MIRPUR  ( AJK): Aug. 4  ( APP): Urging Kashmiri masses to observe 5th August as exploitation day, the Jammu Kashmir National Front (JKNF) has said that the day marks the onset of India’s settler colonial project that seeks to control, by all means, Kashmir, its population and resources.

In a statement issued here Sunday, the JKNF vice chairman  Altaf  Hussain  Wani , while castigating the BJP government for its aggressive designs in the region, said that 5th August move was an atrocious assault on Kashmiris’ national identity.

The contentious move, he said, had pushed the state into a quagmire of uncertainty, lawlessness and perpetual violence that continue to wreak havoc on the region.

Terming it as yet another step in India’s history of colonizing Kashmir the National Front leader said that the colonization of Kashmir has since long been a dream project of the BJP and other Hindu supremacist groups who believe in Savarkar’s Hindutva ideology.

Wani urged the Kashmiri masses to observe a complete shutdown on the day to convey the world that Kashmiris neither accept India’s illegal occupation of their mother land nor do they accept unilateral decisions the Indian government has taken on and after 5th August 2019.

Condemning in strong terms the India’s policies of oppression and suppression to subdue Kashmiris, the National Front leader said that the fascist regime has turned Kashmir into an open-air prison where people were forced to live in a state of heightened fear of being killed, harassed and humiliated.

He, however, maintained that despite using all possible means of oppression India has miserably failed to suppress Kashmiris’ urge and their passion for freedom.

He said that day was not far when the Kashmiri people’s legitimate struggle for right to self-determination would reach to fruition.
