ISLAMABAD:Pakistan on Thursday demanded India to end dispossessing the political leaders and human rights defenders of their rightful properties in Indian Illegal Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK). According to Foreign Office Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch, India’s National Investigation Agency and the State Investigation Agency have moved aggressively to seize immovable properties of several Kashmiri activists.

She said we are concerned about the recurring acts of confiscation of properties of Kashmiri activists and human rights defenders in the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir. The Spokesperson said we condemn India’s recent move to confiscate the property of All Parties Hurriyat Conference Spokesperson and Tehreek-e-Hurriyat leader, Ayaz Akbar, in Srinagar, who is behind the bars since 2017 on fictitious charges.

She said Kashmiris are the rightful heirs to their own land. It is unfortunate that non-Kashmiris are being encouraged to buy land and property in the disputed territory while the properties of Kashmiris are being confiscated and destroyed.
