India attaches civilian property in IIOJK to silence voices for self-determination right
Srinagar: In an attempt to target voices for right to self-determination in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Indian forces attached the immovable property of a Kashmiri civilian in Budgam under the draconian Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).
According to Kashmir Media Service, the attached property belongs to Ghulam Nabi Najar, son of Late Abdul Jabbar, resident of Gamgulla Khansahib. The land, covering 01 Kanal and 16 Marlas has been seized despite all legal and human rights concerns.
Officials said the move was executed under Section 85 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), reflecting a systematic campaign by Indian authorities to target Kashmiris for demanding their fundamental right to self-determination. Locals said such actions are part of a larger pattern where Indian forces routinely use arbitrary laws to intimidate and punish civilians, confiscate property, and suppress dissent in occupied Kashmir.
Locals condemned the attachment as yet another attempt to strangle the economic and social lifelines of ordinary Kashmiris while projecting India’s occupation as “law enforcement.” They warned that such repressive measures deepen the sense of fear and injustice in the territory and highlight India’s continued disregard for Kashmiri rights.
