The All Parties Hurriyat Conference has appealed to the world community to play its role in resolving the Kashmir dispute to save Kashmiris from Indian wrath.

The APHC spokesman, Advocate Abdul Rashid Minhas, in a statement in Srinagar, said that the Narendra Modi-led Indian government has waged a war on the unarmed people of occupied Kashmir to suppress their ongoing freedom movement.

He appealed to the world human rights organisations, particularly the United Nations Human Rights Council, to take cognizance of the arbitrary and illegal acts of the Indian forces in the occupied territory. 

Meanwhile, a complete shutdown was observed in the Ladakh region today with political, social and trade organisations protesting against winter elections.

Polling for Leh and Kargil Municipal Committees and panchayat elections is scheduled for the 21st of this month.

The Kargil Democratic Alliance, political parties and various trade unions called the shutdown.
