The All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) on Sunday urged the world community to increase its efforts for the settlement of the lingering Kashmir dispute by the United Nations (UN) resolutions.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the APHC spokesman Abdul Rashid Minhas in a statement in Srinagar said the Bharatiya Janata Party and its highly corrupt Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha are living in fools’ paradise if they think that they can change the dynamics of the Kashmir dispute and force the Kashmiris to desist from their legitimate struggle for freedom by continued state terrorism in IIOJK.
The statement said Indian repression has turned IIOJK into a living hell for its residents as the brutalities against the innocent and unarmed Kashmiris have increased manifold since Article 370 and 35 A revocation in August 2019.
The APHC asked India to read the writing on the wall and pave the way for a peaceful settlement of the Kashmir dispute. He said India had enforced black laws like the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) Public Safety Act (PSA) and Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) in the occupied territory to kill and arrest innocent and unarmed Kashmiris.
The youth are subjected to the worst forms of torture in the investigation centers where many are martyred and are declared as militants and buried in anonymous graves, he said.
The APHC also expressed serious concern over the deteriorating health of illegally detained Kashmiri leader Yasin Malik. Malik is on an indefinite hunger strike in Tihar Jail.
He said India had failed to suppress the Kashmiris’ freedom sentiment despite using all cheap tactics. He said the people of Pakistan stand by their Kashmiri brethren and will continue to support their struggle for freedom morally, diplomatically, and politically.
