India’s intransigence on Kashmir dispute has endangered peace: APHC
Srinagar: The All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) has said that India’s intransigence on the Kashmir dispute has endangered the peace of the entire South Asia.
According to Kashmir Media Service, APHC spokesman Advocate Abdul Rashid Minhas, in a statement issued in Srinagar, strongly denounced the IIOJK Hindutva Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha’s order suspending three Kashmiri employees from their services on fake charges.
He said that the entire Jammu and Kashmir is a UN-mandated disputed territory whose future is to be decided by the Kashmiri people through a plebiscite supervised by the world body. The APHC urged India to end its illegal occupation of Jammu and Kashmir and let the Kashmiris exercise their inalienable right to self-determination.
The APHC pointed out that the August 5, 2019 illegal and unilateral actions taken by the BJP government led by Narendra Modi pose a serious threat to the demographic composition of Kashmir as well as regional peace and security.
He said the Manoj Sinha-led BJP regime’s Hindutva policies can neither change the historical facts nor Kashmir’s disputed status. The APHC spokesman said that India was using strong-arm tactics to crush the Kashmiris’ legitimate struggle for securing their right to self-determination but would never succeed in its nefarious designs. He maintained that the Indian BJP government must remember that permanent peace in South Asia is linked to a just settlement of the Kashmir dispute.
The spokesman urged the international community to put pressure on India to settle the Kashmir dispute in accordance with the Kashmiris’ aspirations and the relevant UN resolutions.
