SRINAGAR: The All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) has said that the Jammu massacre of 1947 is one of the largest carnages and the worst tragedy in human history, according to media reports.
According to media reports, APHC spokesperson Abdul Rashid Minhas, in a statement in Srinagar while paying rich tributes to the Jammu martyrs of 1947, stated that the Jammu carnage was one of the biggest massacres and the worst tragedy in the entire human history.
Hundreds of thousands of Muslims in Kashmir were massacred by the forces of Dogra Maharaja Hari Singh, the Indian Army, and Hindutva communal forces, including the Jansang and RSS, in various parts of the Jammu region while they were migrating to Pakistan during the first week of November 1947.
The spokesperson urged the people to observe November 6 as Martyrs’ Day and renew the promise that the mission of the Kashmiri martyrs would be accomplished at all costs.
The APHC said that the RSS-backed Hindutva BJP government of India took the decision to abrogate the special status of Occupied Kashmir in August 2019 on communal lines, and since then, the people of Kashmir have faced gradual disempowerment.
The statement said that Modi, Shah, and the RSS chief are following the British policy of divide-and-rule politics to create a wedge between Muslims, Hindus, Christians, Sikhs, and others. He added that the people of the occupied territory have rejected India’s illegal decision and stand in solidarity with the people of Occupied Kashmir.
The APHC leader has appealed to the Kashmiris to commemorate the historic Jammu Martyrs’ Day on both sides of the Line of Control (LoC) and in the rest of the world to pay rich tributes to the martyrs of the freedom movement. He urged the public to organize anti-India protest demonstrations, symposiums and seminars on that day.
He added that the non-Kashmiri RSS-BJP Hindutva authorities in the Occupied territory are intent on turning Kashmir into a graveyard, for which over one million trigger-happy forces have been deployed. Killing, arson, torture, arrests, and atrocities have become the order of the day, he said.
He said that lakhs of non-state Hindu fanatics have been granted domicile and are being settled in the occupied Kashmir. These zealots are being trained, armed and funded by the Indian Army to carry out genocide against Muslims in Occupied Kashmir, he lamented.
The APHC spokesperson expressed solidarity with those wounded in a grenade explosion in Srinagar on Sunday. He also questioned how such grenade explosions could occur in public and busy markets when there is a heavy deployment of Indian forces everywhere. He said that such incidents are the handiwork of Indian troops and their agencies to instill fear, defame the Kashmir freedom struggle, and target peace-loving youth in Occupied Kashmir.
APHC leader also urged the people to remain vigilant and unite in order to foil the Hindutva conspiracy, pledging that Kashmiris would never give up and will fight until the last drop of their blood. He appealed to the world to come forward and save humanity in Occupied Kashmir.
APHC expressed deep grief and regret over the death of Mirwaiz Molvi Muhammad Ahmad Shah and prayed to Allah Almighty to rest the departed soul in eternal peace and grant courage to the bereaved family to bear this irreparable loss.
