Occupied Kashmir Bleeds and Pakistan's New Rulers Seek to Befriend their Oppressors

News:

The Indian army remained tight-lipped on Saturday, 15^th September 2018, after a picture circulated on social media showed Indian soldiers dragging the dead body of a Kashmiri freedom fighter by his feet, Firstpost reported. The picture was taken after the occupying army martyred five freedom fighters in an alleged encounter in the Reasi district of held Kashmir. Indian troops in their fresh acts of state terrorism martyred at least eight youth in Sopore, Kupwara and Reasi areas of the territory on 13^th September 2018. Kashmiri human rights activist Khurram Parvez tweeted the picture saying it depicts the Indian army's "human rights conduct".

Comment:

India has continued her brutal oppression against the Muslims of occupied Kashmir as a new regime took power in Pakistan, the Bajwa-Imran regime. Muslims of Pakistan and occupied Kashmir were expecting that the new regime will not follow the Normalization policy of previous "corrupt" rulers towards India as Imran Khan during his 2018 election campaign painted Nawaz Sharif as a traitor because of his friendship with Modi, the Prime Minister of India. But in his first speech after winning 2018 elections, Imran Khan said that if India moves and takes one step towards us, we will take two steps toward them. And then talking to the President of Azad Jammu and Kashmir Sardar Muhammad Masood Khan in Islamabad on 5^th September 2018, Prime Minister Imran Khan demanded that the world community play its due role in resolving the issue of Kashmir according to the aspirations of Kashmiris and the UN resolutions. This stance of the new regime is exactly the same as of the previous "corrupt" regimes in Pakistan. Instead of taking heed from history and taking matters in its own hands, Bajwa-Imran regime is still relying on UN and the so called International community which have not taken any steps to realize the commitment they made with Muslims of Pakistan and Kashmir. So India quickly realized that despite the change of face in Islamabad, there is no change in Pakistan's policy towards India especially with respect to Occupied Kashmir. This has encouraged India and we saw that India has increased oppression and brutality in occupied Kashmir.

After witnessing the level of brutality of Indian occupation forces in occupied Kashmir a sincere politician and a military commander cannot sit idle or just issue toothless statements to cool the anger of the Muslims of Pakistan rather he would have directed this anger to move the strongest army of the Muslim World and wage Jihad to liberate the land and Muslims of occupied Kashmir. He would have moved the only Muslim army equipped with nuclear weapons to humiliate the Indian army so that the hearts of Muslims of occupied Kashmir may be relieved from the pain and filled with joy. But when the Muslims of occupied Kashmir are being killed and their martyrs are being dragged on the streets and still the regime of "change" does not change the policy of Normalization towards India, then what will Muslims of occupied Kashmir think about Pakistan?

  As long as democracy persists in Pakistan, India will continue her oppression and aggression because in democracy rulers do not follow the commands of Allah swt rather the commands of their Western Colonial master, the US. Only the Khilafah (Caliphate) on the method of Prophethood will unleash the wrath of the Armed Forces of Pakistan against the Hindu occupation forces as the Khaleefah will only follow the commands of Allah swt. Allah (swt) said,

﴿وَمَا لَكُمْ لاَ تُقَاتِلُونَ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ ٱلرِّجَالِ وَٱلنِّسَآءِ وَٱلْوِلْدَانِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَآ أَخْرِجْنَا مِنْ هَـٰذِهِ ٱلْقَرْيَةِ ٱلظَّالِمِ أَهْلُهَا وَٱجْعَلْ لَّنَا مِن لَّدُنْكَ وَلِيّاً وَٱجْعَلْ لَّنَا مِن لَّدُنْكَ نَصِيراً﴾

“And why should ye not fight in the cause of Allah and of those who, being weak, are ill-treated (and oppressed)? — Men, women, and children, whose cry is: “Our Lord! Rescue us from this town, whose people are oppressors; and raise for us from thee one who will protect; and raise for us from thee one who will help!” [Quran 4:75].
