict, ensuring that the rights and dignity of the Kashmiri people are respected and protected, she added. — DNA
