New Delhi. Two Kashmiri women from Kashmir, participating in the 52nd session of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Union Home Minister for the rapid development of the Kashmir Valley after the removal of Article 370 and Article 35 (A) from Jammu and Kashmir. Amit Shah is praised. In an exclusive interview with ANI, Taslima Akhtar said, “I am thankful and grateful to PM Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, who have brought development in Kashmir after abrogation of Article 370 in the last 2-3 years. This had never happened before. I think because of this unemployment will also go away. I salute the Government of India that they gave him a chance to speak.
When asked about Pakistan’s statement on Kashmir in the United Nations, Taslima Akhtar remarked that there is financial crisis in Pakistan and for this they keep on spreading false propaganda about Kashmir to other countries. She also said that she is from Kashmir and knows the situation at the ground level. Akhtar said, “Pakistan is disturbing peace in Kashmir.” Taslima works for women’s empowerment and rehabilitation of terror victims, while Bushra Majajbeen has survived a terror attack.
Bushra Mahjabeen in an interview with ANI recalled the incident when she lost her one hand due to terrorist attack. In an exclusive interview with ANI, Mahjabeen said, “I have already told about myself and I also shared my story from 2003, when I was very young. That year, some terrorists suddenly entered our house and targeted my sister. I caught one of them.”
He said terrorist’s rifles to save my sister, but there was another member of that terrorist group who was sitting right behind me, he shot me and I lost my one hand. It is very difficult to operate with one hand. My family has also suffered a lot. At the 52nd session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, the activist from Jammu and Kashmir said, “More families are expected to come forward to share their experiences as stability and prosperity return to Kashmir.”
Sharing details of normalcy in the Union Territory, the activist said, “Violence in Kashmir is on the decline and life is returning to normalcy, a change is visible in the attitude of common Kashmiris.” Sharing her family’s “difficult times” before things changed for the better in the UT, she said, “For the first time, many Kashmiri families have shared their inability to speak out about the atrocities committed by terrorist organizations. In 2003, my sister was brutally killed by terrorists and I was shot several times.
