MUZAFFARABAD: A mentally challenged resident of Azad Jammu and Kashmir Tabarak Hussain, who recently had unintentionally crossed the Line of Control in Rajouri district of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, was martyred in custody by Indian army, yesterday, said a report released by the KMS on Sunday.
The report said he was shot at and arrested in injured condition by the
Indian troops after he unintentionally crossed the LoC in Naushera area of
Rajouri district in the month of August.
It said as part of its evil designs to defame Pakistan, New Delhi had
claimed that Tabarak Hussain was sent by Islamabad to carry out an attack on
Indian army post and being a mentally retarded person, Indian authorities
couldn’t present him before the world to malign Pakistan, so they killed him
in custody.
On the other side, the report said a 30-year-old mentally-challenged man was
repatriated by Pakistan after he inadvertently crossed the Line of Control
(LoC) in Poonch district.
Mohammad Rashid, a resident of Degwar-Terwan village in Poonch, was reported
missing by his family on August 30, it said.
The Pakistani army, the report said, handed him over to their Indian
counterparts at Chakan Da Bagh crossing point on the LoC in presence of
civil officials and police on Saturday who was later united with his family.
The officials said that it was the second time in the past few years that
the man crossed the LoC but was safely returned to his family.
It said India has a habit of resorting to malicious propaganda to defame
Pakistan and the Kashmiris’ freedom struggle but it will fail in its
nefarious designs against Pakistan and the Kashmir freedom movement.
The report maintained that Pakistanis and the Kashmiris are determined to
foil India’s wicked tactics against them and Pakistan will continue exposing
the Modi regime and will not let the world be misled by Indian propaganda.
It also urged the United Nations to intervene and stop genocide and
custodial killings in IIOJK.
