Srinagar: In Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Indian forces have raided the houses of Tehreek-e-Hurriyat leaders in Pulwama and Baramulla.

According to Radio Pakistan, Indian police raided and searched the house of jailed Tehreek-e-Hurriyat leader Bashir Ahmed Butt, who is currently lodged in Tihar Jail, New Delhi. Police also raided the house of another Tehreek-e-Hurriyat leader, Mohammad Ashraf Laya, in Baramulla.

During the house raids and search operations, the police reportedly ransacked households and asked the families to prevent Hurriyat activists from raising demands for the right to self-determination. Meanwhile, the All Parties Hurriyat Conference spokesman, Advocate Abdul Rashid Minhas, in a statement, has denounced these house raids and harassment across the occupied territory.

The spokesman emphasized that the BJP government and its regime in IIOJK cannot suppress the Kashmiris’ sentiments for freedom through harassment and intimidation.
