SRINAGAR (Kashmir English): Complete shutdown will be observed in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) today (Friday) against the controversial Waqf Amendment Act and issuance of tens of thousands of domicile certificates to aliens.
All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) spokesman Advocate Abdul Rashid Minhas in a statement issued here reiterated the call for the strike and ‘Dargah and Jamia Masjid Chalo’ call.
Terming the Waqf Act an anti-Muslim move and a direct assault on the religious, political, and social identity of the Kashmiri and Indian Muslims, the APHC spokesman said struggle for freedom will continue.
Kashmir’s struggle for freedom
He said Kashmir’s struggle for freedom is indigenous, which seeks exercise of the UN-pledged plebiscite acknowledged by India itself.
He said Abrogation of Articles 370 and 35 A of the Constitution of India is totally unacceptable to people of Jammu and Kashmir. Minhas urged world community to take India to task for flouting UN resolutions on Kashmir and violating international agreement like Indus Water Treaty.
The Spokesperson further said that India’s “might is right policy” should not be allowed to prevail as it will give rise to the law of jungle in the world.
He also urged the United Nations to send a team to occupied Kashmir to probe all gruesome massacres on the occupied soil and the attack on tourists in Pahalgam.
Meanwhile, posters, displayed by the APHC in different parts of the occupied territory have also urged people to observe a strike today.
They asked the people of Kashmir to foil nefarious designs of Narendra Modi-led Hindutva regime to change the demographic composition of the territory.
Additionally, the posters have been widely shared on social media platforms, including Facebook and Twitter.
