JAMMU, Oct 22: Ashwani Kumar Chrungoo, senior BJP and Kashmiri Pandit leader and incharge Department of Political Affairs and Feedback, J&K-BJP said, “the armed aggression of Pakistan along with the tribesmen in 1947 on the then Jammu and Kashmir State was an open act of genocidal action against the minorities of the State which left hundreds of thousands of them as refugees in their own land besides thousands of killings, rapes and loot in almost all areas under crusade of the Pak-army and tribesmen”.
Addressing a seminar on the occasion of the observance of “Black Day” throughout the world in connection with Pakistan’s raid on Jammu & Kashmir on October, 1947, he said it has been 73 years of unlawful occupation of Jammu and Kashmir territory by the State of Pakistan. On 22nd October 1947, Pakistani troops aided by tribal mercenaries stormed into the Indian State of Jammu and Kashmir, illegally took over the territory, and have since committed a series of human rights violations on the people of Jammu and Kashmir in Gilgit, Baltistan and the other Punjabi speaking areas of Muzfarabad, Mirpur, Kotli, Bimbar and Plandri.
Chrungoo, who is also a human rights activist added, “the Pak army indulged in mindless Genocide, rapes, arson and looting of Hindus, Sikhs, Christians and even the loyal Muslims of the Mahraja’s forces. It was an orgy of invasion of Pakistan coupled with terrorism, violence and loot as state strategy”.
