Muzaffarabad, In a significant appeal, President of Azad Jammu and Kashmir Barrister Sultan Mahmood Chaudhry criticized Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s policies in Occupied Kashmir, attributing them to electoral ambitions tied to the upcoming general elections in India. He called on the international Kashmiri community, particularly those based in America, to intensify their efforts to expose what he described as the “cruel intentions� of the Indian government.
According to Press Information Department – Azad Jammu and Kashmir, President Chaudhry made these remarks during a meeting with a delegation of overseas Kashmiris at the President’s Kashmir House in Islamabad. He highlighted Modi’s adherence to Hindutva policies and alleged use of illegal tactics to influence the upcoming elections. Chaudhry’s statements come at a time when tensions in Kashmir remain high, with frequent international calls for resolution and peace.
The President emphasized the active role that Kashmiris abroad, especially in America, have historically played in advocating for Kashmiri rights and bringing international attention to the issue. He urged them to continue their efforts to reveal the adverse actions and strategies of the Indian government and intelligence agencies on global platforms.
The meeting also addressed the recent allegations of Indian involvement in international terrorism, citing Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s statement to the Canadian Parliament regarding the killing of Sikh leader Hardeep Singh Najar, which President Chaudhry used to further criticize Modi’s global influence.
President Chaudhry expressed gratitude towards the Kashmiri diaspora in the U.S. for their persistent support and active campaigning, which keeps the Kashmir issue alive on international forums. He reaffirmed the necessity of resolving the Kashmir conflict in accordance with United Nations resolutions and stressed the importance of granting the Kashmiri people their right to self-determination.
The delegation of overseas Kashmiris, led by Sardar Zulfiqar Roshan and including renowned intellectual Dr. Waleed Rasool, paid tribute to President Chaudhry for his dedication to the Kashmir cause and his efforts to highlight ongoing issues in the region.
