SRINAGAR: Illegally jailed All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) Chairman Masarrat Aalam Butt has expressed deep concern over the political injustice and gross human rights violations by Indian troops in occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
According to a Kashmir Media Service report, Masarrat Aalam Butt in a message from New Delhi’s infamous Tihar jail said the Modi regime has unleashed a reign of terror against the Kashmiris who are continuously besieged by over one million personnel of Indian army, paramilitary forces and agencies.
He deplored that all draconian laws had been put into force and every shield was being provided to the men in uniform to stifle political dissent. Indian troops are blatantly violating every human rights principle in the occupied territory, he added.
Masarrat Aalam Butt said the Indian troops are harassing the Kashmiris through cordon and search operations and house raids besides summoning them to police stations without any reason. He said that India had turned IIOJK into the world’s largest militarized zone while arbitrary arrests and torture had become a norm in the territory.
Denouncing the nefarious designs of Hinduva Indian government to change the demography of the occupied territory, the illegally detained APHC Chairman said now even the non-Muslim communities, living in Jammu and Ladakh regions, have realized that the influx of non-state subjects, who have been provided domicile certificates, has an adverse effect on employment and business activities of the local population in addition to social and cultural aggression on the occupied territory.
He lauded the marvelous role played by the peace and freedom-loving Kashmiri people to foil the nefarious designs of Hindutva regime and expressed satisfaction over the high morale and patience of the brave people of Kashmir and their stand against political injustice and anti-Kashmir policies of the Hindutva BJP/RSS regime with a renewed zeal and zest.
He urged the world rights bodies to take notice of the worsening human rights situation in IIOJK and hold the Indian government accountable for the same.
Masarrat Aalam Butt also urged the United Nations Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, to resolve the Kashmir dispute in accordance with the World Body’s resolutions which has been pending since 1948.
