APHC condemns Modi regime for forcing IIOJK schools to play India’s anthem M Haris

SRINAGAR: The All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) has strongly condemned the Modi regime for forcing all schools in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir to play India’s anthem during morning assemblies.

According to Kashmir Media Service, APHC spokesman Adv Abdul Rashid Minhas in a statement in Srinagar termed the order as Indian terrorism unleashed by the BJP regime on educational institutions in occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

The BJP regime has ordered all schools in the occupied territory to play India’s anthem during morning assemblies, forcing Kashmiri Muslim students to abandon their religious and cultural heritage. This move aims to erase the territory’s Islamic identity and impose Hindutva ideology in the Muslim-majority IIOJK, APHC statement said.

The APHC also strongly condemned the behaviour of the BJP Indian government of keeping its leaders and thousands of Kashmiris, including women, under illegal detention for nearly the past seven years.

The statement urged the United Nations and other global organisations, working for education all over the world, to intervene and put pressure on India to take back its communal-based decision.
