APHC condemns Modi’s IIOJK visit, terms it cruel joke on Kashmiris
Srinagar: The All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) has strongly condemned Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), calling it a cruel joke with the struggling Kashmiri people.
According to Kashmir Media Service, APHC spokesman Advocate Abdul Rashid Minhas in a statement in Srinagar called the visit a cheap gimmick aimed at deceiving the international community about the dire situation in the territory.
The APHC rejected Modi’s announcements of new roads and development projects as attempts to hoodwink the Kashmiri people, reiterating that their primary demand is the resolution of the Kashmir dispute in accordance with United Nations resolutions.
The APHC spokesman highlighted the ongoing human rights abuses in the territory, including fake encounters, extrajudicial killings, torture, arrests and humiliation by Indian troops.
He emphasized that the unresolved Kashmir dispute poses a significant threat to peace and stability in South Asia.
The APHC affirmed that India’s continued oppression will only strengthen the Kashmiri people’s resolve to fight for their freedom, predicting that Kashmiris will ultimately emerge victorious and India’s defeat is inevitable.
