India’s NIA Raids Target Freedom Fighters in IIOJK

India’s relentless raids aim to crush IIOJK’s fight for freedom—but they only fuel the fire of resistance.

India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA), notorious for its oppressive tactics, launched fresh raids across Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), aiming to further crush the Kashmiri freedom movement. Alongside Indian paramilitary forces, the NIA targeted several villages and towns in Baramulla, Reasi, Budgam, and Islamabad districts. An Indian official confirmed that the raids, still ongoing, were linked to old cases, highlighting the regime’s desperate attempt to intimidate and silence voices advocating for freedom.

These actions are not about justice—they’re a calculated strategy to harass the Kashmiri people, stifle dissent, and suppress any resistance to India’s illegal occupation. The NIA’s heavy-handed approach underscores the Indian state’s growing insecurity in the face of unwavering Kashmiri defiance.

In parallel, Indian forces arrested 18-year-old Mohammad Sadiq during a cordon-and-search operation in Noorkote village near the Line of Control in Poonch. This arrest serves as yet another example of the occupation forces’ ruthless efforts to suppress even the youngest voices demanding justice and self-determination.

The ongoing NIA raids reflect a systematic campaign to target and silence anyone associated with the struggle for Kashmiri freedom. With each raid, the Indian government only exposes its desperation and fear of a people determined to reclaim their rights.
