SRINAGAR, 17 December, 2020, (TON):  In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the occupation authorities have identified 200 kanals of land in Badgam district to set up the colony for the former Indian soldiers.

The Chairman of Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Association (JKPA), Aquib Wani has expressed deep concern over India’s identification of land in the territory for establishing soldier colonies.

Aquib Wani in a statement issued in Jammu said that the evil and heinous conspiracy hatched by the Modi-led BJP government in New Delhi regarding soldier colonies was aimed at changing the Muslim majority status of IIOJK.

He said, the Indian government is on war against innocent people of IIOJK and is implementing the policies which are against human ethics and the international law.

The Convener of AJK chapter of Mirwaiz-led Hurriyat forum, Syed Faiz Naqshbandi in a statement said, the Kashmiris will resist all these sinister designs and anti-Kashmir moves of the Modi-led Indian communal government.

He described such acts as an Israel-type colonial step to turn the Muslim-majority status of IIOJK into a minority.

Syed Faiz Naqshbandi sought the intervention of the UN Secretary General for immediate release of Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and other Hurriyet leaders and activists languishing in different jails of India and the territory.

He said that under a well-planned agenda India is illegally issuing domicile certificates in large number to non-Kashmiris and Indian citizens to change the demography of IIOJK.

Syed Faiz Naqshbandi appealed to the United Nations and the peace-loving countries of the world to ask India to stop repressive measures in the territory and implement Kashmir resolutions so that permanent peace could be established in the region.

Demographic flooding in IIOJK is just to change region’s Muslim-majority into second-class citizens, a minority and pave way for ethnic cleansing.
