Srinagar, August 25, 2022 (PPI-OT):Jammu and Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (DFP) has condemned in strong terms the rising incidents of Indian state terrorism and granting of voting rights to Indian citizens in Kashmir.
In a statement issued here on Wednesday, the DFP spokesman advocate Arshad Iqbal while voicing his party’s serious concern over the worsening human rights situation in the region said that the continued violence and bloodshed in the restive region poses a serious existential threat to Kashmiris who have been reeling under the India’s relentless and brutal suppression for the past several decades.
Terming killing of civilians as part of Indian government’s systematic genocide campaign, the DFP leader appealed the international human rights organization to take stock of the situation and help-stop the barbaric brutality being inflicted on Kashmiri people.
“Innocent people are being harassed and humiliated during cordon and search operations, whereas extra-judicial killings, enforced disappearances, rape and killing of youth in fake encounters are being used by India as a war tactic to suppress Kashmiris’ legitimate struggle for right to self-determination”, he said.
The spokesman also took serious notice of granting voting rights to Indian citizens and termed it a conspiracy aimed at minimizing the role of Kashmiri Muslims in the decision-making process and making them subservient to a minority community. The people of Kashmir, he said, have time and again foiled such conspiracies being hatched to disempower Kashmiri Muslims who have simply refused to accept Indian diktats.
