The All Parties Hurriyat Conference has condemned India’s claims of normalcy in the occupied territory, stating that the Modi regime has instead enforced a "militarized normalcy" through a massive military presence and repressive measures.

APHC spokesperson Advocate Abdul Rashid Minhas highlighted the daily cordon-and-search operations, raids, crackdowns, and arbitrary arrests that expose India’s false narrative of peace.

He demanded that India allow UN observers and global human rights organizations to visit IIOJK to assess the ground reality.

Meanwhile, the BJP-led Indian government has confiscated at least 193 properties in Indian Illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir since 2023, in what is seen as a punitive measure against Kashmiris for their association with the ongoing movement for self-determination.

Observers view this as part of a broader strategy to economically weaken Kashmiris and suppress their calls for freedom.

Since the revocation of Kashmir’s special status in August 2019, such actions have intensified. Properties linked to pro-freedom leaders and organizations, including Syed Ali Gilani, Shabbir Ahmed Shah, and Jamaat-e-Islami, have been confiscated or demolished. Even the All Parties Hurriyat Conference headquarters in Srinagar has been seized.

On the other hand, a 72-hour sit-in by locals at Shalimar Park in Katra, Jammu, entered its third day today. The protest, led by shopkeepers and landowners opposing a proposed ropeway project, demands a proper rehabilitation plan for those affected.
