India Uses “Security” Claims to Target Foreign Visitors and Hide Harsh Reality in IIOJK

India’s latest actions in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) again show how the Modi government uses false security claims to hide the real situation in the region. The detention of a Chinese visitor, Hu Co, has been turned into a full campaign to question foreign tourists and pressure small local businesses. These steps clearly show that India wants to block outsiders from seeing the heavy control, rights violations and daily fear that people in IIOJK face. Instead of improving conditions, India continues to tighten its hold and spread fear among both visitors and residents.

India targets tourists to hide the truth

♦ Detention used as excuse: India used the case of Hu Co to start strict checks on tourists.
♦ False security claims: India uses weak excuses to control movement in IIOJK.
♦ Hiding ground reality: These actions help India stop outsiders from seeing rights abuses.

India’s treatment of the Chinese visitor exposes misuse of power

According to Kashmir Media Service, Indian police questioned Hu Co for a second day and claimed he violated visa rules. The so called doubt came only because he searched online about Article 370, which any traveller might read about. His phone was sent for forensic testing even though there was no real reason for suspicion. This shows how India treats visitors from countries it considers unfriendly. The aim is not security but to create false stories of danger so India can justify its harsh control over the occupied territory.

False suspicion created by India

♦ Simple search treated as threat: India called an online search suspicious.
♦ Phone taken without reason: His phone was sent for testing even though no crime was done.
♦ Bias against certain countries: Travellers from China and Iran face more pressure.

Crackdown on homestays and small tourism businesses

Indian police have now started checking low budget homestays, guest houses and tourist lodges across Srinagar. These small businesses depend heavily on foreign visitors, and the sudden police visits have created fear among owners. Police teams are checking Form C, guest lists and registration papers in an aggressive manner. Locals say the purpose is to scare businesses and stop foreigners from coming. Many believe this is a planned move to hide the heavy militarisation and harsh rule that India does not want the world to see.

Damage to local economy

♦ Tourism harmed: Foreign visitors may avoid the region due to police pressure.
♦ Owners scared: Business owners fear losing their only source of income.
♦ Fear used as tool: India uses pressure to stop foreigners from seeing rights abuses.

India trying to stop international attention

Tourism operators say that India wants to block foreigners who might expose the severe pressure and abuse faced by people in IIOJK. Houseboat owners and homestay operators are already struggling due to tight restrictions, and these new checks have made their situation worse. Observers say this is part of a long term plan. India creates false stories about travellers from China, Iran and other countries to show them as threats, while the real target is Kashmiris who want the world to know the truth about occupation. This narrative helps India justify more surveillance and more police control.

India builds false stories

♦ Fake threat narrative: India creates danger stories without evidence.
♦ Surveillance justified: These stories help India increase police control.
♦ Foreign observers blocked: Outsiders cannot see the real situation on the ground.

A bigger plan to seal off IIOJK from the world

Human rights observers say the harassment of Hu Co is not an isolated event. It is part of India’s ongoing plan to isolate the occupied territory from the world. The crackdown on guest houses, houseboats and small tourism services shows how India wants full control over both residents and visitors. India continues to stop journalists, human rights workers and now tourists from entering or moving freely. These actions expose India’s real intention: to prevent any independent voice from reporting on the pain and suffering of people in IIOJK.

India tightens grip on occupied territory

♦ Foreigners watched closely: Visitors are treated like suspects without reason.
♦ Residents pressured daily: Locals fear losing income and freedom.
♦ Reality hidden: India blocks the world from seeing the truth about occupation.

India uses security excuses to hide its harsh rule

India’s treatment of the Chinese visitor and the pressure on small tourism businesses clearly show how the Modi government misuses security claims to hide its actions in IIOJK. These steps aim to defame countries India sees as hostile and to create a false picture of foreign danger. In reality, India wants to stop outsiders from seeing the militarisation, rights abuses and suffocating environment created by Indian forces. By targeting both visitors and locals, India is trying to lock down the entire occupied territory. The international community must speak out and demand accountability before India tightens its grip even further. The people of IIOJK deserve truth, justice and freedom.
