Armed resistance in IIOJK refutes Modi regime’s claim of peace, says Jammu newspaper
Jammu: Contrary to claims of peace, armed resistance remains a significant challenge in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, with 263 violence of incidents reported in the Kashmir Valley since 2021, resulting in the deaths of 68 Indian troops, reported Jammu-based English daily Kashmir Times.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the newspaper added that Jammu region has also seen an uptick in violence, with 49 soldiers killed during the period. The newspaper questioned the Modi government’s claims of restoring peace amid these killings. The expansion of armed resistance to Jammu region poses a new challenge for the Indian armed forces, the report said.
Political parties attribute the recent attacks to the failure of the BJP-led Indian government and its poor governance in the territory. The Modi regime’s assertion that the revocation of Articles 370 and 35A would bring peace to the territory has been contradicted by the recent escalation in attacks and gunfights, the newspaper argued.
