The All Parties Hurriyat Conference has categorically rejected all unilateral actions taken by the BJP-led Indian regime in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir since August 2019, terming them illegal and void in the context of the UN-recognized disputed status of the territory.

According to Kashmir Media Service, APHC Spokesman Advocate Abdul Rashid Minhas, in a statement issued in Srinagar, said that the abrogation of Articles 370 and 35A and changes to domicile laws were part of a systematic attempt by the Modi-led BJP-RSS regime to alter the Muslim-majority character of Jammu and Kashmir.

He urged the United Nations and the United States to intervene for a just resolution of the Kashmir dispute to ensure peace and stability in the territory.

A gathering of Indian and Kashmiri political leaders, civil society members, and former bureaucrats in New Delhi has called for the restoration of Jammu and Kashmir's special status.   

The meeting, held during the Indian Parliament's monsoon session, was organized by the Forum for Human Rights in Jammu and Kashmir.

The speakers described the 2019 decision as unconstitutional.

Separately, the Indian government has admitted that farmers in IIOJK are being forced to sell their produce below cost of production, pushing them deeper into poverty.

India's Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan made this admission in the Lok Sabha in response to a Question.
