Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Shah Farman has said that abrogation of Article 370 of the Indian constitution on August 5, 2019 by the Modi government is another black chapter to the history of India’s atrocities in the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
The governor, in his message in connection with the Youm-e-Istehsal, said the illegal action of the Indian government of to carve out the held state into two union territories gave new strength to the Kashmiri people’s freedom struggle.
He said India had miserably failed to suppress the freedom struggle in IIOJK by her illegal act which was evident from the fact that despite strict curfew and atrocities by the Indian occupation forces the Kashmiris carried out widespread protests and demonstrations in the valley.
He said India’s attempt to settle the Hindus in Kashmir by scrapping the special status of IIOJK, jailing of the Kashmiri leadership, use of brutal force against the innocent Kashmiris and imposition of curfew for more than a year and denying right to self-determination to the Kashmiri people were against the resolutions of United Nations and tantamount to genocide of majority Muslim community. However, India would not succeed in her nefarious designs.
The governor said the Youm-e-Istehsal was being observed by Pakistan in protest against the year-long curfew in the IIOJK and illegal occupation of Kashmir by Indian forces.
