The All Parties Hurriyat Conference has said that India is attempting to suppress the Kashmiris’ legitimate struggle for their right to self-determination through military  force, but it will not succeed in its sinister designs.  According to Kashmir Media Service, APHC spokesman Advocate Abdul Rashid Minhas, in a statement  issued in Srinagar, said that India’s continued occupation, injustice against the oppressed people  of Kashmir.

Illegal detentions of Hurriyat leaders, and gross human rights violations by Indian forces have escalated tensions in the South Asian region, which is surrounded by three nuclear powers—Pakistan, India and China. The APHC strongly condemned the abduction of three innocent civilians and the killing of two in custody of Indian forces in Kulgam district.  The spokesman added that Indian forces have unleashed a reign of terror across the besieged territory.

He urged the United Nations to take immediate notice of the deteriorating situation in IIOJK, where over a million people have been made hostages by more than one million Indian troops and are being denied their fundamental rights. He called upon UN Secretary-General António Guterres to urgently intervene for the settlement of the Kashmir dispute to prevent a potential nuclear catastrophe in South Asia.
