5th February – Kashmir Solidarity Day: Exposing India’s Brutal Occupation, State Terror, and Systematic Crimes in IIOJK

Kashmir Solidarity Day as Pakistan’s Collective Rejection of Indian Occupation

Pakistan observes 5th February as Kashmir Solidarity Day to openly reject India’s illegal and brutal occupation of Jammu and Kashmir. This day reflects national unity against Indian oppression and injustice. Across Pakistan, rallies, human chains, seminars, and prayers are held to express solidarity with Kashmiris. The message is clear and strong that Kashmiris are not alone. Pakistan stands firmly against India’s forced control over the region.

Pakistan’s Legal, Moral, and Political Responsibility Toward Kashmir

Pakistan’s support for Kashmir is based on international law and moral duty. Kashmir is a recognized dispute under United Nations Security Council resolutions. India’s claim that Kashmir is its internal matter is a blatant lie. Pakistan continues to raise the issue despite Indian pressure and propaganda. This principled stance reflects Pakistan’s commitment to justice.

India’s Illegal Occupation Maintained Through Extreme Militarization

India controls IIOJK through massive military force rather than public consent. More than one million Indian troops are deployed in the region. Kashmir has been turned into one of the most militarized zones in the world. This level of force exposes India’s fear of the Kashmiri people. A true democracy does not occupy land with guns.

Black Laws Used by India to Protect State Terrorism

India enforces cruel laws like AFSPA, PSA, and UAPA to shield its forces from accountability. These laws allow arrests without warrants and detention without trial. Innocent Kashmiris are imprisoned for years on false charges. Courts remain powerless under these laws. This legal cover enables state terrorism.

Extrajudicial Killings and Fake Encounters as Routine Practice

Indian forces routinely kill Kashmiris in fake encounters. These staged operations are used to justify brutality. Families are denied justice and transparency. Custodial and fake encounter killings now stand at 7,411 since 1989. This reflects a clear pattern of state-sponsored murder.

Pellet Guns and the Deliberate Blinding of Kashmiri Youth

India uses pellet guns to permanently blind Kashmiri protesters. Hundreds of young boys and girls have lost eyesight. This weapon is designed to punish dissent, not control crowds. Such cruelty has no place in civilized societies. India uses fear to silence voices.

August 2019: India’s Illegal Revocation of Articles 370 and 35A

In August 2019, India illegally revoked Article 370 and Article 35A without Kashmiri consent. This act violated international law and UN resolutions. A complete lockdown followed with curfews and communication blackouts. Kashmir was turned into an open-air prison. This exposed India’s colonial ambitions.

Demographic Engineering and Settler Colonialism in Kashmir

India is forcefully altering Kashmir’s Muslim-majority identity. New domicile laws allow outsiders to settle permanently. Over 80,000 non-native settlers have already been registered. Local Kashmiris are being pushed out of jobs and land. This is a clear attempt at demographic invasion.

Land Seizures and Forced Evictions as a Tool of Control

Indian authorities confiscate land under fake legal pretexts. Homes are demolished without notice or compensation. Entire families are made homeless overnight. This policy aims to break Kashmiri social structure. Economic displacement is used to crush resistance.

Economic Strangulation to Weaken Kashmiri Society

Local businesses are systematically destroyed. Jobs and government contracts are handed to outsiders. Tourism revenue is diverted to Indian companies. Kashmir’s economy is deliberately suffocated. Poverty is weaponized to silence opposition.

Attack on Education and Cultural Identity Through Hindutva Ideology

Schools and universities are forced to promote Hindutva ideology. Kashmiri history is erased from textbooks and libraries. Hindu slogans are imposed in classrooms. Muslim Kashmiris were denied admission at SMVDIME, exposing religious discrimination. Education is used to erase identity.

Criminalization of Peaceful Kashmiri Voices and Resistance

India brands peaceful dissent as terrorism. Activists, students, and political workers are charged under anti-terror laws. Protesters are treated as criminals. This false narrative is designed to mislead the international community. India fears Kashmiri political awareness.

Cordon and Search Operations as Collective Punishment

Indian forces conducted 23,422 cordon and search operations, spreading fear across communities. These operations resulted in 1,047 killings and rape of 139 women. More than 1,700 homes were demolished. At least 32,816 Kashmiris were illegally detained. These raids are acts of terror.

Targeted Arrests of Journalists, Lawyers, and Intellectuals

India arrests journalists, lawyers, professors, and students to silence truth. Media freedom is crushed. Intellectual leadership is dismantled deliberately. This white-collar repression aims to weaken society from within. India fears educated resistance.

Mass Killings and Arrests Reveal Decades of State Violence

From January 1989 till December 2025, Indian forces martyred 96,483 civilians. Among them, 7,411 were killed in custody or fake encounters. A total of 180,080 civilians were arrested. These figures expose systematic violence, not law enforcement.

Women Widowed, Children Orphaned, and Families Destroyed

Indian state violence destroyed or damaged 110,562 houses and structures. As a result, 22,991 women were widowed and 108,007 children were orphaned. At least 11,269 women were gang-raped or molested. These crimes expose India’s moral collapse.

Post-August 2019 Surge in Killings and Torture

From August 5, 2019 till December 2025, total killings reached 1,050, including 287 custodial or fake encounters. At least 2,660 Kashmiris were tortured or critically injured. 33,141 people were arrested, and 1,168 incidents of arson were recorded. This period marks intensified repression.

January 2026: Continued Indian Brutality Without Accountability

In January 2026, Indian forces killed 2 Kashmiris, both in custody or fake encounters. 62 people were arrested, while 2 were tortured or critically injured. These figures show repression continues daily. India has learned nothing from global criticism. Brutality remains policy.

Global Human Rights Reports Confirm Indian Crimes

Organizations like UN, Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch have repeatedly exposed Indian abuses. On 24 November, UN experts condemned Indian counter-terror operations in IIOJK. These reports validate Kashmiri suffering. India cannot hide the truth forever.

International Silence Strengthening Indian Oppression

Global silence emboldens Indian crimes. Ignoring violations encourages more brutality. Demographic manipulation will never bring peace. Accountability is essential for stability. Silence is indirect support for oppression.

Pakistan’s Unwavering Support and Kashmir’s Inevitable Freedom

Pakistan will stand with Kashmir until freedom is achieved. Kashmir is not a regional issue but a test of global conscience. Indian brutality cannot erase Kashmiri identity. Resistance will continue with dignity. Kashmir will rise, and Kashmir will be free from Indian occupation.
