In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the Jammu and Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (DFP) has condemned continued incidents of Indian state terrorism and granting of voting rights to Indian citizens in the internationally recognised disputed territory.
The DFP spokesman advocate Arshad Iqbal in a statement issued in Srinagar, while voicing his party’s serious concern over the worsening human rights violations in IIOJK, said the continued Indian military violence and bloodshed poses a serious existential threat to the Kashmiris reeling under the India’s brutal suppression.
Terming killing and arresting of civilians as part of Indian government’s systematic genocide campaign, he appealed to the international human rights organizations to take stock of the situation and help stop the inhuman and violent brutalities committed by Indian forces in IIOJK.
“Innocent people are being harassed and humiliated during so-called cordon and search operations, whereas extra-judicial killings, enforced disappearances and killing of youth in fake encounters are being used by India as a war tactic to suppress the Kashmiris’ legitimate struggle for right to self-determination”, he said.
The spokesman also took a serious notice of granting voting rights to Indian citizens and termed it a conspiracy aimed at minimizing the role of Kashmiri Muslims in the decision-making process and making them subservient to a minority community.—KMS
