ISLAMABAD: Illegally detained chairman of All Parties Hurriyat Conference, Masarrat Aalam Butt Sunday appealed to the world’s human rights organizations to raise their voice against Indian atrocities in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
The world’s criminal silence has encouraged India to continue repression in IlOJK, he said in a report from Tihar Jail in New Delhi, Kashmir Media Service reported.
Masarrat Aalam said that the Indian government led by Narendra Modi is using its military might to suppress the struggle of Kashmiris for the right to self-determination, but it will never succeed in its nefarious plans.
He pointed out that India waged a war against unarmed people in occupied Jammu and Kashmir and Indian atrocities witnessed a rise after August 5, 2019.
The APHC chairman said that Kashmiris had faced Indian brutalities for the past seventy-six years only because they demanded their right to self-determination, adding that Indian repression could not force the Kashmiri people to give up their just demand.
Meanwhile, APHC leaders including Saleem Zargar, Abdul Samad Inqilabi, Maulana Musaib Nadvi, Israr Ahmad and Malik Noor Muhamamd Fayaz said in their statements in Srinagar that India was using terrorism as a state policy to intimidate Kashmiris into submission.
They said Indian soldiers are committing serious human rights violations in Occupied Kashmir and 8 Kashmiris fell to Indian bullets in the last month of August.
APHC officials said atrocities committed by Indian soldiers, paramilitary and police personnel during cordon and search operations have become routine in the occupied territory. They claimed that despite Indian state terrorism, the Kashmiri people remain resolved to continue their battle for independence.
