SRINAGAR: Locals said that things have become worse after the unilateral action of Modi’s government to abrogate the special status of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) on August 5, 2019, Western media reported Saturday.
The locals told DW that India’s illegal move which is widely condemned is an attempt to make a demographic change in the disputed region.
A senior politician blasted New Delhi for curbing the rights of Kashmiri people, adding that a case has been lodged in Supreme Court against the Indian government’s attempt to change the status of IIOJK.
Muhammad Yusuf Tarigami said that uncertainty and chaos are prevailing in the disputed territory and there is no sign of relief for the people of Kashmir.
Radha Kuma, an Indian political analyst while talking to German media pointed out that the situation in IIOJK is much worse.
After the Indian illegal move, thousands of young educated Kashmiri people have lost their jobs.
Rayees Ahmad, a resident of Srinagar said despite being a science graduate he is forced to drive an auto-rickshaw. He added the young Kashmiri people have lost their respect and dignity.
