In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Peoples Democratic Party and National Panthers Party staged separate protest demonstrations demanding repeal of the new land laws which have paved the way for non-Kashmiris to buy land in the territory.

PDP activists, led by General Secretary, Surinder Choudhary, held a rally at Gandhi Nagar to lodge their resentment against the BJP-led Indian government over the new law.

National Panthers Party patron Prof Bhim Singh said he will knock at the doors of International Court of Justice, if the Supreme Court of India turns down his plea over the new land laws in IIOJK.

In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the Jammu and Kashmir Peoples League (JKPL) has supported the strike call given by Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and other Hurriyat leaders.

Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, Professor Abdul Ghani Butt, Bilal Ghani Lone and Masroor Abbas Ansari have called for complete shutdown on Saturday against Modi government’s nefarious designs to alter the demographic composition of the territory.

The JKPL Chief Organisar, Dr Sarfaraz Ahmed Khan, and Coordinator, Shaikh Nazir Ahmed, in a joint statement issued in Srinagar appealed to the international community to put pressure on India to respect the commitments made by its leaders with the people of Jammu and Kashmir both inside and outside the Indian Parliament and at the international forums.

They also said that peace in South Asia would remain a distant dream without the resolution of the Kashmir dispute.
