The arrest of Sardar Altaf Khan President of UKPNP District Sdhnuti
along with Qari Niseer President of Transport union Trarkhel is an
act of violation and harassment by the state authorities in order to
please the Pakistani agencies those are real cause of their arrests.
While police is still harassing other UKPNP leaders and their
families in order to silence the protest they have launched for the
economical and political rights of the Area. The arrests have been
made purely on the behalf and direction of Pakistani intelligence
agencies in order to harass the UKPNP leaders and carders and those who raise their voices for the political and economical rights of the people of Pakistan controlled Kashmir.
Sardar Shaukat Ali Kashmir Chairman UKPNP, and Mumtaz Khan chief Organizer have condemned the arrests and continuous harassment of political leaders and activists, and demanded immediate release of the detainees and to stop the harassment of other activists.
They said in their joint statement that state authorities cannot stop
people from raising their voice against the economical and political discrimination and injustice existing within the Pakistan controlled part. Pakistan government which misses no opportunity to raise the issue of human rights of Indian controlled Kashmir but denying the same rights and suppressing people voices in its controlled parts doesn�t correspond to its claims about the Kashmiri�s.
They said there is no difference between India and Pakistan policies when question of Kashmiri�s economical and political rights is raised.
Pakistani rulers such practices are not only violation of fundamental rights but also fall beyond the mandate of UN resolutions to which its owes its presence, and forcing or suppressing the voices of common people exposes its real face and claims it makes regarding the aspiration of Kashmiri�s.
The inability of local authorities and government to protect the
basic rights of the people of Pakistan controlled part deserve
immediate attention of world human rights organization and media to end this act of suppress regarding that we have approached and enlightened them with the current situation and demanded to take an urgent action to seek release of the detained leaders.
