481 FIRs, 518 arrests in 22 days in IIOJK in fake cases
Srinagar: BJP-led Indian forces have arrested 518 people, including women, in different fake cases during crackdown and house-raid operations in the last four weeks in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the regime is arresting innocent people, including women, and attaching and demolishing properties under the cover of so-called anti-drug operations named ‘Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan’, raising concerns among common people about such targeted actions against Kashmiris.
Police and agencies led by the BJP regime under Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha have registered 481 cases and arrested 518 people since April 12 in the territory. An official said 24 properties have been confiscated and demolished during the period. Assets worth crores of rupees have also been seized, the official added. The violent actions in the name of the ‘Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan’ operation are being used as a pretext to defame the Kashmiris’ freedom struggle and to target Kashmiris and weaken their economic base amid their ongoing struggle for affiliation with their sentiments and the right to self-determination.
Residents termed the peddler and other related allegations part of a pattern aimed at maligning the Kashmiri freedom movement and deflecting global criticism. Drugs, including wine, cigarettes, and injections, are provided freely by the regime’s system in the territory, they said. They further said such operations under black laws are designed to confiscate land, alter the demographic composition of the territory, and crush the economy of the people.
