Indian forces have demolished the houses of five more Kashmiris in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), in what is being widely seen as a form of collective punishment against the entire Kashmiri community.
Residential houses were razed to the ground using high-intensity explosives. The demolished homes belonged to the parents of Amir Nazeer Wani in Tral, Pulwama; Jameel Ahmad Sher Gojri in Bandipora; Adnan Safi Dar and Amir Ahmed Dar in Shopian; and Farooq Ahmad Tedwa in Kupwara.
The explosions also caused extensive damage to dozens of neighboring houses, leaving several families homeless and in severe distress.
Critics state that Indian authorities, mimicking Israeli tactics of occupation and dispossession, are demolishing the homes of Kashmiris to render them homeless and break the will of the people resisting Indian occupation.
It is pertinent to mention that the Indian authorities have already demolished the ancestral homes of seven other Kashmiris through similar blasts over the past three days.
