APHC Warns India’s War Rhetoric Poses Grave Threat to South Asia’s Peace

With a dangerous and careless attitude that has alarmed the entire region, India’s political and military leaders are openly beating the drums of war, pushing South Asia towards a major conflict. In a powerful statement from Srinagar, the All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) has issued a serious warning, with its spokesman, Advocate Abdul Rashid Minhas, declaring that India’s hostile talk is a direct threat to peace. His words expose the Modi government’s dangerous agenda, which is designed to hide its failures at home and its cruel occupation in Jammu and Kashmir. The international community must now listen to these warnings, see India as the main threat to regional stability, and hold it responsible for its actions before it is too late.

India’s Dangerous Threats of War

The irresponsible and aggressive language now used by top Indian government officials and military generals has created a very tense and unstable situation. As Advocate Minhas stated, instead of promoting peace, these leaders are actively encouraging conflict with their constant threats, showing a dangerous belief in using military force over dialogue.

◆ Hostile Statements from the Very Top: The repeated warmongering remarks by India’s defence minister and his military chiefs, as pointed out by the APHC, expose a planned and dangerous strategy to create a climate of fear and hostility with neighbours.

◆ A Clear Pattern of Deliberate Aggression: These are not isolated incidents but part of an intentional plan to destroy any chance for peace and to justify India’s military buildup under the false claim of self-defence.

The Hate-Filled Ideology Behind the Aggression

This alarming push towards war is not just a policy; it is driven by a hateful ideology. The APHC spokesman made it clear that the Indian state, including its military, has been taken over by the extremist Hindutva ideology of the ruling BJP, a worldview that is built on hate, dominance, and aggression against minorities and neighbouring countries.

◆ An Ideology of Domination and Violence: Advocate Minhas identified the root cause as the Hindutva philosophy, which sees violence as an acceptable tool to achieve its goal of a Hindu nation, a dark vision that has no room for peaceful coexistence.

◆ Military Generals Parroting the Extremist Narrative: In a shameful break from their professional duty, India’s generals are, in the words of the APHC, simply “parroting the extremist narrative of the Modi regime,” becoming mouthpieces for a divisive political agenda.

Threatening War as a Political Distraction

The Modi government is obsessed with creating a war-like situation because it is a classic trick to distract people from its terrible failures at home. As the APHC spokesman explained, this aggression is a desperate attempt to shift focus from the growing resistance to its illegal occupation of Jammu and Kashmir.

◆ Hiding Massive Failures at Home: By creating an outside enemy and promoting extreme nationalism, the BJP government hopes the Indian public will forget about its internal failures, a collapsing economy, and deep social problems.

◆ Diverting Attention From the Uprising in Kashmir: The threat of a bigger war is a convenient cover to hide the brutal reality of India’s occupation and to distract from the legitimate uprising of the Kashmiri people against their oppressors.

India’s Campaign of Terror in Kashmir

The true and violent nature of the Indian state can be seen in its actions in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir. Since August 5, 2019, the Modi regime has, according to the APHC, intensified its horrific campaign of state-sponsored terror, turning the valley into what the spokesman called a “living hell.”

◆ Mass Arrests and Torture of Civilians: Indian soldiers are arresting Kashmiris of all ages without reason, using brutal methods of torture and abuse to crush their fair demand for self-determination.

◆ Seizing Property and Firing Employees to Punish Dissent: In a cruel and illegal policy, Indian authorities are confiscating the homes of Kashmiris and dismissing government employees to punish entire families and stop any form of opposition.

◆ Letting Dreaded Agencies Terrorize the People: Dangerous Indian agencies like the SIA and NIA operate without any fear of punishment, conducting terrifying raids on homes that are simply a cover for terrorising and controlling the local population.

A Campaign to Silence Every Voice of Truth

India’s cruelty in Kashmir is not just physical; it is also a war on the truth itself. The Modi government has started an organized campaign to silence anyone who dares to speak out against its crimes, with the APHC confirming that no one is being spared.

◆ Academics, Journalists, and Activists Are Not Spared: Anyone who reports on the reality of the Indian occupation, defends human rights, or simply speaks the truth is called an enemy of the state, arrested on fake charges, and thrown in jail.

◆ A Brutal Attack on Free Thought and Speech: By targeting educated and respected voices, the Indian government is trying to create an atmosphere of complete fear, making sure that only its false propaganda is heard while the voices of the oppressed are silenced.

The World’s Shameful Silence on India’s Crimes

One of the most shameful parts of this crisis is the complete silence of the international community. The APHC has directly urged the world to take “serious notice of India’s reckless conduct,” but major powers continue to look the other way, a failure that only encourages New Delhi’s dangerous actions.

◆ Choosing Money Over Human Lives: Western nations, eager to access India’s large market, have abandoned their moral responsibilities, choosing profits over principles and allowing India to commit terrible crimes without any consequences.

◆ A Total Failure to Follow International Law: By ignoring India’s obvious violations of UN Security Council resolutions on Kashmir, the global community is not only failing the Kashmiri people but is also undermining the very foundations of international law and order.

The Only Real Path to a Lasting Peace

The path of violence that India has chosen will only lead to more suffering. The only way to ensure lasting peace in South Asia is for India to end its stubbornness and, as urged by the APHC, accept the need for a just and peaceful solution to the Kashmir dispute.

◆ An Immediate End to the Iron-Fist Rule: India must immediately stop its brutal military occupation of Kashmir, release all political prisoners, and end its campaign of terror against the Kashmiri people.

◆ The Need for Sincere Dialogue with Kashmiris and Pakistan: A lasting peace can only be achieved by implementing the UN resolutions and starting a “sincere and result-oriented dialogue” with the Kashmiri leadership and Pakistan to resolve the dispute once and for all.

A Global Duty to Prevent a Terrible Conflict

The world faces a serious choice. It can either continue to ignore the warnings of Kashmiri leaders like Advocate Abdul Rashid Minhas and give in to an aggressive Indian government, or it can act strongly to support international law and prevent a terrible conflict. The choice it makes will affect the entire world.

◆ The Urgent Need to Hold India Accountable: The time for quiet talks is over. The international community must use sanctions and apply real pressure on the Modi government to force it to change its dangerous path and follow its international duties. ◆ The Peace of an Entire Region is in Danger: Failing to act now will be seen as giving India permission to continue its aggression, a mistake that could plunge a nuclear-armed region into a horrible war. The world must act
