In Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) has condemned the upsurge in Indian forces cordon and search operations. 

In a statement in Srinagar, APHC said such repressive steps are designed to suppress the freedom sentiments of Kashmiris.

The statement said Indian military and police along with non-Kashmiri bureaucrats are undemocratically ruling Occupied Jammu and Kashmir while the people of occupied territory are being suppressed for raising their voice for their right to self-determination.

It said the use of brute military force has failed to dent the morale of Kashmiris and they are determined to continue their freedom struggle with valor and integrity.
