Ex- CM Accuses Indian Army of Escalating Militancy in IIOJK
August 13, 2024National Conference President Farooq Abdullah, ex- Chief Minister Jammu and Kashmir, has accused the Indian Army of aggravating militancy in Indian-illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK). At a recent press conference, Abdullah accuses the Indian army for worsening the plight of innocent Kashmiris and violating their basic human rights.
He highlighted the deteriorating conditions in the region, noting an increase in drug trafficking alongside the ongoing conflict. Abdullah questioned the efficacy of the extensive military presence on the borders of Jammu and Kashmir, asking how terrorism continues to thrive if the army’s role was effective.
Abdullah also dismissed India’s previous claim of 600 Pakistani commandos being in the region, suggesting instead that the Indian Army itself is contributing to the unrest. He condemned what he described as “state terrorism” under the Modi government, accusing it of worsening the situation in the Kashmir valley.
His statements underscore a growing frustration with the current state of affairs in the region, reflecting grave concerns about human rights and military conduct.
