APHC laments UN failure to implement resolutions on Kashmir & Palestine
Srinagar: The All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) has said that Kashmiris have been enduring the consequences of India’s illegal occupation for the past 77 years.
According to Kashmir Media Service, in a statement issued in Srinagar, APHC spokesman Advocate Abdul Rashid Minhas highlighted that the occupation has transformed occupied Jammu and Kashmir into a militarized zone, while the Hindutva agenda, promoted by the RSS/BJP, aims to further its vision of Akhand Bharat in this internationally recognized disputed territory.
He emphasized that a common thread unites Hindutva India and Zionist Israel, with their growing relationship being fueled by a shared animosity towards Muslims. “The alliance between India and Israel poses a dangerous threat, expanding racism and Islamophobia globally, as both occupation regimes blatantly violate international treaties and covenants,” Minhas remarked.
The APHC spokesman pointed out that the ideological bond between Hindutva and Zionism serves as the foundation of the India-Israel relationship. He also mentioned that both India and Israel share a common geo-strategic interest in destabilizing Pakistan. He asserted that their cooperation is driven by expansionist ambitions, furthering settler-colonial projects in Kashmir and Palestine to legitimize the eviction of indigenous communities. “India is adopting Israel’s oppressive techniques, including extrajudicial killings, arbitrary detentions, and surveillance, to reinforce its illegal control over Kashmir,” he added.
Minhas lamented the United Nations’ failure to implement resolutions aimed at resolving the disputes in Kashmir and Palestine, emphasizing that the international community must take concrete actions to address these long-standing issues to ensure lasting peace.
Meanwhile, Mohammad Aqib, head of the Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Association, in a statement in Jammu expressed deep concern over the plight of illegally detained Kashmiri leaders, lawyers, journalists, social workers, women, and innocent youth in Indian jails. He urged the United Nations and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to pressure India for their release
