UKPNP leader recalls tribal invasion of Kashmir as darkest day, highlights plight of PoJK people – ThePrint – ANIFeed

London (UK), Oct 22 (ANI): United Kashmir National Party (UKPNP) spokesperson Sardar Nasir Aziz Khan recalled the tribal invasion of Kashmir and described this date ‘October 22’ as the “darkest day” in Pakistan’s history occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

He reflected on the tragic events that occurred in 1947 when armed tribes, backed by Pakistan, invaded the region, resulting in widespread violence and displacement.

Khan further stressed that this invasion not only sowed the seeds of division and bloodshed, but has also caused lasting devastation that continues to affect generations.

In a post on X, he declared: “October 22, 1947, the darkest day in the history of Jammu and Kashmir. Pakistan’s tribal invasion unleashed forced division, bloodshed and destruction that reverberates to this day “.

Khan’s remarks are particularly resonant in light of the ongoing violence in the region, exemplified by the recent tragic shooting of Syed Adeel Naqvi, a resident of Haveli Kahota in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

This incident has raised concerns about the safety of Kashmiri civilians, who continue to live in a climate of fear and instability. Condemning the tragic killing of Syed, Nasir called for urgent intervention by the United Nations to ensure the protection of Kashmiri civilians.

Human rights organizations have documented numerous abuses in the PoJK, including arbitrary detentions, enforced disappearances, and limitations on freedom of expression.

The lack of accountability for these violations has left many families in a perpetual state of anxiety and despair, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in the region.

In particular, several human rights activists in the region have been detained without formal charges, and some remain detained for prolonged periods without access to legal representation.

In addition, there have been reports of enforced disappearances, where people, often activists or vocal critics of the government, have disappeared without a trace.

The targets are often activists, journalists or others who challenge the status quo, indicating a systematic effort to silence dissenting voices.

The absence of accountability for these actions has fostered a culture of impunity, where perpetrators feel emboldened to continue these practices without fear of repercussions. (ANI)
