Srinagar, The Indian government has taken action to attach the residential property of a Hurriyat activist in the Bandipora district of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, in a move reflecting ongoing tensions in the region.

According to Kashmir Media Service, the current administration under the BJP has attached a 14 Marla residential property belonging to Hurriyat activist Irfan Ahmad in the Ashtengoo area. This action was taken as part of a case registered under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), a law often criticized for its stringent provisions.

The report also notes that this is not an isolated incident. Previously, Indian authorities have confiscated the headquarters of the All Parties Hurriyat Conference in Srinagar, along with hundreds of houses and properties belonging to various Hurriyat leaders and organizations. Among those affected are prominent figures such as Syed Ali Gilani Shaheed, Shabbir Ahmed Shah, Aasiya Andrabi, and members of the Jamaat-e-Islami. The authorities have also reportedly demolished numerous residential houses, shops, shopping complexes, and other properties in the occupied territory.

These actions are said to be part of a broader strategy aimed at penalizing individuals and organizations involved in the Kashmiri freedom struggle. The attachment and demolition of properties are viewed by many as a means to suppress dissent and the movement for self-determination in the region.
