ISLAMABAD
\nThe All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) has said that the Narendra Modi-led Indian regime is systematically exploiting the natural resources of occupied Jammu and Kashmir, aiming to perpetuate the economic marginalization of the Kashmiri people.
\nAccording to Kashmir Media Service, in a statement issued in Srinagar, APHC spokesman Advocate Abdul Rashid Minhas maintained that the Modi government is implementing a multifaceted strategy to disempower Kashmiris politically, constitutionally, culturally, and economically. He noted that since the revocation of the territory\u2019s special status on August 5, 2019, this process has intensified.
\n\u201cIndia has been exploiting IIOJK\u2019s water, mineral, forest, and other resources since 1947, leading to the economic dependence of Kashmiris on the Indian state,\u201d Minhas stated. \u201cHowever, the Modi-led government has further exacerbated this trend by leasing electricity from Kishtwar\u2019s Ratle Power Project and restarting auctions of lithium reserves in Reasi.\u201d The APHC also expressed concerns over the outsourcing of contracts to exploit natural resources belonging to the people of IIOJK. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
