The All Parties Hurriyat Conference has said that India has snatched every right including the right to speech and right to hold political activities in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the APHC leadership in a statement issued in Srinagar said the Modi-led Indian regime is not even allow-ing Kashmiris to assemble and speak their mind and has gagged the media while journalists are harassed without any reason.
The leadership said that the BJP led Indian government and Hindu extremist organizations like Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, VHP and Banjrang Dal are thrusting their Hindutva agendas and narratives on the people of the internationally recognized disputed territory of Jammu and Kashmir. The statement pointed out that Modi regime was using its military, police and probe agencies like the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and State Investigation Agency (SIA) to force the Kashmiri people to accept Hindutva dictates.
While urging the world to come forward to save the Kashmiris from Hindutva fascism being thrust on them by the BJP regime, the APHC leadership pointed out that Modi must remember that bullets & guns had never been able to suppress people’s aspirations. The leadership added that the Kashmiris’ spirit for freedom cannot be subdued by resorting to killings, arrests & torture. The APHC stressed that the people of the occupied territory were determined to carry on their struggle against Indian occupation against all odds and that they were ready to offer every sacrifice to secure their right to self-determination. The APHC leadership urged the world to come forward to save the Kashmiri from Hindutva fascism being thrust on them by the Modi regime.
