Barrister Sultan terms India promoter of terrorism

ISLAMABAD: President Azad Jammu and Kashmir Barrister Sultan Mahmood Chaudhry said India has emerged as a promoter of terrorism that is not only involved in terrorist activities in occupied Kashmir but also in Pakistan, Canada and other parts of the world.

In a statement issued on Sunday, the AJK president said that India’s expansionist designs posed a serious threat to the peace and security in South Asia.

The Hindu supermacist regime led by Modi was hell bent on expelling Muslims of the occupied Kashmir and India to make India a Hindu Rashtra- a purely Hindu state for upper caste Hindus in India.

“Muslims living in India for centuries are being rendered homeless, and forced to leave the country,” he added.

Referring to the post August 05 scenario in Kashmir, Barrister Chaudhry said that after stripping the region of its special status and splitting it into two parts, the Modi regime had turned it into a colony.

Terming these actions as a violation of all the UNSC resolutions and international treaties, he said the people of Kashmir have outright rejected this illegal move.

“Since then, the political and human rights situation in the IIOJ&K has worsened,” he said, adding that innocent youths were being arrested and subjected to the worst torture in detention camps and torture cells.

He said that rape was being used as a weapon of war by the Indian occupation forces in Kashmir. About India’s land grab policy in Kashmir, he said that Kashmir’s prime land was being sold to non-Kashmiris on nominal prices under the so called investment policy.

On the other hand, the president, pointed out that the fascist regime had intensified its efforts to alter the region’s demography.

He said that granting domicile certificates to non state subjects was part of the Modi government’s policy to turn Muslim majority into a minority.

Barrister Sultan Mehmood Chaudhry said that it was high time that the international community should take immediate notice and stop India from its terrorist activities.
