In the last week, I’ve spent time speaking with people living and working in #Kashmir - journalists, human rights lawyers and students.
I wanted to hear directly from girls living in Kashmir right now. It took a lot of work from a lot of people to get their stories because of the communications blackout. Kashmiris are cut off from the world and unable to make their voices heard. #LetKashmirSpeak
Here is what three girls told me, in their own words: “The best way to describe the situation in Kashmir right now is absolute silence. We have no way of finding out what’s happening to us. All we could hear is the steps of troops outside our windows. It was really scary.”
“I feel purposeless and depressed because I can’t go to school. I missed my exams on August 12 and I feel my future is insecure now. I want to be a writer and grow to be an independent, successful Kashmiri woman. But it seems to be getting more difficult as this continues.”
“People speaking out for us adds to our hope. I am longing for the day when Kashmir will be free of the misery we’ve been going through for decades.”
I am deeply concerned about reports of 4,000 people, including children, arbitrarily arrested & jailed, about students who haven’t been able to attend school for more than 40 days, about girls who are afraid to leave their homes.
I am asking leaders, at #UNGA and beyond, to work towards peace in Kashmir, listen to Kashmiri voices and help children go safely back to school.
Are you a Messenger of Peace or a rumour monger working at the behest of ISI ? For the last 30 years Kashmir has been in turmoil with thousands killed. Did you ever speak against Pak for being a terror sponsor? Why r u worried if Kashmir is heading towards peace and prosperity?
I think Malala is supporting #Pakistan Govt & ISI for other Benifits. She wil never utter a single word against #Pak Sponsored #Terrorists Groups who r butchering innocent Indian Citizens & #IndianArmy Jawans at #Kashmir. Shame Shame Shame #TerroristNationPakistan @hindustanse
Thank you for speaking up for us. God bless you.
इसमे थैंक्यू की क्या बात है जी,, एक जिहादिन दूसरी जिहादिन के काम आती ही है। वैसे j&k मे तो सब ठीक है तुम अपनी बंसी बजाते रहो
