Apart from massive human rights violations by Indian security forces, the occupied State has been in a state of constant siege and surveillance since August 5, 2019. The Kashmiri freedom leadership is still in jails or under house arrest while the masses face the situation of an open prison in extremely cold winter where there is a freezing temperature in the Valley. Thousands of Kashmiris have been killed, detained, tortured, and injured since August 5, 2019. Besides, thousands of Kashmiri youths are still in Indian prisons outside the state boundaries in various parts of India. Indeed, the abrogation of Articles 370 and 35-A was meant to rehabilitate the Non-Kashmiri Hindus in IIOJK, especially in the Valley of Kashmir. In this regard, Hindu nationalist paramilitary volunteers of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Youth wing of Bajrang Dal (BD) the religious Hindu militant organization of the Vishva Hindu Parishad are stationed in various parts of IIOJK to terrorize Kashmiri masses and help the settlement of non-Kashmiri Hindu from all over India. These terrorists have been found in killing the Kashmiri youth, torching the houses, and raping the women folk of Kashmir. These terrorist groups have been given total impunity by the Indian State and Government. Prolonging the siege in IIOJK basically aims at enabling the settlement of non-Kashmiri Hindus in the Valley area of IIOJK. Indian Army and paramilitary forces are still continuing with their brutalities in IIOJK by taking cover of discriminatory and inhuman laws, India especially imposed ever since the 1990s.
The only way forward for peace in this nuclearized region is the resolution of the Kashmir dispute as per the wishes of Kashmiris. As a prelude to this resolution, India must restore the special status of IIOJK as it was before 05 August 2019.
