Senior APHC-AJK leader Muhammad Farooq Rehmani while calling India one of history's dark occupation-neo colonial power in occupied Jammu and Kashmir since 1947, has said New Delhi has squeezed the territory and its inhabitants, put all the leaders, political workers and civil society members in different high security prisons across India and Jammu and Kashmir, making the entire region a vast prison. Muhammad Farooq Rehmani in a statement issued in Islamabad denounced Modi regime for implicating youth in fake criminal cases, imposing dreadful and illegal restrictions on the press, platform and social net-work, and confiscating hereditary properties of the owners, dismissing government servants from their jobs in pursuance of its unlawful design under the 5 August, 2019 declaration of dismemberment and merger of the occcupied territory with India. He condemned India's latest step to confer citizenship and land ownership rights on the West Pakistan refugees of 1947 and granting illegal domicile certificates to many illegal occupants from the Indian states and construction of the Maharashtra House in Budgam area over a large part of land in the district to advance its settler-colonial policy in her persistent and continuous violation of the international law and the UNCIP resolutions on Jammu and Kashmir.

He said that there was no peace, no rule of law and no peaceful atmosphere in the occupied Jammu and Kashmir and its majority Muslim population and their religious traditions, laws and culture including their education were in danger,  while the establishment of Delhi in Srinagar was involved in day to day implementation of anti-Kashmir laws and rules of procedure were made , reviewed and tune in an arbitrary manner to deprive the fragmented state of its historical status and demographic identity. Muhammad Farooq Rehmani urged the UN Secretary General to  take notice of India's illegal and arbitrary laws and steps in Jammu and Kashmir, prevent  her from further escalations  of the situation and depute a fact finding deputation to Srinagar and Jammu to collect on the spot evidence of international rights violations by a member of the UN after scrapping the Article 370 and 35A on August 2019.
