They said the massive military presence itself exposes the hollowness of New Delhi\u2019s claims of peace and stability.<\/p>\n<p>The leaders said India\u2019s political and military leadership is issuing delusional and misleading statements to mask the worsening situation in the occupied territory, where arbitrary arrests, raids, harassment and rights violations have become routine. They added that Indian mainstream media is running a coordinated propaganda blitz to project an illusion of normalcy, while deliberately ignoring the suffering of the Kashmiri people.<\/p>\n<p>They maintained that New Delhi is increasingly relying on lies, distortion and obfuscation to divert international attention from grave human rights abuses being committed daily in IIOJK. The leaders said the fascist Modi regime can stoop to any level to malign Pakistan and delegitimize Kashmiris\u2019 legitimate and indigenous resistance movement.<\/p>\n<p>Rejecting India\u2019s narrative, the Hurriyat leaders asserted that Kashmir\u2019s freedom struggle is homegrown and rooted in the will and sacrifices of the Kashmiri people, and cannot be branded as Pakistan-sponsored to deceive the world. They said India\u2019s repeated attempts to link the movement with external factors reflect its political failure and moral bankruptcy.<\/p>\n<p>The leaders stressed that Modi\u2019s machinations to defame Pakistan and undermine the Kashmiri struggle are doomed to fail, as the truth of India\u2019s occupation and repression is becoming increasingly evident globally. They reaffirmed that Pakistanis and Kashmiris stand united and resolute in thwarting India\u2019s nefarious designs and will continue their struggle until the realization of their internationally recognized right to self-determination.
