In occupied Kashmir, the Chairman All Parties Hurriyat Conference, Syed Ali Gilani, has said that India has turned the territory into a police state and a butcher house where people are being killed mercilessly and detained under frivolous charges.

Syed Ali Gilani in a statement in Srinagar strongly denounced the current wave of killing, arrests and other atrocities perpetrated by the Indian forces’ personnel.

The APHC Chairman pointed out that ahead of the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi’s visit to occupied Kashmir on Saturday, the puppet authorities while imposing undue curbs on civilians have turned the territory into a military garrison.

He maintained that the pro-India politicians were following the agenda of extremist Hindu organization, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and said that people particularly youth were being detained and there seemed to be no let-up in killing and harassment of civilians in occupied Kashmir.

Syed Ali Gilani expressed serious concern over fresh arrest spree, harassment of peaceful civilians and humiliation during crackdowns.
