GoI sneakily effecting demographic change in Kashmir: APHC

SRINAGAR — All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) said that in these severely difficult times of a global pandemic which the world is struggling to deal with-like elsewhere there is a lockdown in Kashmir, in such a time Government of India is sneakily speeding up new ordinances to effect demographic change in Jammu and Kashmir and turn its residents into a minority in due course of time.

“That this is being done at the time of the pandemic lockdown which follows the August lockdown so that people already under duress due to the repeated lockdowns are unable to protest it, makes it more condemnable,” the statement from APHC said.

APHC said that Government of India believes that at this time, the world is distracted by the pandemic to take notice, so it fervently appeals to the global community and people with a conscience in India, to wake up to these happenings in J&K and respond to the situation in the light of ethics and principles of justice.

APHC reiterated that J&K is an internationally acknowledged issue that has to be resolved peacefully as per the wishes of its people and between India and Pakistan and the people of entire J&K-the three parties to the conflict.
