Dr. Mirza was followed by MNA Dr. Aisha Ghous Pasha, who strongly objected to the continued siege of Kampala (Pakistan Point News / Online - 29th September, 2019) ashmir by the Indian occupying forces, calling the Valley of Kampala (Pakistan Point News / Online - 29th September, 2019) ashmir "world's largest open-air prison.While drawing the attention of the General Assembly, Dr. Fehmida Mirza stated that the legislature of the Indian Occupied Kampala (Pakistan Point News / Online - 29th September, 2019) ashmir, which was a branch of the CPA, had been held in abeyance by the Association on account of its dismissal by the Occupied State's Governor.
However, the CPA had neither investigated nor looked into the reasons under which even the limited and controlled representation had been snatched from the beleaguered people of Kampala (Pakistan Point News / Online - 29th September, 2019) ashmir by occupying forces."The people of Indian occupied Kampala (Pakistan Point News / Online - 29th September, 2019) ashmir are under siege since August 5.

Mirza, informing the delegates that the state had remained under continued curfew for over 54 days now.Upon undue interruption by the Indian delegation, Dr. Mirza forcefully voiced her outrage for the rights of Kampala (Pakistan Point News / Online - 29th September, 2019) ashmiris.

"CPA stands for defending democratic rights and freedoms of people of its member branches. If IOKampala (Pakistan Point News / Online - 29th September, 2019) is a legitimate Branch of CPA, any act of silence or shying away from the continued breach of human rights in Kampala (Pakistan Point News / Online - 29th September, 2019) ashmir will cast a dark shadow on this House," said Dr.
