In Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), the All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) leadership has said fascist Modi regime has deepened the enslavement of Kashmiri people through imposition of brutal laws and regulations.  

APHC leaders Bilal Ahmed Siddiqui, Ghulam Muhammad Khan Sopori, Zamrooda Habib, Yasmeen Raja, Dr Musaib and Maulana Sajid Nadvi in their separate statements in Srinagar said the new anti-Kashmir policies devised by the Hindutva regime are adversely impacting the Kashmiris’ basic political, legal and social rights.

They appealed the United Nations to put pressure on India to stop harassing the Kashmiri people and seizing their properties.

The leaders demanded the release of all political prisoners including APHC Chairman Masarrat Aalam Butt, Shabbir Ahmad Shah, Muhammad Yasin Malik and Aasiya Andrabi from Indian jails.

On the other hand, National Conference chief Farooq Abdullah in a media interview in Srinagar has severely criticized the Modi-led BJP regime for using Kashmiri Pandits’ card to project a false sense of normalcy in the territory.

He said the Indian government’s tall claims of normalcy have fallen flat in view of the grim situation on ground.

Meanwhile, in an attempt to gain control of all religious places in IIOJK, the Indian government through the newly-constituted Waqf Board, headed by a Bharatiya Janata Party leader, has ordered the disbanding of all local committees at Khanqahs and masajid warning that any decision taken by the committees will be punishable.
