Pakistanis & Kashmiris to mark August 5 as ‘Exploitation Day’: APHC leader

Srinagar: All Parties Hurriyat Conference has asked people of Pakistan and Kashmiris to observe August 5 as Exploitation Day to raise their voice against illegal revocation of special status of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir on this day in 2019.

The incarcerated APHC Vice Chairman, Ghulam Ahmad Gulzar said that 5th August is one of the most tragic, painful and darkest days of modern Kashmir history and the Kashmiris will always observe it as ‘Exploitation Day’, day of mourning and a black day.

It was on 5th August 2019, when RSS-backed fascist government led by PM Modi usurped political, social, religious and all other basic rights of Kashmiris, turned IIOJK into a big open-air prison. 5th August is an attack on Kashmir’s unique identity, culture, demography and fundamental rights by Hindutva forces.

APHC leader deplored that RSS-backed Modi government was hell-bent on turning Jammu and Kashmir into a graveyard and wasteland for imposition of its devil Hindutva ideology. Hindutva forces have started the settler-colonial project by bringing administrative changes in the disputed region which started with the introduction of new domicile law.

APHC General Secretary Molvi Bashir Ahmad Irfani said that slavery is a curse and Kashmiris will prefer martyrdom over Hindutva slavery. He maintained Kashmir is an internationally recognized disputed territory and scrapping its special status is not only a violation of the United Nations resolutions on Kashmir but also a blatant violation of international law. Real motive behind abrogation of Articles 370 and 35-A was to change the demography of the territory.

The abolition of special status was followed by coercive administrative steps which included grant of domiciles to thousands of Indian Hindus, amendment in land laws and setting up of soldiers’ colonies in the territory. These all steps are aimed at settling Hindus in Kashmir and turn Muslims into a minority. Web Desk
