Berlin, June 9: Shafi Burfat, Chairman of the Jeay Sindh Muttahida Mahaz (JSM), has appealed to India and the global community to raise their voices against the brutality and fascism perpetrated by the Pakistani army in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (POK), Sindh, and other regions. Burfat urged nations, including India, to support the fight for freedom and dignity of the people residing in POK.
This appeal comes in the wake of a clash on June 7 in the Rawalkot area of POK, where seven civilians were reported killed during protests by the newly banned Joint Action Committee (JAC), according to a report by the Pakistani newspaper Dawn.
Burfat condemned the open cruelty, fascism, and crimes against innocent people in POK by the Pakistani military and intelligence agencies. He called upon the United Nations, India, Europe, the UK, the Middle East, East Asia, Africa, Central Asia, and all civilized nations to immediately address the genocide, human rights violations, and state-sponsored atrocities occurring in POK.
The Sindhi leader accused the Pakistani military of conducting a campaign of oppression and bloodshed against the general populace throughout POK. He specifically appealed to India, the world’s largest democracy, and international democratic institutions to intervene and assist in protecting the people from Pakistan’s tyranny, occupation, slavery, and fascist rule.
Burfat alleged that the Pakistani military has descended into open dictatorship, fascism, and cruelty. He warned that failing to confront state-sponsored terrorism, fascism, and brutality by the Pakistani government poses a growing threat not only to the people of the region but also to global peace, security, political stability, and economic prosperity.
He stated, “The international community can no longer remain silent in the face of such orchestrated oppression. It is time for the world to acknowledge the real situation of oppressed communities under Pakistan’s rule and stand firmly in support of justice, freedom, human rights, and the universal principle of self-determination.”
