Former Interior Minister, Chairman Senate Standing Committee on Interior Rehman Malik has stated that Hindutva is a major threat to peace of South Asia as India wants to expand more under this ideology.
He said that Hindutva was the main ideology which resisted the partition and independence of Pakistan. He added that BJP has strong nexus with RSS and PM Modi is its life time member and activist.
He expressed these views during launching ceremony of the book “Bleeding Kashmir”. The book was launched in a simple but highly impressive ceremony was attended by Syed Fakhar Imam Chairman Parliamentary Committee on Kashmir, Senator Azam Khan Swati Federal Minister for Parliamentary Affairs, Senator Shibli Faraz leader of the house in Senate, Senator John Keneenth William, Senator Mushahid Hussain Syed, Senator Mushahid Ullah, Senator Javed Abbasi, Senator Syed Sabir Shah, Senator Sitara Ayaz, former Deputy Speaker National Assembly Faisal Karim Kundi and a number of leaders of All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) leaders including Dr. Farooq Rehmani, Ms. Shamim Shall and Syed Nazir Gillani.
The ceremony was also attended by Ambassadors of Palestine, Jordon, Iran, Bosnia Herzegovina and Azerbaijan, senior journalists and people from different walk of life.
Senator A. Rehman Malik in his opening remarks welcomed the distinguished guests and briefed the audiences about the book. He said that both BJP and RSS want to undermine the Muslim community and other minorities living in India under Hindutva.
He said that the contentious and discriminatory Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC) are part of BJP’s plan to implement the RSS’ ideology of Hindutva.
He “in fact, BJP and RSS wanted to extend the Hindutva ideology to other countries of the region including Iran and Afghanistan but Pakistan is the main obstacle for them to achieve their malicious aim”.
Senator A. Rehman Malik said that today is the 198th day of Indian cruel curfew in Kashmir turning the whole valley into the world largest jail however he is shocked that the international community including UN and OIC are silent spectators to the Indian brutalities.
He said that Indian Forces under PM Modi are committing unprecedented brutalities in terms of mass murdering, mass blinding through pelleting, rapes, tortures, enforced disappearances, political repression and suppression of freedom of speech.
He urged the government to file a law suit in the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court under the Rome Statute against Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his crimes against humanity and genocide in occupied Kashmir.
He advised the government to follow the precedent set by Gambian Minister of Justice Abubacarr Marie Tambadou who picked the courage and presented the case of Rohingiya massacre before the ICJ based on the report of Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).
He asked the government to request UN to appoint a Plebiscite Administrator in Kashmir and fix a date for plebiscite as per the Resolutions of UNSC.
Mushahid Hussain Syed in his speech highly appreciated the tireless efforts of Senator A. Rehman Malik for his contributions in documenting the Kashmir issue. He said that Kashmir is the most sensitive and important topic to be undertaken as the subject of his book.
He said that yesterday during their meeting with UN Secretary General, Senator Rehman Malik was vocal and emotional in raising the Kashmir issue. Leader of the House Senator Shibli Faraz commended the work of Senator Rehman Malik on Kashmir both in the Senate and in the forms of books and articles.
He said “Senator Rehman Malik has selected the unique medium to contribute for Kashmir cause”. Senator Javed Abbasi while speaking to the ceremony expressed gratitude to Senator Rehman Malik for documenting then facts in highly precise manner. He said that in earlier book “Modi’s war doctrine”, Senator A. Rehman Malik has predicted that just after winning the elections, Modi will be more aggressive for the implementation of RSS agenda on Kashmir and today I applaud him for his farsightedness.
