ISLAMABAD: The All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) on Thursday deplored that Indian forces and police have intensified the atrocities against the defenseless people of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir as the so-called Republic Day of India (January 26) is approaching.
The APHC said in a statement that the checking of vehicles, frisking of commuters and pedestrians and house raids by Indian army, paramilitary and police personnel have witnessed an alarming uptick as India’s Republic Day is drawing nearer.
Indian forces’ so-called cordon and search operations
It said that the Indian forces’ personnel were targeting not only the youth but also the families during house raids in the so-called cordon and search operations.
The APHC said that the Narendra Modi-led Indian regime was using brutal tactics to further its nefarious Hindutva agenda in the valley and weaken the spirit of Kashmiris for their righteous demand of right to self-determination.
The statement urged the global community to play its role in ending the ongoing Indian atrocities on the unarmed Kashmiri people and to resolve the Kashmir issue in accordance with their aspirations and the UN resolutions.
