5 August, is a Black Day across Jammu & Kashmir—Muhammad Farooq Rehmani

5 August, 2021, will be marked as a Black Day across Jammu & Kashmir,  to denounce India’s decision of dismemberment of the State and its illegal and forcible merger with India. We appeal to all sections and regions of the State to demonstrate their political will-power by making the State-wide call for Hartal successful,’’ it was stated by Muhammad Farooq Rehmani, Convener All Parties Hurriyet Conference AJK, today. He said the people in Azad Kashmir and Pakistan and overseas also should show complete solidarity with the people of the illegally Indian occupied Kashmir, who have been making desperate attempts with unparalleled sacrifices  to show their hate against the occupation Hindutva regime of India.

 He said the environment for the last two years was do or die, or now or never and was calling upon the world to help the people of Kashmir in their struggle for freedom from India’s 8 hundred thousand strong occupation troops. In 2019, unfortunate day for the Kashmiris began with ‘’Kashmir Siege Day’’ and war crimes of Indian forces on the people began with impunity. During India’s mirage of secularism, India had done no good to humanity in this State, but now after throwing off the mantle of so called secularism under the leadership of Modi and Amit Shah it left no stone upturned to make repressive  laws to transform Kashmir into a Hindu majority State. ‘’India in Kashmir has changed all laws to that effect; laws of Delhi have been thrust, culture, language, demography all are under severe assault of the Hindu BJP government of India. 

The administration has been reshuffled totally and the Kashmiri Muslim officers and low paid employees have been terminated of their services and replaced by non Kashmiris and non Muslims. Besides, India has nefarious designs to alter the demographic structure of IIOK by its arbitrarily framed domicile rules and issuing hundreds thousands of state resident certificates to the outsiders in violation of its own historical laws and the international laws. All this is being conducted under the draconian laws, such as the AFSPA, PSA and Unlawful Activities (prevention) Act(UAPA), which are used to put leaders, political workers and youth in long detentions outside the State , fabricate criminal cases  to provide impunity to crimes against humanity and carry out state-sponsored  terrorism by their occupation forces, whose number has been increasing for the last 73 years despite UN’s bar on increasing them, he maintained.

 Muhammad Farooq Rehmani appealed to the UN to send their fact-finding teams to the IIOJK to find out the truth hidden by India before the world community, visit Indian prisons where kashmiri leaders or common citizens are languishing and instituting measures to resolve the long standing dispute according to the relevant resolutions of the United Nations.
