Zain Hassan, IX Iris, shared his solidarity with Kashmir through insightful words.
Kashmiris should also have a right to live
By Zain Hassan
Freedom of speech, the freedom to vote, and the right to live, are not given to these innocent Kashmiris, who are being tortured and suppressed just due to some pathetic politicians and so-called leaders that consider themselves superior.
Kashmiris, too, should have rights; they should be free to speak, object and vote, just like the west, just like any other country and area in the world.
Hundreds of Kashmiris are being tortured and killed each day. Their homes have been destroyed and put under curfew for over three years now by the Indian forces that have illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
The Kashmir issue has been raised on global forums, yet no one is ready to give justice to these civilians and oppose a strong superpower, India.
Today, we celebrate Kashmir solidarity day to honour those who have lost their lives due to this issue, but is anyone ready to give them justice, freedom and the right to live?
