Islamabad: The All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) Azad Jammu and Kashmir chapter has strongly condemned India\u2019s new laws, demographic change measures and interference in religious affairs in occupied Jammu and Kashmir.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, Hurriyat leaders expressed these concerns at a meeting in Islamabad. APHC-AJK Convener Ghulam Muhammad Safi chaired the meeting.<\/p>\n
The leaders said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government was introducing new laws and administrative measures. They said these steps aimed to deprive Kashmiris of their fundamental rights. They said India\u2019s demographic policies also threatened the territory\u2019s Muslim-majority identity. Such measures posed serious risks to Kashmiris\u2019 political, social and religious rights, they added.<\/p>\n
The meeting expressed deep concern over attempts to bring Friday sermons under government directives. The leaders said that the BJP government wanted to control sermons in Muslim-majority IIOJK.<\/p>\n
They said government interference in sermons and religious practices would undermine religious freedom. They stressed that Kashmiri Muslims must be free to practise their faith according to their beliefs.<\/p>\n
The leaders maintained that Muslims must enjoy the freedom to worship and perform religious duties in mosques. They said religious sites and sermons must remain free from political and administrative pressure.<\/p>\n
The Hurriyat leaders urged the international community, the United Nations and human rights organisations to take notice of the situation. They called for action to address demographic change measures, new laws and restrictions on religious freedom. They stressed the need to protect the fundamental rights of the Kashmiri people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
