ISLAMABAD: Winter kits were given to Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) refugees living in Kashmiri Refugees Camp Muzaffarabad by Special Assistant to Prime Minister for Human Rights and Women Empowerment Mushaal Hussein Mullick. On her two-day visit to AJK, she is joined by DG Legal Aid and Justice Authority Dr. Raheem Awan and Focal Person to SAPM Ms. Sabien Hussein Mullick. An project headed by SAPM aims to give vital help to refugees in AJK who are struggling with the severe weather. Warm clothes, blankets, thermal socks, gloves, and other supplies are included in the winter kits to help the camp’s vulnerable families survive the harsh winter weather.
The Prime Minister’s Special Assistant personally interacted and spoke with the refugees. She asserted that it was our shared duty to lend a helping hand to those who most needed it when faced with hardship. She stated that the winter kits were designed to bring some comfort and respite to the brave individuals and families forced to live away from their homeland due Indian atrocities in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
The Special Assistant to the Prime Minister pledged unflinching support and gave the refugees in Azad Jammu and Kashmir the assurance that they would not be abandoned in their suffering. She reaffirmed the Government of Pakistan resolve to alleviate the anguish of their forced removal from homes in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK). In addition to allocating all available public monies for AJK, she said, the government was also directing private funding in the direction of the area to guarantee its development.
Mushaal gave the refugees assurance that the relief that was just distributed was a part of a continuous effort rather than a one-time event. She declared that the refugees will get a Ramadan package designed to offer ongoing assistance during the fasting month. She also reaffirmed her unwavering commitment to seeing to it that children in the camps for refugees have access to adequate educational facilities.
Mushaal declared her hope for the day when refugees will be allowed to return home and be with their loved ones after Kashmir was freed from Indian rule. She claimed that while India was busy giving non-Kashmiri residents homes to change the demographics of IIOJK, the region’s original proprietors were suffering in camps for refugees. To enable families who have been displaced by the war to return to their homes, reunite with their loved ones, and start over in a peaceful and just environment, she asked the UN to take prompt action to support the conduct of a referendum in conformity with its resolutions.
Mushaal also went to Central Jail Muzaffarabad, where she gave the superintendent orders to make sure all the essential preparations were made for the convicts’ comfort. She emphasized that jails were places of correction designed to help ex-offenders turn into productive members of society. She went on to emphasize that those who are convicted or who are awaiting trial still have a right to basic human rights, and the state has an obligation to uphold these rights at all costs. She gave the prisoners winter kits so they might have some comfort during the chilly months.
