All Parties Hurriyat Conference leader Farida Behenji has termed the holding of judges’ conference in Srinagar as another attempt to mislead the inter-national community about Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
Farida Behenji in a statement issued in Srinagar said there is no moral justification for the Indian judiciary to hold a conference of judges in the occu-pied territory because its attitude towards Jammu and Kashmir and its people has always been based on prejudice. She said holding the so-called conference of judges is like rubbing salt on the wounds of Kashmiris.
She said the Indian judiciary has miserably failed to provide justice to Kashmiris according to interna-tional standards of human rights. She said hundreds of cases are pending in Indian courts but the Indian judiciary has failed to provide justice to Kashmiris and punish the officials involved in these heinous crimes.
Farida Behenji said the Indian judicial system is constantly failing to provide justice to the oppressed Kashmiris. She said India is deviating from its obli-gations under international agreements by not pro-viding justice to the victims of human rights viola-tions in IIOJK.
He said sentencing Kashmiri Hurriyat leader Muhammad Yasin Malik to life imprisonment in a false case is a clear example of using the Indian judiciary as a state weapon to suppress the freedom struggle of Kashmiris.
She added that the judicial killing of Shaheed Maqbool Butt and Afzal Guru was a stain that the Indian judiciary could not erase from its face. She said the Indian judiciary, which has the reputation of giving judgments against Kashmiris at the behest of the Modi government, is directly responsible for the uncertainty in the territory.
The Indian government is using its kangaroo courts for nefarious purposes and Kashmiris have no hope of justice from them, she maintained.—KMS
