MUZAFFARABAD: The All Parties Hurriyat Conference Azad Jammu and Kashmir (APHC-AJK) chapter on Sunday expressed its serious concern over the rise in Indian state terrorism in the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
APHC-AJK General Secretary Sheikh Abdul Mateen, in a statement, strongly condemned the ongoing arrests, killings, desecration of women, and destruction of houses and other properties by Indian forces in the occupied territory, according to Kashmir Media Service.
He said the people of IIOJK are rendering unprecedented sacrifices for their birthright to self-determination, and they will continue their struggle till it reaches a logical conclusion.
Nefarious Indian Intentions Criticized
He also criticized the nefarious Indian intentions of converting the Muslim majority of the occupied valley into a minority.
Sheikh Abdul Mateen paid tributes to the Kashmiri martyrs and lauded the determination and courage of illegally detained Hurriyat leaders, activists, and youth languishing in various jails of India and the occupied valley.
He appealed to the United Nations (UN) to play its role in the immediate release of APHC Chairman Masarat Alam Butt and other Hurriyat leaders and activists.
