PTI leader urges redoubling of efforts to expose India

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Azad Jammu and Kashmir chapter President Barrister Sultan Mahmood Chaudhry rejected the newly introduced amendments in Jammu and Kashmir domicile law by the Indian government, saying the controversial move was like rubbing salt in the bleeding wounds of Kashmiris.

“Kashmiris have been going through terrible times since India stripped the region of its decades’ old special status,” he maintained in a statement issued here.

He said, “the anti-Kashmir law fraught with dangerous political ramifications is part of the nefarious design the basis of which were laid by the BJP government on the fateful day of August 5, 2019.”

Terming it a deep rooted conspiracy against Kashmiris, Barrister Sultan said India under the garb of this new law had opened floodgates for non-Kashmiris to settle in the occupied territory, which was a disastrous recipe for depriving Kashmiris of their land, jobs and other privileges.

Referring to dangerous dimensions of the law, the PTI leader said, “under the garb of this law the non-state-subjects will seize resources of Jammu and Kashmir besides facilitating them to grab Kashmiris' lands.”

He said that the PTI-AJK chapter, along with other political parties, would oppose this law tooth and nail at all levels and expose India’s aggressive designs against Kashmiris at international level.

The PTI leader appealed the people of Indian Occupied Kashmir not to sell their land to outsiders in any case. Barrister Sultan also urged Kashmiris to be vigilant of Indian government and its power hungry puppets who, he said, have always betrayed common people for their petty interests.

“India has changed the domicile law at a time when entire world is hectically engaged to fight of the coronavirus so that there will be no public outcry against it while all the key leaders of the Hurriyat Conference are detained along with thousands of their supporters,” he pointed out.

He said that Kashmiris settled in different parts the world, would not sit silent on the India’s constitutional terrorism against Kashmiris.

Urging Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan and Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi to redouble their efforts to sensitize international community about India’s dangerous game plan, Barrister Sultan said that efforts were being made to turn Kashmir into another Palestine.
