Srinagar
In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Jammu and Kashmir Muslim League has said that India is subjecting Hurriyat leaders and activists including party Chairman Masarrat Aalam Butt to the worst political vendetta for spearheading freedom struggle.
The JKML acting Chairman, Abdul Ahad Parra, in a statement in Srinagar said that the draconian Public Safety Act had been invoked 37 times against Masarrat Aalam Butt to prolong his detention. He appealed to UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres to take necessary steps for security and safety of Shabbir Ahmed Shah, Muhammad Yasin Malik, Masarrat Aalam Butt, Aasiya Andrabi, Altaf Ahmed Shah, Nayeem Ahmed Khan and other Kashmiri leaders detained in Indian jails.
Indian troops during the ongoing cordon and search operations in different villages and towns of Srinagar, Kupwara, Baramulla, Bandipore, Badgam, Ganderbal, Shopian, Kulgam and Pulwama districts terrorised and harassed inmates particularly women and children. Indian police arrested three innocent people in Ganderbal.
Meanwhile, IIOJK-based political leaders, civil society members, academics and traders during a survey conducted by Kashmir Media Service said that all Indian efforts had failed to subdue the Kashmiris’ passion for freedom despite New Delhi’s unrelenting tyranny in the territory. The survey said that though Indian atrocities against people of Kashmir have increased manifold, but the resistance against the illegal occupation has also further solidified. The Kashmiris’ struggle against oppressor India would go down in the annals of history as a golden chapter.

Indian police again placed senior APHC leader Agha Syed Hassan Al-Moosvi Al-Safvi under house arrest in Badgam.
The Peoples Alliance for Gupkar Declaration in a statement in Srinagar, today, said that the real objective of repealing the original land laws by Modi-led fascist Indian government in occupied Jammu and Kashmir was to effect demographic change and disempower the IIOJK people.
Various Sikh bodies including Sikh Intellectuals Circle J&K, International Sikh Federation and Council for Civil Liberties staged a protest in Jammu against the systematic and organized genocide of unarmed innocent Sikhs in November 1984 in India.
