Srinagar: Indian government has faced humiliation as the Amnesty International demanded to immediately stop its anti-encroachment drive in Indian Administered Kashmir.
Amnesty International said, “The ongoing demolitions appear to be an extension of the brutal human rights violations the region of Jammu and Kashmir, the only Muslim majority region of India, has historically witnessed. Stop demolitions in Kashmir
These demolitions could amount to forced evictions which constitute a gross violations of human rights.” Aakar Patel, Chair of board for Amnesty International India said that the ongoing demolitions appear to be an extension of the brutal HRVs in the Muslim majority region in Indian Administered Kashmir. Stop demolitions in Kashmir
He also said that no one should be made homeless or vulnerable to other human rights violations because of evictions. He said that the India authorities must immediately halt the demolition drive and ensure that safeguards against forced evictions as outlined in international human rights standards.
It is pertinent to mention here that Modi is swiftly acting to grab Kashmiris’ land to turn whole J&K into its colony. This is a latest addition to the weapons being used by BJP government, likely they have the UAPA, PSA, NIA, ED and other law agencies to persecute and uproot the people of Jammu and Kashmir from their homes.
Evicting people from the lands which have been under their possession for generations is yet another step of colonizing Kashmir. Indian Administered Kashmir admin’s new order on land encroachment is part of Modi’s sinister act to snatch Kashmiri’s land. Modi is converting Indian Administered Kashmir into a settler colony as Israel is doing in occupied Palestine.
Colonization of Indian Administered Kashmir has since long been a dream of RSS and BJP. India removed the barrier for non-locals to settle in Indian Administered Kashmir by revoking Art 370. Modi’s ultimate aim is to efface Muslim identity, establish Hindu civilization in Jammu and Kashmir.
People of Kashmir have unanimously rejected Indian narrative of normalcy, prosperity and improved law and order being propagated through Godi Media after August 2019.
