In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the All Parties Hurriyat Conference has condemned the Indian authorities for creating an atmosphere of terror in the Kashmir Valley and Muslim dominated areas of Jammu region particularly after the sad demise of veteran Hurriyat leader, Syed Ali Gilani.
The APHC spokesman in a statement issued in Srinagar said Indian troops and police personnel are subjecting the people of the occupied territory to humiliation and intimidation to suppress their re-solve for freedom.
He deplored that the people and the relatives of late Syed Ali Gilani are not being allowed to visit his grave and offer fateha there.
The spokesman also condemned vilification campaign launched by the Indian agencies, paid media and the members of extremist Hindu organization RSS to malign the Hurriyat leaders. He urged the world human rights organizations to send their teams to IIOJK to take stock of human rights violations being perpetrated by Indian troops in the territory.
