ISLAMABAD: Chairman Parliamentary Committee on Kashmir Shehryar Khan Afridi on Wednesday accused the Indian occupational regime for implementing a vicious plan of systematic economic strangulation of Kashmiris in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJ&K).
Addressing launching ceremony of a book titled ‘Kashmir: Demographic Shift, Historical Developments and Hindutva’ at Kashmir Council, he said the book reflected the fact that the academia of Pakistan was alive to the developments taking place in and around Kashmir region and as to how the Hindutva rule was involved in genocide of Kashmiris.
The book, authored by Dr Kashif Zaheer, Dr Rashid Aftab and others, covers the Indian war crimes being committed in IIOJ&K with a specific reference to demographic changes, historical developments taking place in Kashmir and invasion of Kashmir by Hindutva rule.
He said after sidelining the Kashmiris and putting the political leadership of Kashmiris behind bars, the Hindutva regime was involved in systematic economic strangulation of Kashmiris.
He said India was committing genocide of Kashmiris and information terrorism, demographic terrorism and cultural terrorism were being employed as major tool of genocide in IIOJ&K.
He urged the youth to become ambassadors of Kashmiris and share the atrocities being committed against the Kashmiris by the Illegally Occupied regime of India.
