New domicile law meant to make Kashmiris minority: Masood

ISLAMABAD: AJK President Sardar Masood Khan Thursday termed the new domicile law imposed by India's fascist regime in Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IOJK) a serious war crime.

In a video message, he pointed out that the fascist domicile laws violated the Fourth Geneva Convention and the UN Security Council resolutions on Kashmir and constituted a serious war crime and a crime against humanity as well.

He said the motive behind this development was to reduce the Muslims to a minority, to grab their jobs and lands, and to turn the territory into an Indian colony.

“In the wake of this step, Kashmiris will be homeless in their own homes, aliens in their country and they will be gradually deprived of their lands, jobs, university seats and livelihood,” he maintained.

Masood contended that while the entire world was fighting the deadly coronavirus pandemic, India had imposed a black law to snatch Kashmiris’ citizenship and their land, and through this, Indian army personnel, police, government employees and their families, Indian students and labourers, who had come to Kashmir from across India, and Indian refugees would be settled in Indian Occupied Kashmir.

Sardar Masood Khan said the Kashmiri people had rejected outright these illegal laws, and urged the United Nations, the UN Human Right Council and the International Committee of the Red Cross to call out India for this serious breach of international humanitarian law, and take steps to reverse and quash these unlawful laws.
