Srinagar, The government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi attached properties of several Kashmiri freedom activists in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) on Wednesday. The recent action is part of an ongoing campaign against activists in the region.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the Indian police announced the confiscation of properties belonging to four Kashmiri activists in the Ganderbal district of Central Kashmir. The authorities identified the affected individuals as Lateef Khan, Mohammad Hussain Shah, and Wali ullah, specifying the extent of the properties attached. Lateef Khan’s property comprises 13 Marlas, Mohammad Hussain Shah owns 3 Kanals and 14 Marlas, and Wali ullah possesses 13 Kanals.
The police have claimed that all four activists are currently absconding. This move by the Indian government is seen as a continuation of its efforts to suppress dissent and activism in the region, which has been a subject of long-standing dispute and conflict.
In a related development earlier on Wednesday, the occupation regime attached a 14 Marla residential property belonging to a Hurriyat activist named Irfan Ahmad in the Ashtengoo area of the Bandipora district. These actions reflect the Modi regime’s stringent approach towards individuals and groups it deems as opposed to its policies in IIOJK.
The situation in IIOJK remains tense, with frequent reports of human rights violations and suppression of political dissent. The international community has been closely monitoring the developments in the region, which continues to be a flashpoint between India and Pakistan.
