Complete strike/shutdown against India in IOJK on the call of Mirwaiz Umar Farooq hailed

Islamabad: 31 October: APHC Convener Syed Faiz Naqshbandi in a special session of APHC has appalled the people of Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir for complete shutdown and strike against Indian government’s illegal amendments in land ownership laws in Indian Jammu and Kashmir promulgated under “J-K Re-organisation (Adaptation of Central Laws) Third Order, 2020” and other moves of demographic changes and the ongoing human rights violations.

Naqshbandi said that Jammu and Kashmir is UN recognised dispute – under the relevant UN Resolutions and international law. India’s illegal and unilateral actions of 5 August 2019, and subsequent measures, particularly the domicile law and now the land ownership laws, are aimed at changing urgently the demographic structure of Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmiri and to convert the Kashmiris into a minority in their own land. This is a clear violation of the 4th Geneva Convention and constitutes war crime.

APHC Convener has said the case will be taken to International Court of Justice and ICC against Indian moves for changing demographics of UN recognised disputed territory “Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir “ and systematic human right abuses there by Indian forces.

The United Nations Security Council and the international community must take immediate action to stop India from changing the demography, human rights abuses and facilitate resolution of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute as per the relevant UNSC Resolutions Naqshbandi concluded.

The meeting was attended by Syed Yousaf Naseem, Mir Tahir Masud, Hassan BANA Syed Ajaz Rehmani, Zahid Safi, Mian Muzaffar members of APHC Islamabad.
