The Hurriyat called on India to “halt its campaign of unilateral changes in Kashmir”.
APHC said that “post the unilateral changes made in J&K by New Delhi in August 2019, the situation on ground is volatile though appearing to be ‘calm’,due to extreme sway of power on people . It cannot be sustained for long”.
The Kashmir conflict has to be addressed and Dialogue among stakeholders is the best bet to peaceful resolution.
We once again urge upon both India and Pakistan to join in and take the process forward. We reiterate our demand that the Government of India stops using force to implement unilateral changes made by them including demographic change, and release all political prisoners, rights activists, youth, journalists and all others in jails across India , including APHC chairman Mirwaiz who is under house detention since August 2019, the APHC added.
