Srinagar, Indian-occupied Kashmir – The recent violent attack on tourists at the picturesque Pahalgam resort in Indian-occupied Kashmir has sparked outrage and condemnation from various groups, shedding light on the ongoing tensions in the region. Sikh for Justice (SFJ) and the All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) have pointed fingers at the Modi-led Indian government and intelligence agencies, alleging their involvement in orchestrating the tragic incident.
SFJ, in a strongly worded statement, accused Indian intelligence agency RAW and the Modi administration of being behind the attack on Hindu tourists in Pahalgam. SFJ leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannun labeled the attack as a “false flag operation” orchestrated to tarnish the Kashmiri freedom movement and divert global attention. He raised concerns about the motives behind such attacks, questioning whether the killings of Hindus would lead to Kashmir’s freedom or simply benefit the Modi regime.
The APHC also expressed deep dismay over the attack, condemning it as “inhuman and despicable.” They urged for an impartial and independent investigation into the incident, emphasizing the need to hold the responsible parties accountable. Hurriyat leaders extended their sympathies to the families of the victims and called for justice for those affected by the violence.
Noting a pattern of violent incidents coinciding with visits by American officials, the Hurriyat Conference highlighted what they perceived as a deliberate attempt by the Indian establishment to undermine the Kashmiri liberation struggle. They referenced past incidents, such as the Chattisinghpora massacre, as evidence of the Indian army’s involvement in such operations, painting the Pahalgam attack as part of a larger agenda to suppress the aspirations of the Kashmiri people.
Despite facing adversity, the Hurriyat Conference reiterated the unwavering commitment of the Kashmiri people to pursue their peaceful struggle for self-determination. The group vowed to continue advocating for their rights on the international stage, emphasizing the need for support and solidarity in their quest for justice and autonomy.
As the region grapples with the aftermath of the violent attack, calls for transparency, accountability, and justice echo across Kashmir, underscoring the complexities and challenges faced by those seeking a resolution to the longstanding conflict. Through their unified stance, SFJ and APHC shed light on the ongoing struggles and injustices in Indian-occupied Kashmir, urging the international community to take notice and stand in solidarity with the oppressed.
