ISLAMABAD: Mushaal Hussein Mullick, the wife of jailed Kashmiri Hurriyat leader Mohammad Yasin Malik on Wednesday said that the Kashmir freedom struggle will continue till its logical conclusion.

She was speaking as chief guest at an event held on Kashmir Solidarity Day observed across both sides of the line of control and elsewhere in the world to urge world powers and the UN to action resolve the Kashmir dispute.

The event was organised by the Pakistan Cultural Forum to express support for the Kashmiri people`s struggle to achieve their right to self-determination.

`The Indian government, notorious for its oppressive policies, has turned the once heaven-like valley into hell through decades of systematic oppression and suppression,` Mushaal stated.

Prominent figures from various walks of life, including politicians, intellectuals and artists participated in the event.

Earlier, Mushaal, who is also the Chairperson of the Peace and Culture Organisation, led a Kashmir Solidarity Walk with members of civil society from Kulsum International Hospital to D Chowk.

The walk aimed to highlight the policies of the Narendra Modi-led Indian government, including forced disappearances, torture and extrajudicial killings in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).

Mushaal emphasised that the day serves as a reminder to the global community of its responsibility toward the oppressed Kashmiri people. She urged the United Nations (UN) to honour the promises made to the Kashmiris 78 years ago and to support their struggle for the right to self-determination.

The Hurriyat leader emphasised the need for collective action to raise awareness about the plight of the Kashmiri people and to pressure the international community to intervene in resolving the longstanding dispute.

She also paid tribute to the sacrifices of Kashmiri martyrs and vowed that they would continue their struggle until a just resolution of the Kashmir dispute is achieved, in accordance with the UN-agreed formula and the aspirations of the people of the scenic valley.

Mushaal urged the international community to break its silence and take immediate notice of the human rights abuses perpetrated in occupied Kashmir.

She emphasised the imperative of collective action to halt the bloodshed and work towards a durable, peaceful resolution of the protracted conflict, aligning with the aspirations of the Kashmiri people and UN resolutions.

The chairperson highlighted the Indian atrocities and inhuman acts inflicted upon prisoners, particularly her husband Yasin Malik, and others.

Mushaal said that the international community`s silence on the Kashmir issue was deafening, as despite the gross human rights violations, forced disappearances, torture and extrajudicial killings, the world failed to take any action.

`The so-called human rights organisations remained tightlipped and observed criminal silence over the unabated war crimes being committed by the supremacist Indian government.

Mushaal said that her husband has been languishing in the notorious Tihar Jail, in India, for years.

She expressed concern about his health and wellbeing, fearing that he may be awarded a death sentence in politically motivated cases.
