ISLAMABAD, Mar 13 (APP):The All Parties Hurriyat Conference stated that India, frustrated by the resilience and patience shown by Kashmiris in their pursuit of the inalienable right to self-determination despite what it calls state repression, is now subjecting them to severe retaliatory actions.
          According to Kashmir Media Service, a spokesman for the All Parties Hurriyat Conference, Advocate Abdul Rashid Minhas, in a statement issued in Srinagar, said that India is an occupying power and that Kashmir is not an integral part of India but an internationally recognized dispute.
       He stated that the people of occupied Jammu and Kashmir would never allow the RSS-backed BJP regime to impose what he described as its Hindutva agenda in the territory.
      He added that despite killings, torture, arbitrary arrests, demolition of properties, termination of Kashmiri employees, and continued harassment, the day is not far when India will be forced to quit Jammu and Kashmir due to the unwavering and uncompromising stand of the Kashmiri people.
          Advocate Abdul Rashid Minhas said India has turned the occupied territory into one of the most heavily militarized zones in the world, with more than a million troops deployed across the region. He alleged that the forces are suppressing the people and violating their basic rights.
            The APHC spokesman said that apart from the use of force, attempts are also being made to undermine the identity, culture, and resources of Kashmiris. He claimed that since 5 August 2019, the BJP-led government has intensified measures aimed at changing the situation in the territory, but Kashmiris continue to show resilience, determination, and steadfastness.
                 He said the people of Kashmir remain firm in their demand for freedom and that their resistance has frustrated India. The APHC also appealed to the United Nations and international human rights organizations to play their role in resolving the Kashmir dispute.
