In Indian Illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir Indian state terrorism spanning over past thirty-four years has forced over 40,000 people to abandon their homes and live a refugee life away from their motherland.
A report released by Kashmir Media Service on the World Refugee Day, today, said hundreds of thousands of Muslims in Jammu alone were expelled by Dogra Army and Hindu fanatics in 1947.
Similarly, over 3.5 million people took refuge in Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan and in the United Kingdom and other parts of the world.
Meanwhile, the report maintained that Jammu and Kashmir’s Muslim majority has been facing an existential threat due to the forced expulsion.
In a latest assault on social media activists, New Delhi-controlled State Investigation Agency, today, conducted raids at many locations in Srinagar, Islamabad, Pulwama and Kupwara districts of the Kashmir valley.
APHC leaders and parties including Davinder Singh Bhel, Narender Singh Khalsa, Shahid Saleem, Muhammad Aqib, Jammu Kashmir Pirpanchal Freedom Movement and Jammu Kashmir Awami Party in their statements in Jammu urged India to take sincere steps for resolution of Jammu and Kashmir dispute through talks.
Meanwhile, Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, today, completed five years under New Delhi’s direct rule, without a political government being elected through elections.
The critics of the Modi government say that absence of any democratic set-up is a negation of India’s so-called narrative, which it has been falsely peddling that elections are substitute for the UN-granted referendum in the territory.—KMS
