SRINAGAR: The BJP-led Indian government has announced the renaming of 45 educational institutions, roads and a playground in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), to wipe out the cultural and religious identity of the people of Kashmir.
Hundreds of educational institutions, roads, and major places have already been renamed recently. The occupation regime has ordered the authorities concerned to hold events to mark the renaming.
Analysts and political experts have seen the move as part of a larger conspiracy to erase the Muslim identity in the occupied region.
Meanwhile, Indian troops continued their search operation and violent cordon in the Khaned area of Basantgarh in Udhampur district for the second consecutive day on Wednesday.
The High Court of the occupied territory has slammed the Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha-led regime, saying that justice delivery has become a joke in the occupied territory.
The court’s remarks came after Chief Secretary Atul Dullo and other top officers did not appear for court proceedings. Meanwhile, protests broke out in the Jammu region demanding the reversal of amendments and restoration of statehood snatched from the Kashmiris on August 5, 2019.
Opposition parties after an all-party meeting in Jammu announced to hold a joint sit-in demonstration in Kathua, on Thursday to press for their demands.
