His Excellency, Dr J Bhagwati
Indian High Commissioner in the
Dated: 22 July 2013
Dear Dr Bhagwati
Re: The abominable outrage of the
desecration of the Holy Quran and the Gool massacre of peaceful protesters on
Your
Excellency if entering in to a mosque and desecration of the Holy Quran,
beating up of people at prayers in the Holy month of Ramadan was not enough,
the Border Security force-BSF -a paramilitary force deployed in huge numbers
by the Indian Government in Kashmir - killed six innocent Kashmiris who had
come out to protest peacefully against this abominable outrage perpetrated by
the BSF in the Gool area of Ramban district in Jammu on Thursday 18 July
2013.
This
protest note lodged through your Excellency by the Jammu Kashmir Liberation
Front-JKLF- today is to express and put on record our strong condemnation and
utter disgust of the cowardly and callous actions of the BSF in Gool, and to
convey deep hurt and anguish of Kashmiris in Britain, over the desecration of
the Holy Quran and the killing of six innocent civilians.
Your
Excellency such outrages committed by Indian forces have become a norm in
Gool
massacre is the latest chapter-and alas will not be the last- in the ongoing
state oppression and violence unleashed against Kashmiris by over 700,000
Indian military and paramilitary forces particularly since 1988 that has
resulted in deaths of tens of thousands of men, women, children, young and
old alike as well as disappearance of hundreds of Kashmiri youth.
Indeed
since the unpardonable action of the BSF in Gool on 18 July, further deaths
and injuries are reported across various towns and hamlets of Jammu Kashmir
with imposition of curfew, curtailing of internet and phone services.
Kashmiri
leadership is prevented to meet and console the aggrieved in their hour of
sorrow. MrYasin Malik Chairman of the JKLF and other prominent leaders like
Syed Ali Gilani and Shabir Shah has been put under arrest.
Your
Excellency Kashmir is a political issue whose future status is yet to be
decided upon with reference to the unfettered expression and will of 20
million Kashmiris across both sides of the Line of Control-LoC- that
arbitrarily divides Jammu Kashmir between
And
yet
Inevitably
the way forward for a peaceful solution on the future status of Jammu Kashmir
is through dialogue. Your Excellency
In
the meantime your Excellency, it remains to be seen as a test of the criminal
justice system and democracy in
