He said demographic changes are taking place in the IIOJK and 4.1 million new domiciles have been issued to non Kashmiris brought from mainland India which is a violation of the Indian constitution.

He said that the Indian regime is implementing genocide tools and is not providing medical facilities to the freedom loving Kashmiris jailed. He said that Illegally occupational regime of India is violating the basic rights of freedom of speech and any Kashmiri who writes anything on digital media, is pushed behind bars under notorious UAPA laws.

He said while humanity is bleeding in the IIOJK, festivity, development and freedom are the order of the day.

He said all the political parties took part in the elections recently held in Azad Jammu and Kashmir. He said that recently Kashmir Premier League has been launched to help showcase the talent of the Kashmiri youth.

“We also issued a report after our first visit to Jammu and Kashmir and this is our follow up to view the updated situation in Jammu and Kashmir. It’s quite different visiting the Kashmiri areas and reading stories about the suffering of the people of Jammu and Kashmir,” he added.

Dr Haci Alo Aeikgul, another member of the IPHRC, briefed the Committee on the updates on the steps taken by the OIC delegation and said that India was neither cooperating nor India was allowing the delegation to visit Jammu and Kashmir.
