The All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) has said that India’s brutal occupation of Kashmir poses a challenge to the international community, urging resolution of the longstanding dispute in accordance with UN resolutions and the aspirations of the Kashmiri people. According to Kashmir Media Service, the APHC spokesman Advocate Abdul Rashid Minhas in a statement issued in Srinagar said no amount of killings, arrests or torture will deter Kashmiris from their quest of freedom. He underscored the unwavering resolve of the Kashmiri people, stating they are ready to face Indian bullets but will not capitulate. "The Kashmiri people are resolute in their struggle to liberate their homeland from Indian yoke, steadfastly resisting BJP/RSS attempts to impose Hindutva ideologies in IIOJK," the APHC asserted. The spokesman said that the Modi regime cannot suppress the Kashmiris’ aspirations for freedom, noting their unwavering commitment to resist Indian occupation. He affirmed that Kashmiris will continue to sacrifice until they achieve freedom from Indian clutches.

The APHC spokesman maintained that the Kashmiri people were united to defeat India’s nefarious designs in occupied Jammu and Kashmir, hailing their steadfast rejection of Indian hegemony. He highlighted the ongoing people's struggle as a pivotal chapter in Kashmir's history, saying the day is not far when Kashmiris will see the dawn of freedom. The statement concluded by urging India to release all political prisoners, including Hurriyat leaders and youth, and appealed to the UN to intervene and resolve the Kashmir dispute in accordance with its resolutions. Meanwhile, posters have surfaced at various locations in IIOJK, highlighting the Modi regime's religious bias against Kashmiri Muslims. The posters assert that Kashmiris reject Hindutva-based communalism, adding the Modi regime was granting special privileges to yatris (Hindu pilgrims) while imposing restrictions on Kashmiri Muslims' religious practices. The posters condemn the curbs on Muslim congregations during significant religious events, including Muharram.
