Renowned human rights activist Carin Jodha Fischer, who spent many years in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, has explained in detail the Jammu massacre.
According to Kashmir Media Service, hundreds of thousands of Kashmiri Muslims were martyred by the forces of Dogra Maharaja Hari Singh, Indian Army and Hindu fanatics in different parts of Jammu region while they were migrating to Pakistan weeks after the partition of Indian sub-continent into Pakistan and India in August 1947.
At her speech on the Kashmir Black Day (October 27) event held at Pakistan Consulate in New York, Fischer explained how RSS-backed groups were conspiring to defame Pakistan by falsely projecting the situation in Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan.
Fischer, an American citizen of German origin, said that last month, she attended an event at GWU (George Washington University) called “1st Annual Convention on Forgotten Genocides.” It was hosted by the International Commission for Human Rights and Religious Freedom which is led by members of the Indian American extreme Hindu organizations funded by the RSS and the Indian diaspora. Several Kashmiri Hindus co-moderated the event. One leading participant from an organization called HinduAction spoke about the genocide of Kashmiri Hindus and how Kashmir would never be able to reclaim its ancient Bharat glory until Hindu majority was “restored” in both regions and not just Jammu. He also spoke about the 1971 Civil War in East Pakistan and how his group was lobbying to have it declared genocide of Hindus committed by Pakistan, she told.
The activist said other genocides discussed were the alleged Armenian Genocide in Turkey, the current situation of Armenians in Azerbaijan, and alleged ethnic cleansing of Kurds by Turkey.—KMS
