SRINAGAR (Kashmir English): Indian authorities have paced up demolitions raising around dozens of houses in the occupied Kashmir as part of collective punishment to the Kashmiris for raising voice for freedom.
The demolitions especially got pace after the April 22 Pahalgam false flag operation that took place in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir and claimed 26 lives.
UN-backed plebiscite in Kashmir
Under the Modi regime’s demolition policy, any Kashmiri individual who challenges India’s illegal occupation of his motherland, writes anything on social media and calls for UN-backed plebiscite is punishable through demolition of his house.
On April 24, Indian police released a list of 14 youths, connected to the houses razed across the valley.
Besides blowing up the homes where the families lived, the authorities also launched massive operations in Bandipora district.
The forces announced the killing of a civilian Altaf Lali, a 29-year-old labourer.
His family said that Lali was picked up from his home and then executed in the woods.
At this point in time, anybody who protests is arrested, and anyone who writes anything on social media is booked under Section 152 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and Section 66F of the Information Technology Act.
Elsewhere in the Valley, police launched a massive drive to prevent what they termed “anti-national” and “pro-terrorist” propaganda on the Internet.
Similarly, police have also warned social media users and press organisations against sharing “source-based” information
