Srinagar: All Parties Hurriyat Conferene (APHC) leader and the Chairman of Jammu and Kashmir Democratic Political Movement (DPM), Khawaja Firdous, has said that India is using nefarious tactics to suppress the Kashmiris’ freedom movement and to further its nefarious designs in the territory.
In a statement Khawaja Firdous ar said that the purpose of Indian atrocities was to intimidate the Kashmiri people and force them to give up their just cause.
He said the tremendous sacrifices made by the Kashmiris for the last over seven decades for their right to self-determination will not be allowed to go waste.
The APHC leader said India is using brutal tactics in the occupied territory to stifle the voice of Kashmiris and its nefarious intention behind the August 05, 2019 move stand exposed before the international community.
“Fascist Narendra Modi has not only turned occupied Kashmir into one of the largest prisons in the world but also banned newspapers, radio, TV channels and social media so that the voice of Kashmiris could not reach the world,” he said.
He said BJP led Modi govt must be punished for its crimes against humanity in IIOJK. RSS-inspired BJP leadership wants to obliterate Muslims from IIOJK.
RSS-backed Modi regime is furthering its Hindutva ideology to convert Muslim majority in Kashmir into a minority and covert territory into a Hindu state.
Arbitrary detentions, extrajudicial killings and enforced disappearances are part of what appears to be an ongoing pattern of serious violations of human rights by Indian forces in IIOJK.
Properties of pro-freedom leaders being confiscated to pressurize the leadership.India is granting domiciles to non-residents in IIOJK. India is also re-arranging constituencies in IIOJK to affect Muslim majority.
The DPM Chairman said August 5 move, which was in violation of international law, was totally rejected by the Kashmiri people.
India took this step because it knows that New Delhi has not been able to win the hearts of Kashmiris for he last seven decades, so now it wants to perpetuate its illegal hold on the territory by changing its demography and turning the Kashmiri Muslims into a minority, he added.
The Indian government is deliberately trying to kill the Kashmiri prisoners in jails, as is evident from the custodial death of senior APHC leader Muhammad Ashraf Sehrai, he added.
He appealed to the international community to put pressure on India to release all Kashmiri detainees. Web Desk
