Srinagar, Dec 28 (KNS): All Parties Hurriyat Conference on Tuesday said that the government of India is trying to change the demographic character of Muslim majority Jammu & Kashmir.

According to a statement, issued to Kashmir News Service (KNS), APHC said that the Government of India wants to change the demographic character of Muslim majority J&K and disempower its residents through several policies and measures in order to scuttle the final resolution of the long standing international political dispute of Kashmir.

“Since August 2019, one after other, laws and diktats are being implemented in J&K to facilitate the electoral prospects of the ruling party in India. Simultaneously the ruling dispensation is pursuing the divide and rule policy by dividing the population of J&K on the basis of religions, regions, ethnicities and political interests to fracture political aspirations and voices,” it said.

APHC said that the situation in J&K is deeply disconcerting and repressive as people are at the receiving end. (KNS)
