Anti India Protest

Dec 16 (APP): An anti-India public protest was organized here Wednesday under the aegis of Pasban-e-Hurriyat Jammu and Kashmir on the completion of 500 days of Indian military siege, oppression, terrorism, and forced partition of the state on August 5, 2019, in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).

According to details, hundreds of protesters chanted anti-India slogans and set ablaze the Indian flag at Burhan Wani Shaheed Chowk.

The protesters were carrying banners and placards inscribed with condemnatory phrases. Pasban-e-Hurriyat Chairman Uzair Ahmad Ghazali on the occasion said that Jammu and Kashmir was a predominantly Muslim-majority state.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) violated international laws and divided the state into two regional parts through 900,000 armed forces. He maintained that India has set the worst example of state repression by removing the identity of Jammu and Kashmir.

He said “The Indian government has imposed the longest curfew in human history since August 5,2019, destroying the economy worth billions of rupees in the state and leaving the people jobless.” He voiced that the nefarious plan to settle citizens in the disputed state has begun.

“The BJP government has so far issued domicile certificates to 2.2 million Indian citizens,” Ghazali added. He said that the Kashmiri people would thwart these heinous plans of India in any case.

He further said that during these five hundred days, 291 Kashmiri citizens were martyred in fake military encounters, crackdowns, sieges, and search operations and thousands of civilians were injured with bullets, pellet guns, and baton charges and these are the testimonies of the worst acts of terrorism.

Uzair stated that Indian forces widowed 16 women and orphaned more than 40 children. “Indian forces have arrested about 14,700 children, youth, elders, liberal leaders, workers, scholars, businessmen and lawyers, and silenced those seeking freedom, justice, and peace,” he said.
