Indian forces harassing people on security pretext in IIOJK
Amid intensified restrictions in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Indian forces are harassing people in the name of security for India’s Republic Day to be observed on January 26.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the day is observed as black day by the Kashmiris living across the Line of Control and world over.
Heavy contingents of Indian troops, paramilitary and Special Operation Group personnel have been deployed in Srinagar and other towns of the territory to prevent people from staging anti-India protest demonstrations. Security check points with sliding barricades have been set up at all entry points of the Kashmir valley and along Srinagar- Jammu highway.
Cordon and search operations, house raids, frisking, random searches and checking of identity cards by Indian police and paramilitary personnel could be witnessed at several places in the Kashmir valley and different parts of Jammu region.
Youth are daily summoned to the police stations and Tehsildar offices to sign and show their presence that they are not involved in any anti-India and pro-freedom activities.
Every year, the people of the occupied territory observe complete shutdown on January 26 to mark it as a Black Day on the call of All Parties Hurriyet Conference.
Turning from being a secular to Hindutva country under RSS-BJP nexus, India has become a great threat to its minorities.
Political experts and analysts while commenting on the inauguration of Ram Temple, built on the debris of centuries old Babri Masjid, by none other than the incumbent Prime Minister Narendra Modi, said that minorities are persecuted psychologically, physically and economically in India.
The persecution of Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, Dalits and other low-caste Hindus has increased manifold under state patronage and they are facing systematic oppression at the hands of Hindutva establishment and its political faces in India.
BJP rule as violence, intimidation and harassment against minorities have become the order of the day, they added.
“The rising attacks on minorities in Manipur, Punjab, Jharkhand, Utter Pradesh, Assam, Madiya Pradesh and other BJP ruled states have unmasked the true face of the world’s so-called largest democracy,” said experts.
Minorities are living in a perpetual state of fear due to the discriminatory policies of the Modi-led fascist Indian government. The RSS-backed Modi is on a mission to purge India of its minorities, they added.
They urged the world to take notice of the plight of minorities in India and the global community should act to ensure basic human rights to the Indian minorities.
