BRUSSELS (Kashmir English): Chairman of Kashmir Council Europe (KCEU) Ali Raza Syed has strongly condemned the Indian intelligence agency RAW for its patronizing terrorist activities in the US and other countries.
In a statement, he lashed the so-called biggest democracy for suppressing religious freedoms.
According to BBC and other international media, the US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) in its annual report of 2025 said, the treatment of minorities in India is deteriorating and it recommended sanctions be imposed on India’s external spy agency RAW over its alleged involvement in plots to assassinate Sikh separatists in the United States.
The commission recommended that the US administration should seize the assets of RAW and other Indian officials involved in serious violations of religious freedom and impose travel restrictions on them.
India’s involvement in terrorism
Ali Raza Syed was of the view that India’s involvement in terrorist operations on foreign soil poses a serious threat to global peace.
Recently, the assassination of Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada and conspiracy against another Sikh leader in the US has exposed India’s terrorist face across the globe.
The Modi-led government was also found involved in spreading wrong information and paddling false propaganda through fake websites in Europe in the recent years.
Ali Raza Syed also denounced the atrocities committed by India in occupied territory of Jammu and Kashmir.
He said that currently in occupied Kashmir, people are being forced to give video statements against the freedom movement so as to spread fear, which, he added, is a serious violation of civil liberties and international norms.
He said that the ongoing oppression and severe human rights violations against the Kashmiri people by the Indian government are of terrifying nature.
During Modi’s tenure, there has been an uptrend in Indian atrocities in occupied Kashmir, with attempts made to revoke its special status and alter the Muslim majority into a minority through changing domicile rules.
Kashmir Council Europe’s chair called upon the world community to take strict notice of these illegal and unethical actions by India.
“We urge the UN, major powers including US as well as human rights organizations to impose sanctions on India and compel it to cease its oppression of the Kashmiri people.”
Furthermore, the international community must pressurize India for a peaceful resolution of the Kashmir issue to establish lasting peace in South Asia, he demanded.
