In this regard, the social, economic and political aspects of the Kashmir issue are being highlighted in collaboration with various national organizations. Former Chairman, Department of History, Dr. Shahid Hassan Rizvi said that at present India is laying bloody claws of tyranny on Kashmir. All the rights of Kashmiris have been taken away and their own land has been restricted to them. In Kashmir, every tactic is being tried to turn the majority into a minority through regular planning of demographic change. Intellectuals in our universities should effectively raise the issue of Kashmir in the United Nations, the International Court of Justice and international human rights bodies.

Prof. Dr. Musawir Hussain Bukhari, Head, Department of Political Science, said that the Islamia University of Bahawalpur was effectively highlighting the Kashmir issue. In this regard, on the direction of Vice Chancellor Prof. Dr. Athar Mahboob, a Media Conclave was organized at the University to highlight the Kashmir issue on global social media. Last year, on International Human Rights Day, teachers and students of the Islamia University of Bahawalpur took part in a signature campaign to show Solidarity with Kashmiri brother under the Million Signature Campaign on the Government of Pakistan’s web portal.
