World’s silence encouraged India to keep on its repression in Occupied Kashmir: Masarrat Aalam

SRINAGAR, Sep 2 (SABAH): Detained Chairman of All Parties Hurriyat
Conference, Masarrat Aalam Butt has said that world’s criminal silence has
encouraged India to keep on its repression in Indian illegally occupied
Jammu and Kashmir.

In a message from New Delhi’s Tihar Jail, Masarrat Aalam Butt said the
Narendra Modi-led Indian government is using its military might to suppress
the Kashmiris’ struggle for right to self-determination but will never succeed
in its nefarious designs.

He pointed out that India has waged a war on the unarmed people of
occupied Jammu and Kashmir and the Indian atrocities witnessed an
upsurge after 5 August 2019.

The APHC Chairman said the Kashmiris have been facing the Indian
brutalities for the last seventy-six years just for demanding their right to

self-determination. He said the Indian repression cannot force the Kashmiri
people to give up their just demand. He appealed to the world human rights
organizations to raise their voice against the Indian atrocities in IIOJK.

APHC leaders including Saleem Zargar, Abdul Samad Inqilabi, Maulana
Musaib Nadvi, Israr Ahmad and Malik Noor Muhammad Fayaz in their
statements in Srinagar said India is employing terrorism as a state policy to
intimidate the Kashmiris into submission. They said Indian troops are
perpetrating grave human rights violations in occupied Kashmir and 8
Kashmiris fell to the Indian bullets in last month of August.

The APHC leaders said that atrocities by Indian troops, paramilitary and
police personnel during cordon and search operations have become a routine
matter in the occupied territory. However, they said the Kashmiri people are
determined to continue their freedom struggle, despite Indian state
terrorism.
