New Delhi: National Conference Member of Parliament Agha Ruhullah Mehdi has raised concerns in the Indian Parliament over the forcible confiscation of Kashmiris\u2019 agricultural land and orchards under the pretext of railway construction in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, Mehdi said, \u201cOur orchards and farmlands, sustaining families for decades, are being seized for railways we never agreed to. How is this \u2018development\u2019 when it tramples our rights?\u201d<\/p>\n

He further highlighted that the revocation of Article 370 stripped IIOJK of its special status, and now, land grabs threaten to erase the region\u2019s cultural and economic roots. \u201cHow many more layers of loss must Kashmiris endure before this exploitation ends?\u201d he questioned.<\/p>\n
