| PoJK residents being used as human shields | | Protest against Pak | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Apr 1: People of Pakistan-occupied-Jammu & Kashmir (PoJK) have accused Pakistani Army of using them as human shields and said that instead of protecting the residents of PoJK, it was perpetrating brutalities on them.
A report from Muzaffarabad Saturday said: "Residents of Pakistan-occupied (-Jammu &) Kashmir are protesting against the Government of Pakistan and the army, forcing them to stop firing across the border in India. A protest rally led by the Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) and other parties from Tetri Mor to Mazarpur was baton charged and fired upon by the local police. The protesters then retaliated by setting fire to army posts in the area".
Report from Pakistan and PoJK also said that residents of Muzzafarabad also carried out protests against Army brutality.
Condemning the barbarities being perpetrated by the Pakistani Army on the residents of PoJK and accusing the Pakistani authorities of denying them the right to speech, activist Mir Zafar Suleria said that "Pakistani intelligence agencies were not allowing any protests near the border against firing of mortar shells" and that "the army was using locals as human shields, and using their houses to fire at India". "The resulting return fire would then destroy those home, giving rise to a huge number of casualties," Mir Zafar Suleria was quoted as saying.
Agitated Suleria claimed that "Farooq Haider Khan, Prime Minister of Pakistan-occupied-Jammu & Kashmir was deliberately using civilians as human shields" and that "he wanted India to fire at civilians to further the army's propaganda.
"For the past 70 years, the army claims to be here for our protection, but why are they using us as shields to carry out attacks. It shows that the government is deliberately wanting people to die so that they get a chance to promote their propaganda. We condemn it and nationalists in PoJK are united in launching a protest against the Pakistan and PoK governments," Suleria further said.
It is strange that while PoJK-based JKLF is protesting the Pakistani barbarities, the Valley-JKLF is speaking for Pakistan, condemning New Delhi and instigating gullible Kashmiri Muslims against New Delhi. The Kashmir-based separatists would do well to remember that Pakistan would convert Kashmir into PoJK and Balochistan in case Pakistan succeeded in its game plan. |
