Islamabad, June 03, 2022 (PPI-OT):All Parties Hurriyat Conference Azad Jammu and Kashmir (APHC-AJK) chapter leader Altaf Hussain Wani has said that the Narendra Modi-led fascist Indian government is forcing Kashmiri Pandits to migrate from the valley to pave way for Muslims’ genocide.

Altaf Hussain Wani in a statement issued in Islamabad, citing the recent incidents of targeted killing of Kashmiri Pandits by unknown assailants, said that the BJP was following the footsteps of former governor of IIOJK, Jagmohan Malhotra – the man who orchestrated the drama of so-called Pandit-exodus from valley in early 90s to give a communal colour to the Kashmiris’ ongoing struggle.

He said the BJP government is now hell-bent on repeating history. He said the methodology and tactics being employed are same, however, the objectives are different. “In 1990 the government’s motive behind the mass migration of Pandits was to defame the freedom struggle and put blame on resistance fighters. This time the racist regime’s designs are far more dangerous than what Jaghmohan did in 90s”, he said. Getting Kashmir valley free from Pandits, he said, is part of the BJP’s sinister plan to pave way for the genocide of Muslims in Kashmir and turn the Muslim majority into a minority.

Terming it as part of the Indian government’s settler colonialism campaign, Wani said the Modi government has been engaged in hatching conspiracies to alter Kashmir’s demography. He said that settling non-state subjects, creating separate-colonies for Kashmiri Pandits and ex-army personnel in different areas of the valley had been on top of the BJP government’s agenda.

Meanwhile, the Chairman of Pasban-e-Hurriyat Jammu and Kashmir, Uzair Ahmad Ghazali, in a statement issued in Muzaffarabad said the dedication of Kashmiri people for their just right to self-determination is unflinching and exemplary. He said the people of Kashmir are making unparalleled sacrifices to liberate their motherland from India’s illegal occupation. He appealed to the people of IIOJK to thwart all the conspiracies of the Indian government to divide them on the basis of language, nationality, sectarianism and regionalism.
