Kashmir on worst prosecution radar of India: Farooq Rehmani
ISLAMABAD, March 15 (SABAH): The Chairman of the Jammu and Kashmir People’s Freedom League and ex-Convener All Parties Hurriyat Conference AJ&K Muhammad Farooq Rehmani has strongly condemned ban on yet an another organisation JK National Front headed by its incarcerated Chairman Naeem Ahmad Khan to further deprive the political parties of their basic political and constitutional rights, when previously different pro freedom parties had been banned and prohibiting orders had been extended against them.
In a statement issued on Friday, Muhammad Farooq Rehmani said the entire Muslim population of the Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir was facing persecution in the hands of the establishment of the racist regime, e.g seizure of properties, dismissal of the Muslim employees from their services, arrests, and detentions under inhuman laws in the far-flung jails of India, digital surveillance of political sympathisers and their relatives coupled with hateful treatment in every walk of life . A graveyard-silence due to fear of surveillance on the human faces speaks a lot on the foggy and horrific situation of Kashmir.
He said the racist and anti-Muslim regime of Delhi was fooling the world by some cosmetic measures like having decorated Lall Chowk or a few VIP roads or constructing railway lines for its defence and strategic ends or showing lollipops without economic, or agricultural development of Kashmir’s infrastructure to grab all the Assembly or Parliamentary seats in the forthcoming elections in the fragmented State of Jammu and Kashmir.
He revealed that Kashmir’s political and economic infrastructure had completely been destroyed by the racist BJP rule and therefore no political or economic rights of the inhabitants were safe in the hands of the Hindutva rulers, who treat them as their slaves and serfs. India was taking advantage of grave world apathy on Kashmir. He said that henceforth the Indian Citizens Amendment Act would destroy the Muslims of India, while, the domicile and delimitation laws as implemented in J&K had turned everything topsy-turvy in the Muslim majority State of Jammu and Kashmir. And the day was not far-away, when the Muslim demography would see unexpected decline.
Farooq Rehmani lamented that India had projected Kashmir as a question of religious terrorism in the world while as it is basically a question of political rights, the right of self-determination and freedom and Kashmirs always sought their role in such basic issues that directly belonged to them. “We continue to emphasise upon our demand and expect that the world will understand us in a positive manner and lend her support to us,” he remarked.
