Online Conference on ‘’Exposing India as a Fake Union vis-à-vis Atrocities by the BJP Regime’’ was jointly organized by the Press Information Department (PID), Federal Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, and Center for Global and Strategic Studies (CGSS) Islamabad.
The Online Conference aimed to unveil the tyrannies by the Indian government after the so-called declared ‘Indian Independence Day’ by Jawaharlal Nehru. The conference also integrated experts to discuss India’s imperfect/fake union of contradictory ideologies and provide suggestions to counter radicalization by the fascist Modi regime.
Guest of Honor His Highness Nawab Jahangir Khanji, Nawab of Junagadh discussed how the Nawab of Junaghar Mohammad Mahabat Khanji III decided to join Pakistan. It was not his desire rather the decision was taken by the state union. However Indian army forcefully annexed the state with India. Since independence India is doing atrocities against Muslims and other religious groups. This clearly shows the intentions of India to create a Hindu state. They are misguiding the youth by spreading fake news about Pakistan and Muslims. He thanked CGSS for supporting the rightful right of the state of Junagarh. He highlighted that we want to take the issue of Junagarh to different international platforms as we will not rest and will not stay quiet till we have achieved the goal of the liberation of Junagarh.
Advocate Ahmer Bilal Soofi, Former Federal Law Minister, shared his views on the topic of Applying Human Right Laws in the Indian Occupied Kashmir with Reference to the Non-Violent Movement.
He discussed that Pakistan has always tried to maintain its bilateral relations with India to enhance the prospects for regional peace. However, the Indian government has always setback Pakistan’s efforts with its oppressive and extremist policies.
Furthermore, violations by India in Kashmir since 5th August 2019. To counter the reaction of Kashmiris, the Indian government took preemptive action. Several Indian troops were deployed to the region. Section 144 was imposed under which any type of free movement or congregation of Kashmiris was restricted. Internet and mobile services were suspended to cut the contact of Kashmiri people with the world. He suggested that the international community must take action against Indian atrocities as Kashmiri people are not just feeling repressed rather, they are feeling left out. He also suggested that legal aid must be arranged for the people of Kashmir to help them in their resistance against illegal occupation.
H.E Sahibzada Sultan Ahmed Ali, Chairman, MUSLIM Institute, shared his views on the topic Junagarh is Pakistan: Exploring Historical facts and Indian Manipulation. He discussed the forceful annexation of Junagarh by India against the will of Nawab of Junagarh. Indian army advanced its troops in the Junagarh state creating a situation of chaos. Pakistan’s government condemned this violent act by the Indian army.
He further discussed that the forceful annexation of Junagarh is not just the occupation rather it is an invasion and unlawful under International Law. The slogan of Indian Nationalism is the biggest political fraud of the 20th century which is constructed to maintain Indian illegal occupation and hegemony in the region.
Dr. Mahboob Hussain, Chairman, Department of History and Pakistan Studies, University of Punjab, Lahore discussed the Forced Annexation of Goa, Assam, and Hyderabad: Analysis on minority crisis in India.
He commenced his presentation by unveiling the non-secular mindset of RSS and BJP. The state of India claims to be a Secular Democracy but the famous incidents like Babri Masjid and massacre of Muslims in Gujrat clearly show the non-secular face of the Indian government.
He further discussed how India is misusing media to propagate the ideology of Hindutva to achieve its goal of creating Hindu Rashtra. The Modi government is conducting massive atrocities against religious minorities living in India. The revocation of Article 370 and the Citizenship Amendment Act 2019 shows the fascist elements of Indian policy. India’s extremist and oppressive policies are not just a concern for the state’s internal security rather it has regional implications too. There is a huge criticism from international media against India’s nationalist policies. Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has also raised his voice on several international platforms in support of Kashmir.
Dr. Aiysha Safdar, Head of International Relations Department, Kinnaird College for Women University, Lahore shared her analysis on the topic BJP-RAW nexus: Detrimental to regional peace and stability.
She highlighted that RAW since its establishment is trying to counter the regional influence of Pakistan and China. It plays no role in internal domestic matters. of India. The field of operation was and has largely remained outside the country. It played a major role in sparking the civil war in Pakistan.
She further discussed that a powerful effort now appears to be underway to trump up the anti-Pakistan narrative abroad using the country’s diplomatic corps and diaspora using modern technology including social media. Modi’s obsession with Pakistan makes RAW an important factor in creating a negative narrative of Pakistan. RAW-BJP nexus is playing a crucial role in decaying Pakistan's positive image internationally. The major objective behind this is to shift global attention from what is happening in India.
Dr. Muhammad Khan, Department of Politics & International Relations, International Islamic University, Islamabad explained Modi’s Atrocities in Kashmir: Assessing latest situation and options for Pakistan.
He discussed that India's unilateral action of scrapping the special status of India with the abrogation of Article 370 will never be accepted by the people of Kashmir. By giving an overview of the history, he explained that since 1947 India is violating fundamental human rights in Kashmir.
Furthermore, India continues to be the site of significant human rights violations. Indian forces are assaulting the people of Kashmir irrespective of age and gender. Widespread abuses were carried out including unlawful and arbitrary killings, torture, and extrajudicial killings by police and security forces. The government officials were involved in cruel crimes like arbitrary arrests, rape, torture, and corruption. He suggested that the Kashmir policy must entail the strategies like compelling India to immediately stop the human rights violations in IIOJK, and demilitarization of population centers in IIOJK, restricting military deployment only along the ceasefire line.
Ms. Maryam Raza, Research Executive, Center for Global and Strategic Studies highlighted that the forceful annexation of Kashmir, Goa, Assam, Hyderabad & Junagarh reveals the fascist mentality and failed democracy. India has been conducting massive Human Rights violations against several communal groups. We must expose Indian false secular claims in light of the historical and recent events and unveil their false façade to the international world.
The conference was moderated by Ms. Laraib Fatima Hassan, Communication & Coordination Executive, Center for Global & Strategic Studies (CGSS), Islamabad. It was attended by 50 participants and was also viewed live on various social media platforms. .
