Kashmiris have again become the inadvertent sufferers of David Cameron’s verbal assault on Pakistan, that has reinforced the Indian hardliners to continue brutalizing Kashmiris within the Kashmir Valley, much similar to the arrest campaign of Gaza.
The British Prime Minister David Cameron, during his reception speech at 10 Downing Street on 20th October, 2014, on the occasion of the Hindu festival Diwali, made it clear to the world that UK is much more interested in having profound relationships with India and aver about the comparative challenges both these democracies have to face, therefore making it outrightly clear that his administration will by no means meddle in the Kashmir issue. Cameron was one of the first heads of state to pass on good wishes to Narendra Modi on his memorable win. Cameron clearly expressed that UK is not to mediate in Kashmir, flanked by India and Pakistan, saying, “It is the engagement between the two nations and that is for these countries to lead debate on this issue and not for others to interfere”.
Cameron holding Pakistan responsible has actually endorsed India’s distrustfulness in relation to Pakistan, as well as moved the spotlight away from Kashmir, which resultantly has escalated the causalities of non-military populace that otherwise may have gotten some media attention.
Starting in May of 2014, the new gesture of dissent began; around 50 Kashmiris were slaughtered, many of them young people. Apart from this, several citizens have been injured, which has as a result fashioned another never-ending turmoil in Kashmir. As the number of protests in Kashmir increased, India initiated an aggressive campaign against the Kashmiri citizens, who are raising their voice against Indian human rights abuse. In June 2014, Indian Home Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram proclaimed stone-tossing Kashmiri adolescents to be working with or in connection with the Lashkar-e-Taiba. This interfacing of Kashmiri dissenters to violent aggregates in Pakistan was seen by numerous Kashmiris as an Indian pardon for the proceeding with homicide of Kashmiris.
The nonattendance of any feedback of the developing suppression has encouraged the Indian government to focus on the Kashmiri populace with more prominent fierceness. At the point when the specialists of the Government Medical College, challenged against human rights misuses, the legislature enlisted evidence against them for revolting and rebellion. Prior, numerous heading legal counsellors and human rights advocates together with Mian AbdulQayoom, president of Kashmir Bar Association, which is the primary attorneys’ discussion, were captured under the draconian Public Safety Act, which permits detainment for two years without charge.
This law, in conjunction with the Armed Forces Special Powers Act that offers permit to Indian powers to execute with exemption, have been utilized to murder or hush a huge number of Kashmiris since decades. In an undeniably severe reaction, the police even seized trucks of relief products, for example, sustenance and vegetables for the occupants of Srinagar, a city that had been under time limit for a considerable length of time once.
The hawk-eyed concentration on al-Qaeda in Pakistan and the war in Afghanistan have thrown a shadow over the anguish of the people of Kashmir, which is now barely reported in the global media. In the pretext of the end goal of containing and controlling agitation, numerous restrictions have been placed upon neighbourhood journalists, preventing them from reporting the genuine degree of the affliction incurred. Kashmiri columnists have been debilitated, whipped and choked, as the paramilitary strengths have declined to respect their ‘check in time’ passes. In a few examples, the administration has declined to issue them passes altogether.
Kashmir is a core question for Pakistan and India and it ought to be determined through dialogue, not by crossing out remote secretary level talks. Pakistan needs arrangement of Kashmir issue as per the wishes and yearnings of the Kashmiri individuals and this is conceivable only under the UN resolutions. India cannot stifle the voice of the Kashmiris and until the kashmir dispute is settled, Pakistan will continue fighting for their political and legal rights.
