Normal life remains paralyzed in IoK on 88th day

Normal life remains paralyzed in IoK on 88th day.

SRINAGAR (Web Desk): In occupied Kashmir, normal life remains disrupted in the Kashmir Valley and Muslim majority areas of Jammu region owing to the unprecedented military clampdown and almost total communications blackout, which entered 88th straight day on Thursday (today), Kashmir Media Service reported.

While landline and postpaid mobile phone services have been partially restored across the territory, all internet services and prepaid phone connectivity continue to remain suspended badly affecting people especially professionals, students, patients, doctors and media persons.

Restrictions under Section 144 are also in place. Public transport is off the roads and train service too remains suspended. Barring opening of shops for few morning hours, business activities continue to remain crippled. Offices and educational institutions witness very thin attendance. However, students are turning up to appear for the annual board examinations for class 10 and class 12 which began on Tuesday and Wednesday respectively.

On the other hand, in an event of far-reaching consequences, occupied Kashmir was officially split into two union territories at midnight Wednesday against the wishes of the people of the territory and in breach of international laws and India’s own constitution. Indian Administrative Service Officers, Girish Chandra Murmu and RK Mathur, who have been appointed the new Lieutenant Governors for the union territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh respectively, will be sworn in at separate functions in Srinagar and Leh today by the Chief Justice of the High Court of occupied Kashmir, Gita Mittal.

The Communist Party of India Marxist (CPI-M) in a statement issued in New Delhi termed as shameful the decision to formally declare separation of Ladakh from Jammu and Kashmir with effect from today. It said that the territory was divided without taking the opinion of its citizens and reiterated its strong opposition to the abrogation of Article 370.

Modi govt all set to carry out Gujarat-style genocide in IoK

Narendra Modi-led communal government is all set to implement its plan of Gujarat-like mass killings in the territory after it officially divided Jammu and Kashmir into two union territories.

The special status of the occupied territory under Articles 370 and 35A was revoked by the Modi government on the 5th of August. Eight million people of the Kashmir valley and the Muslim majority areas of Jammu region are under military siege since that day.

The appointment of Indian Administrative Service officer, Girish Chandra Murmu, as the first Lieutenant-Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, is part of Modi’s nefarious plan. Murmu was Principal Secretary to Narendra Modi when mass killing of Muslims was carried out in Gujarat in 2002 during his tenure as chief minister. He has now been clandestinely given the task to execute the massacre in occupied Kashmir.

Murmu has long remained a close aide of fascist Modi and his right hand Amit Shah. He was also involved in Ishrat Jahan fake encounter in Gujarat.

Informed sources in Srinagar said, Narendra Modi, Amit Shah and Aji Doval have added one more criminal in Girish Chandra Murmu in their gang of killers in occupied Kashmir. However, the appointing of criminals like Murmu as Jammu and Kashmir Lt Governor will not deter Kashmiris from pursuing freedom struggle.
