In occupied Kashmir, the grim ground situation remains unchanged in the Kashmir Valley and Muslim majority areas of Jammu and Ladakh regions due to unrelenting lockdown and military siege on 118th consecutive day, today.

The environment of fear and uncertainty continues to prevail due to heavy deployment of Indian troops and police personnel. 

Meanwhile, several Hurriyat leaders have been asked to appear before court, today, in connection with a false case registered against them in 1998.

Ironically, most of the leaders who have been asked to appear before the court are either lodged in Delhi’s Tihar Jail and other jails or under house arrest.

Meanwhile, a Kashmiri Pandit organisation has said Bharatiya Janata Party is misusing plight of their community to score points over the Kashmir dispute.

In a media interview in New Dehli, organisation’s Chairman, Satish Mahaldar, said that BJP is playing a dirty game in Kashmir and they are just trying to expose it. 

India’s Consul General in New York City, Sandeep Chakravorty, addressing a gathering of Kashmiri Pandits had said that Modi government would follow Israeli model to settle Hindus in occupied Kashmir.
