SRINAGAR: The All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) has said that the Narendra Modi-led Indian regime is peddling blatant lies of peace and normalcy to mislead the world about the ground situation in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
APHC leaders including Syed Bashir Andrabi, Muhammad Shafi Lone, Muhammad Yousuf Naqash, Javaid Ahmed Mir, Khawaja Firdous, Farida Bahenji, Muhammad Aaqib, Noor Muhammad Fayyaz, and Umar Mughal in their statements issued in Srinagar rejected the claims of Indian political and military leaders about improving security scenario in the valley, terming them cruel jokes, according to Kahmir Media Service.
They said that the Indian claims of return of normalcy in the occupied valley are exposed by everyday killings, raids, violent cordon and search operations, and arbitrary arrests.
The APHC leaders said that the Modi regime is trying to distort truth and twist facts to promote its false narrative on Kashmir.
They further said that illegal detentions and slapping of draconian laws even on human rights workers debunk the Modi regime’s claims.
They said, peace will continue to elude IIOJK till Kashmiris are given their inalienable right to self-determination.
Leaders deplore
The leaders deplored that India has turned the region into the world’s most militarized zone and snatched every right of Kashmiris including the right to life.
They said that Narendra Modi must allow UN observers, international human rights bodies to visit IIOJK to assess the ground situation. Kashmiri people must be provide with an opportunity to decide their future by themselves, they said, adding that peace and stability will remain a distant dream in South Asia without the resolution of the Kashmir issue.
