In occupied Kashmir, the Chairman of All Parties Hurriyat Conference, Syed Ali Gilani, has urged people to completely boycott the fifth and final phase of the sham Indian Parliamentary elections and observe complete shutdown in the poll-bound areas on Monday.
In a statement issued in Srinagar today, he said that ruthless killings, unabated arrest spree, economic strangulation, vehicular restriction and enforced demographic changes through judicial onslaught are being carried out in occupied Kashmir by India.
He said a vast military exercise under the veil of elections is being forced on Kashmiris to strengthen India’s rule and hoodwink the world community about the prevailing situation in the occupied territory.
He urged the world community to come to the rescue of Kashmiris who are being victimized for their legitimate demand for right to self-determination and help resolve the Kashmir dispute in accordance with their aspirations.
Meanwhile, complete shutdown was observed in the two districts, today, to mourn the killing of three youth by Indian troops.
