In Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJ&K), Hindutva forces are now working on a plan to impose ban on the Kashmiri cultural dresses in order to rob Kashmiris of their identity.

According to Kashmir Media Service, Hindu extremist organization Rashtriya Bajrang Dal has put forward the demand for a ban on the traditional Kashmir outfit, phiran, in Kashmir Valley. The reason for  the proposed ban was stated to be the alleged misuses of the typical dress by mujahideen to carry out attacks on Indian occupational forces.

A delegation of Jammu and Kashmir Peoples League visited the residence of Shopian martyred youth and expressed sympathy with their families.

The youth were martyred by Indian troops a couple of days ago in Badigam Imamsahab area of Shopian.

Meanwhile, Indian Army, Central Reserve Police Force and Special Operations Group of Police continue to carry out raids and crackdown operations in several areas of the Kashmir valley.
