Islamabad, June 29, 2023 (PPI-OT): The All Parties Hurriyat Conference Azad Jammu and Kashmir (APHC-AJK) chapter has strongly condemned the Indian government’s move to host a conference of Indian judges in Srinagar.
The APHC-AJK Convener, Mahmood Ahmad Saghar, General Secretary Sheikh Abdul Mateen and Information Secretary Imtiaz Wani in a joint statement issued in Srinagar said the Modi government is organizing a three-day judges’ conference in Srinagar, Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir from today, which is sinister attempt of promoting the so-called narrative of improving the situation in the territory. They said like the G20 meeting in IIOJK, this conference will also fail. They said that the attitude of the Indian judiciary towards Jammu and Kashmir and its people has always been biased. They said this conference is like rubbing salt on the wounds of the Kashmiris, adding the Indian judiciary has failed miserably in providing justice to Kashmiris.
The APHC-AJK leaders said the Indian judiciary has failed miserably in providing justice to Kashmiris. They said hundreds of cases, including massacres, cruelty and torture of Kashmiris by Indian soldiers in the occupied territory are pending in the Indian courts and Indian judges are not providing justice to the Kashmiris. They deplored that the Indian Supreme Court was indifferent to the hearing of the petitions filed against the cancellation of the special status of Jammu and Kashmir by the Modi government on August 5, 2019 and the Supreme Court judges are continuously delaying the hearing of these petitions to please the Modi government.
The APHC-AJK leaders said the life sentence of Kashmiri Hurriyat leader Muhammad Yasin Malik in a false case is a clear example of using the Indian judiciary as a weapon to suppress the freedom struggle of Kashmiris. The judicial killing of Shaheed Maqbool Butt and Afzal Gaur is a stain which the Indian judiciary can never erase from its face, they maintained.
