Srinagar, June 03, 2022 (PPI-OT):Narendra Modi-led fascist Indian government is deploying more troops in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir to suppress the Kashmiris’ ongoing struggle for freedom of their homeland from India’s illegal occupation.
Deployment of 150 additional companies of paramilitary troops has already been made in different areas of the occupied territory. Two hundred more companies of the troops will be deployed before the 15th of this month in the name of security of Hindu pilgrims during the annual Amarnath Yatra commencing on 30th of this month.
These troops are in addition to the 1.3 million Indian military, paramilitary and police personnel already deployed in IIOJK to subdue the Kashmiris’ freedom sentiment. However, despite this heavy deployment and employing all brutal tactics, New Delhi has miserably failed to coerce the Kashmiri people to surrender their just cause.
