Kashmiris disprove BJP Government’s illegal rule in IIOJK
Srinagar:The people of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) continue to live Indian Army’s suppressive rule, a situation that has persisted since the partition of the Sub-continent, and nothing has changed for them as they remain deprived of basic needs and facilities.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the Modi government revoked Article 370 in 2019, asserting that it would lead to the region’s development. However, the ground reality reveals a starkly different picture, with Kashmiris still deprived of their basic needs.
In a special video, Kashmiri youth highlighted the severe impact of the abrogation of Article 370 on their lives. They mentioned that the region once had its own assembly, and they were provided limited employment opportunities. Since the abrogation, even these jobs have disappeared, leaving many educated youths, even those with PhDs, to resort to manual labor.
The dire employment situation has forced many Kashmiris to migrate in search of better opportunities. Daily wage labor has become the norm, with more than half of the population having left their homes to find work elsewhere.
The video specifically mentions a village in Budgam, where residents earn a meager 5,000 to 6,000 Indian Rupees per month from labor. The village lacks basic facilities such as electricity, water, and gas, leading to a life of severe hardship. Healthcare is virtually non-existent, with residents needing to travel two hours to Srinagar for medical treatment. Education is also neglected, with only one primary school that lacks essential facilities.
Residents of the village feel abandoned, asserting that the Indian government might not even be aware of their village’s existence. This sense of neglect underscores the broader issues faced by the people of IIOJK, who continue to challenge the narrative of development promoted by the BJP government.
