ISLAMABAD    -   The All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) has said that the BJP-led Hindutva government of India is trying to mislead the international community about the dire situation in occupied Jammu and Kashmir by staging parliamentary election drama in the territory. According to Kashmir Media Service, APHC spokesman Advocate Abdul Rashid Minhas said the Modi regime wants to bolster its normalcy claims through Lok Sabha elections in the occupied territory. He said India has been maintaining its illegal hold over Kashmir through its military might, highlighting that New Delhi has deployed over 1,100,000 troops in the UN-mandated disputed territory where civilians are treated as enemies with a soldierto- civilian ratio of 1:10. He pointed that with such a huge presence of troops, the occupied territory has become the world’s highest militarized zone. The APHC spokesman while expressing serious concern over the recent attempt by Hindutva goons to desecrate the sanctity of a mosque and a shrine in Tral area of Pulwama said such abhorrent acts were unacceptable to the people of Kashmir and they would resist such moves, tooth and nail. He said that masajid and shrines were not only the places of holding big religious gatherings, but the pulpits of these institutions have always represented the people’s emotions and their political aspirations. “It is for this reason that every anti-Kashmir and Hindutva RSS/BJP ruler, at different times in the history, has tried to weaken the centrality of these religious centers of the territory”, the spokesman added. The APHC also rejected the propaganda of Peoples Conference Chairman Sajjad Gani Lone wherein he claimed that the freedom ideology has died in occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
