NEW DELHI - Indian civil rights activists including, Shabnam Hashmi and Revati Laul addressing a news conference at Press Club of India in New Delhi urged the Indian government to restore Articles 370 and 35A as well as mobile and internet services, remove the restrictions on the movement of people in the Kashmir Valley and take steps to bring back normalcy in the territory.
They said, abrogation of Article 370 is a mindless exercise carried out by the BJP-led government.
Kannan Gopinathan, the IAS officer, who resigned in protest against human rights violations in occupied Kashmir, addressing a conference in Thrissur city in Indian state of Kerala said that denial of human rights to the Kashmiri people and exclusion of a group of people in Assam in the name of Citizenship Amendment Bill is against Constitution.
A. Marx, a human rights activist from Tamil Nadu, in his address to the conference said what is happening in Kashmir and Assam now will be repeated soon in Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
In London, an event was organized at the Pakistani High Commission to remember the Kashmiri girl victims of Indian atrocities.
Exclusive photos of the Kashmiri girl victims as documented by various international institutions and human rights organisations displayed on the occasion helped visitors understand the gravity and magnitude of the human rights violations being perpetrated by Indian troops in occupied Kashmir.
