India wants to raze 500 mosques in IHK, says Mushaal

LAHORE : Mushaal Hussein Mullick, Chairperson of Peace and Culture Organisation and wife of jailed Kashmiri Hurriyat leader Muhammad Yasin Malik, has said India is conspiring to demolish 500 mosques in the occupied Kashmir.

“These mosques have already been demarcated and there are plans to construct temples on the land of the mosques for the Hindus settlements in Jammu Kashmir,” said Mushaal Mullick while addressing a seminar at GCU here on Tuesday.

The seminar was organised by the GCU’s Kashmir Society (GCU-KS) to commemorate the Kashmir Martyrs' Day and pay tribute to the martyrs of July 13, 1931, and all other Kashmiri martyrs.

GCU Vice Chancellor Prof Dr Asghar Zaidi chaired the seminar which was also addressed by Muhammad Zulqarnain, a career diplomat and former first secretary of Pakistan Mission to United Nations, and Rehana Hussein Mullick, the mother of Mushaal Mullick.

Speaking on the occasion, Prof Zaidi said GCU was going to host the country’s biggest Students’ Societies’ Summit next month and the Kashmir issue would be the focus of its deliberations. He laid stress on fighting the Kashmir issue with lawyers at the international forums. The VC announced the opening of Allama Iqbal Law School at GCU.

Zulqarnain Chheena said Jammu & Kashmir is not a part of India, it never was and it never will be. He said India has no legitimate claim for the occupied valley and is just a military occupier.

Later, Mushaal Hussein Mullick said Narendra Modi was Hitler of this century, and he had unleashed a new wave of barbarism and terrorism to silence the voices of freedom fighters.

She said that Indian was changing the demography of the occupied territory illegally by bringing Hindu settlers to the occupied territory.
