All Parties Hurriyat Conference has rejected India's self-styled census of 2024 terming it unwarranted intrusion into the personal affairs of Kashmiri people in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
In their separate statements in Srinagar, APHC leaders Ghulam Muhammad Khan Sopori, Syed Bashir Andrabi, Muhammad Yasin Attai, Muhammad Yousuf Naqash and other Hurriyat leaders described the census as a blatant violation of international laws.
The APHC leaders expressed the unwavering commitment of the Kashmiri people to their ultimate goal of complete freedom from India despite enduring decades of oppression, including arrests, fake encounters and property confiscation.
The statements called on international bodies, including the United Nations to promptly intervene and address the Kashmir dispute in its historical perspective.
Jailed APHC leader Bilal Siddiqi in a message from Srinagar Central Jail, emphasized that given the changing circumstances, Kashmir should be addressed and resolved through a sustained dialogue process.
Siddiqi pointed out India's relentless efforts to change the demographic composition by settling non-Kashmiris in the territory, which he deemed a violation of UN resolutions and international laws.
