All Parties Hurriyat Conference has emphasized the need for unity among Kashmiris to pursue their rightful demand for a plebiscite to ascertain the political future of Jammu and Kashmir.

APHC spokesman, Advocate Abdul Rashid Minhas, in a statement issued in Srinagar today termed the Kashmir dispute a political and human problem, reiterating that India cannot retain its illegal occupation through military might and state terrorism forever.

Meanwhile, people from all walks of life have strongly condemned the Modi government's Waqf Amendment Bill 2024, calling it a direct interference in the religious affairs of Muslims in India and occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

 They described the bill as a new legal weapon meant to target Muslim institutions, faith, and religious freedom.

On the other hand, Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir continued to reel under intensifying state terrorism as brutal cordon and search operations escalate human rights abuses, inflicting widespread suffering on the besieged Kashmiri population.

Meanwhile, Kashmiri diaspora members from across the United States and Canada gathered in Highland, Maryland, emphasizing the need for unity and a collective approach to resolve the Kashmir dispute.

Speakers on the occasion pleaded for the release of Kashmiri leader Muhammad Yasin Malik, and warned of an impending genocide in occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
