In Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, complete shutdown will be observed on Wednesday against the brutal policies of the fascist Indian regime led by Narendra Modi to disempower Kashmiri people by evicting them from their lands and properties on one pretext or another.  

Call for the strike has been given by the All Parties Hurriyat Conference. The APHC spokesman in a statement in Srinagar said, Modi’s land grab policy is meant to erase Kashmiris’ identity and its Muslim character.

He said that India’s 5th August 2019 illegal actions are aimed at reviving the so-called pre-Islamic Hindu civilization by settling outsiders on the lands grabbed from the poor Kashmiris.

Posters have appeared in Srinagar and other parts of the territory urging people to make the strike a success.

On the other hand, National Conference leaders including Ali Muhammad Saghar, Mubarak Gul, Shameema Firdous and Salman Ali Saghar in a joint statement issued in Srinagar said that the despair of poor and the rightful landowners is deepening in the face of ongoing eviction cum demolition campaign conducted by the Indian authorities across the occupied territory.

Meanwhile, a Kashmiri youth who was brother of a Hurriyat activist was tortured to death during the custody of Indian army in Udhampur district of Jammu region.
