Srinagar: In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the All Parties Hurriyat Conference has said that the Indian Ministry of Home Affairs is promoting a fabricated and misleading narrative to discredit the legitimate struggle of the Kashmiri people and tarnish the image of the Hurriyat leadership. The APHC, however, made it clear that New Delhi will never succeed in its malicious designs.

APHC Spokesperson Advocate Abdul Rashid Minhas, in a statement issued in Srinagar, said that Indian Home Minister Amit Shah, who recently visited IIOJK, has granted a free hand to Indian forces and intelligence agencies to use every brutal tactic in order to intimidate peaceful Kashmiris and force them to abandon their indigenous freedom movement.

He noted that a renewed propaganda campaign is underway targeting the Hurriyat leadership, with black laws are being indiscriminately invoted to harass, coerce and force leaders into issuing statements under duress. 'The Indian government has launched a systematic campaign of disinformation, seeking to crush a peaceful, legitimate movement through sheer force,' Minhas said.

APHC spokesperson stressed upon the United Nations to take notice of the ongoing human rights violations in occupied Kashmir and should pressurize the Indian leadership to resolve the Kashmir dispute.
