In Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, amid restrictions, raids and crackdowns, Kashmiri Muslims are observing yet another Eid-ul-Azha today under brutal Indian military siege.

According to Kashmir Media Service, all Muslim festivals including Eids have lost meaning to the Kashmiris who are facing killings, arrests and torture at the hands of Indian occupation forces on daily basis.

Meanwhile, the Modi-led fascist Indian regime disallowed Eid-ul-Azha congregations historical Eidgah, Srinagar, Jamia Masjid, Srinagar, and Eidgah at Islamabad in South Kashmir, today.

The authorities locked the main gate of the Jamia Masjid, Srinagar, while huge deployment of Indian troops, paramilitary and police personnel were made on roads and streets in Nowhatta and several areas of the city.

After mainstream media, India has also placed restrictions on social media to keep the outside world unaware of Modi-government’s brutal measures.

The APHC leadership in a statement denounced the authorities for disallowing the Kashmiri people to offer Eid prayers at Eidgahs and grand mosques. 

The leadership urged the United Nations Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, to help settle the lingering Kashmir dispute in accordance with the Security Council resolutions so that they can celebrate their religious festivals with all freedom and dignity.
