Muzaffarabad, May 05, 2020 (PPI-OT): Sardar Masood Khan, President Azad Jammu and Kashmir, replying to Indian Prime Minister’s accusation at the Non-Aligned Movement moot that “some countries are spreading ‘other deadly viruses’ such as terrorism, fake news and doctored videos”; said that these allegations are what you (Modi) and the RSS specializes in. He added that “no one would dare poach on your territory”.
While commenting on the recent remarks of Narendra Modi through numerous tweets from his official Twitter handle, the AJK President said that the current fascist regime can come to an end if a truly democratic force rises in India. He said that this rising fascism in a new garb projected by the current BJP-RSS the government must be stopped in its tracks.
President Masood Khan in another tweet while responding to India’s strong protest with Pakistan over moves to hold elections in Gilgit-Baltistan said that “India should vacate Occupied Jammu and Kashmir without caveats and qualifications. The people and the land are not part of the Indian Federation. End the occupation forthwith”. He said that as an occupier it (India) has occupied an internationally recognized disputed territory and has illegally called it an “integral part” of the Indian Union.
The President also in a tweet categorically rejected British Labour Party leader Sir Keir Starmer’s argument that Kashmir is a bilateral issue. The President while referring to a Kashmir conference held last year in the House of Commons, hosted by Conservative MP Paul Bristow said that the conference was attended by 50 MPs and Peers, majority Conservatives, followed by Labour, Lib-Dems and S and P. “Kashmir is a cross-party issue (in the UK)”, he said
Masood Khan also extended his felicitations to Associated Press’s (AP) photographers Dar Yasin, Mukhtar Khan and Channi Anand who have been awarded the 2020 Pulitzer Prize for extraordinary photojournalism of the crisis and military lockdown in IOJK. “Bravo! … they put their lives at risk to cover brutal lockdown in Occupied Jammu and Kashmir”, said Masood Khan.
