MK Faizy, the national president of Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) has expressed deep shock and grief over the present situation in Jammu Kashmir and in particular the distress of Kashmiris.
He express deep anguish over the “brutal military atrocities” in the ‘locked-down’ Kashmir.
Faizy said that it was not only the geographical territory of Kashmir, but the inhabitant Kashmiris too are Indian. “Killing, torturing and alienating Kashmiris on the basis of their religious faith will never bring peace but only aggravate the situation in the area”, Faizy said in a statement.
He claimed that following the undemocratic and unscrupulous abrogation of Articles 370 and 35A, dividing Jammu Kashmir into two Union Territories in August 2019, Kashmir was put under complete lock down by the rulers at the centre”, Faizy said.
Ridiculing the internet ban, Faizy said that the ban was a violation of all the international convention, the Internet access was banned or restricted denying the citizens all communications with the outside world.
“The bragging of the Amit Shah that abrogation of Articles 370 and 35A would ensure peace in the valley has been proven to be wrong and Kashmir is now under undeclared martial law. Brutalities of the army have exceeded all limits of human decency,” Faizy said.
Faizy, demanded that the inhumane atrocities of the army in Kashmir should be ended immediately and an independent team of human rights and social activists be allowed to visit Kashmir and take stock of the situation and report it. (with Inputs from Muslim Mirror)
