The incarcerated senior leader of All Parties Hurriyat Conference, Shabbir Ahmed Shah, has urged the international community to hold India accountable for the war crimes committed by its troops in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

In his message from New Delhi’s infamous Tihar Jail, Shabbir Ahmed Shah expressed concern over the unending Indian state terrorism in the occupied territory.

He deplored that Indian troops were killing innocent Kashmiris to suppress their ongoing freedom movement but would never succeed in their nefarious designs.

He maintained that the Kashmiris are committed to take their freedom struggle to its logical conclusion at all costs.

In a joint statement in Srinagar APHC leaders, Syed Bashir Andrabi and Khwaja Firdous appealed to the UN to take steps to implement its resolutions to settle the Kashmir dispute for ensuring durable peace in the region.

Meanwhile, Indian troops and paramilitary personnel continued their cordon and search operations on 14th consecutive day, today, in different towns and villages of Rajouri, Poonch, Kishtwar, Doda, Reasi, Samba and Jammu districts.

The troops are particularly terrorizing the Muslim families during house to house searches in these districts.

Panic gripped Androla village in Rajouri district after a VDG member fired some gunshots.

Residents of Surankote area of Rajouri district staged a protest demonstration against the killing of a 9-year-old boy.

India continued systematic discrimination and stigmatization of minorities in 2022: HRW

Human Rights Watch has said the BJP-led Indian government last year continued its systematic discrimination and stigmatization of religious and other minorities, particularly Muslims.

In its World Report 2023 the group said, BJP supporters increasingly committed violent attacks against targeted groups.

The report said authorities intensified efforts to silence civil society activists and independent journalists by using politically motivated criminal charges, including terrorism, to jail those exposing or criticizing government abuses.

It added the BJP government’s promotion of Hindu majoritarian ideology provokes authorities and supporters to engage in discriminatory and at times violent actions against religious minorities.
