APHC seeks withdrawal of Govt order about police verification

SRINAGAR — All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) on Monday expressed regret and concern over the Lieutenant Governor-led administration’s issuance of ‘autocratic’ orders, one after another, against the interests of Kashmiri people, which are to close the doors and recourse to employment for the people here.

APHC in a statement said that after the unilateral decision taken by the Government of India on August 5, 2019 regarding Jammu and Kashmir, such laws are being continuously enforced here, which are not only anti-Kashmir and but also un-democratic.

“After the forcible dismissal of dozens of government employees in the last few weeks, now a policy of not issuing passports and denying government jobs to youth under the garb of being so-called “stone-pelters or “anti-national” is being enforced,” the statement said.

APHC said Kashmiri people are well aware what these coercive and anti-people policies by the government targeting the people of Jammu and Kashmir under a proper plan are aimed to achieve. It said those in charge should rethink on their repressive strategy and withdraw such diktats that will only lead to further resentment.
