APHC welcomes Tayyip Erdogan for raising Kashmir issue at UN

The Kashmir dispute came back into focus at the global stage when Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan raised the issue during the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. His call for resolving the dispute through UN resolutions and real dialogue was warmly welcomed by the All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC). For Kashmiris who continue to live under heavy troops and daily repression, Erdogan’s words carried both weight and hope. They exposed India’s false story and reminded the world that silence on Kashmir is no longer possible.

Erdogan’s Words And Their Value

President Erdogan’s statement was clear. He welcomed the ceasefire between India and Pakistan but said that real peace will only come once the Kashmir issue is solved through UN resolutions.

Importance Of His Statement:

• Erdogan said the issue must be solved in the best interests of the people of Kashmir.
• He stressed that dialogue based on UN principles is the only way to ensure lasting peace.
• Turkey’s role in the OIC Contact Group shows that Ankara has always backed the Kashmiri cause.

Reminder For India:

• Erdogan reminded the world that Kashmir is not an internal matter but an international dispute.
• By speaking at the UN, he broke India’s illusion that the world accepts its claims of normalcy.
• His call showed that international law and UN commitments cannot be ignored.

APHC’s Response And Global Meaning

The APHC welcomed Erdogan’s remarks and called them a strong rejection of India’s false claims.

APHC’s Stand:

• The Hurriyat said Erdogan’s words were an eye-opener for India, which keeps denying the truth.
• It noted that the world is now more aware of India’s human rights abuses in Kashmir.
• Modi’s claims of peace and growth are false as killings, arrests, and curbs continue.

Global Role:

• The APHC asked UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres to take steps for the Security Council resolutions to be applied.
• It stressed that Kashmir is not just a border issue but a question of rights for millions.
• Turkey’s open support proved that Kashmir is still alive on the global stage.

India’s Brutality Under Modi

While Erdogan called for peace, life in Kashmir continues to be ruled by violence and fear. Since the removal of Article 370 in 2019, the Modi government has only increased the suffering of the people.

State Repression:

• Thousands have been jailed under harsh laws without fair trial.
• Curfews, media curbs, and shutdowns of phones and internet have become routine.
• Indian forces continue to fire bullets, pellets, and carry out mass arrests.

False Face Of Democracy:

• India calls itself the largest democracy but denies basic rights in Kashmir.
• Modi hides behind claims of development while people live under force.
• The gap between India’s image and the ground reality is now fully exposed.

Kashmir After Article 370

India’s move to revoke Article 370 was presented as progress, but for the people it has only meant more control and less freedom.

Broken Promises:

• Ladakh and Jammu and Kashmir were made Union Territories under direct Delhi rule.
• Protections for land, jobs, and culture were removed despite promises.
• The outcome has been unrest, frustration, and alienation.

Expanding Control:

• The Modi government is changing laws to alter the region’s political and social set-up.
• Local leaders are jailed or silenced to reduce representation.
• Instead of talks, India relies on force and troops.

Silence Of World Powers

India’s crimes continue because major powers remain quiet. While they speak loudly on rights elsewhere, they stay silent on Kashmir due to trade and ties with India.

Global Duty:

• The UN has passed resolutions giving Kashmiris the right to decide their future.
• These resolutions remain unfulfilled, hurting the UN’s own credibility.
• The Secretary General must act and push India towards talks.

Silence Means Complicity:

• World powers value trade with India more than human rights.
• Their silence gives Modi’s government space to continue violence.
• By staying quiet, they become part of the injustice faced by Kashmiris.

Turkey’s Steady Role

Among Muslim states, Turkey has been one of the most steady voices for Kashmir. Its support has given hope to Kashmiris who often feel forgotten.

Constant Support:

• Turkey has always called Kashmir a humanitarian issue, not just a dispute.
• Its role in the OIC Contact Group has kept the matter alive in global forums.
• Erdogan’s latest speech proves Turkey’s firm stand on the issue.

Impact On Kashmiris:

• Support from abroad lifts the morale of Kashmiris under occupation.
• Erdogan’s words prove that the truth cannot be buried by Indian censorship.
• Such voices show that India cannot close the issue by force.

Kashmir As A Humanitarian Crisis

At the heart of the Kashmir issue is human suffering. It is not only about land but about people who live under force and fear.

Human Cost:

• Entire generations have grown up under the shadow of troops, checkpoints, and raids.
• Thousands have died in clashes, leaving families to mourn without justice.
• Every demand for rights is answered with bullets, jail, and curbs.

Urgent Call For Justice:

• Kashmir must be treated as a humanitarian crisis needing urgent attention.
• Without addressing the pain of its people, peace in South Asia will not be possible.
• Only global pressure can force India to change its policy.

Conclusion: India Must Face Global Pressure

President Erdogan’s words at the UNGA showed once again that the Kashmir issue is not buried. The APHC’s welcome proves that the people of Kashmir look to such voices for strength, but they also need real action. Modi’s rule in Kashmir has destroyed India’s image of democracy and left it exposed as a state of force and lies.

The global community can no longer stay silent. The UN and world powers must hold India accountable and enforce their own resolutions. Kashmir is not an internal matter. It is a global issue and a humanitarian crisis. Erdogan’s words have reminded the world of its duty. Now action must follow to give the people of Kashmir the justice, dignity, and freedom they deserve.
