ISLAMABAD: Narendra Modi-led Indian government is deploying more troops in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) to suppress the Kashmiris’ ongoing struggle for freedom of their homeland from India’s illegal occupation.
According to Kashmir Media Service (KMS), 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.
All Parties Hurriyat Conference General Secretary Molvi Bashir Ahmad Irfani, in a statement in Srinagar on the eve of International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression, said the Kashmiri children are facing a very serious and dangerous situation due to Indian military occupation of Jammu and Kashmir. He deplored that in IIOJK everyday children are picked up and locked up in army camps and police stations where they are subjected to torture and inhuman treatment.
Peoples Democratic Party President Mehbooba Mufti, in a tweet, hit out at the authorities for not returning the mortal remains of Aamir Magrey, who was martyred by Indian troops in a fake encounter in November last year, to his family despite a court’s orders.
Aamir Magrey, a resident of Ramban in Jammu region, and three other civilians were martyred by the troops in a staged encounter in Hyderpora area of Srinagar on November 15 last year.
