Jammu
In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, APHC leader and Chairman of Jammu and Kashmir Social Peace Forum, Advocate Devinder Singh Behl, has said that Kashmir is an internationally recognized dispute, which needs to be resolved in accordance with the relevant resolutions of the United Nations.
Devinder Singh Behl in a statement issued in Jammu strongly condemned the issuance of domicile certificates to non-Kashmiris on fast-track basis saying that India under a well-thought-out plan was engaged in changing the demography in Jammu and Kashmir.
The APHC leader urged the international community to prevent India from using nefarious tactics to upset the existing demographic composition in the territory. He deplored that Indian forces were wreaking havoc on unarmed Kashmiris while a large number of Hurriyat leaders and activists languishing in jails are under grave threat due to the widespread corona pandemic in India.
Devinder Singh called upon the international community and human rights organizations to put pressure on India to release the detainees saying that India was deliberately endangering their lives by prolonging their detention.
The APHC leader said the peace in South Asia is in peril due to the lingering Kashmir dispute whose solution could not be found due to intransigence of India over the past seven decades.—KMS
