All Parties Hurriyat Conference has urged the United Nations to play its role in resolving the Kashmir dispute in line with its own resolutions.

APHC spokesman Advocate Abdul Rashid Minhas, in a statement in Srinagar, said that so-called civil defence air raid and blackout mock drills being conducted in several districts across Indian Illegally Occupied Kashmir have triggered renewed fear among residents already living under heavy militarization.

He said that the people of the territory are subjected to continuous psychological pressure, arrests, mass surveillance, land confiscation, and demographic changes under the BJP-led Hindutva regime.

The APHC strongly criticized the proposed creation of separate colonies of Kashmiri Pandits and non-locals, saying that such actions are aimed at altering the demographic composition of the Muslim-majority territory.

It said the people of Kashmir would firmly resist all such measures and would not allow any attempt to change the identity of the territory.

The APHC reiterated that durable peace in South Asia is directly linked to the resolution of the Kashmir dispute in accordance with the wishes and aspirations of the Kashmiri people.

The APHC said the people of Kashmir are not opposed to dialogue, but stressed that any meaningful peace process must be based on the genuine aspirations of the Kashmiri people and aimed at resolving the long-standing dispute in a just and lasting manner.
