“New Delhi is attempting to present an image of normalcy in Kashmir while the territory remains the world’s most militarized zone,” the he said. “Under the guise of development, the Modi regime is opening IIOJK to Indian corporate interests and using economic narratives to mask military occupation.”He said economic development in IIOJK remains a façade as long as Indian military occupation continues. “How peace and development can happen when Kashmir has been turned into an open-air prison and surveillance state,” he asked.
The APHC spokesman reiterated that the principal demand of Kashmiris remains a UN-backed plebiscite, not externally imposed development projects. “Kashmiris are not against peace and development, but they seek freedom from Indian occupation as their foremost goal.
