Islamabad, 18 November — The All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) has strongly condemned India’s ongoing campaign of confiscating properties and demolishing homes in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), warning that such measures will never weaken the Kashmiri people’s resolve for freedom.

Mushtaq Ahmad Butt stated that despite seven decades of military repression, mass detentions, forced disappearances, media blackout, and psychological warfare, the Kashmiri nation has remained steadfast and united.
He emphasized that India has used every tool of oppression since 1947 to consolidate its illegal occupation, yet it has repeatedly failed to break the will of the Kashmiri people. “The deployment of over one million armed forces in a small and densely populated region is the biggest admission of India’s insecurity,” he said.
The APHC leader added that India’s reliance on draconian laws — including UAPA, PSA and AFSPA — arbitrary arrests, demographic engineering, and systematic suppression of dissent reflects “frustration, not strength.”
Issuing a serious warning, he said that if the world continues to remain silent, India’s aggressive policies could push South Asia toward a dangerous conflict. “Kashmir lies between two nuclear-armed states. Ignoring this flashpoint threatens regional and global peace.”
Mushtaq Ahmad Butt urged the United Nations, OIC, major world powers, and global human rights organizations to take urgent notice, initiate independent investigations, and pressure India to end its repression and restore fundamental rights.
Reaffirming the unwavering resolve of the Kashmiri nation, he said no amount of force or economic punishment can break the spirit of a people fighting for dignity, identity, and free
