\nIslamabad: 08 August 2024 – The Centre for Aerospace & Security Studies (CASS), Islamabad, conducted a special session under its Catalyst Conversation Series on \u2018Chinars in Chains: India\u2019s Siege of Jammu and Kashmir\u2019 with Mr Altaf Hussain Wani, Chairman, Kashmir Institute of International Relations, to discuss the current situation in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).<\/h5>\n
Air Marshal Farooq Habib (<\/strong>Retd), Senior Director at CASS, set the stage for the discussion and highlighted that the full integration of IIOJK into the Indian Union has been a central element of the BJP and RSS\u2019s Hindutva agenda. He noted that abrogation of Articles 370 and 35A on 5th August 2019 by the Modi government were followed by severe security measures including curfews and communication blackouts in the disputed territory.<\/h5>\n
Air Marshal Habib also observed that the Indian Supreme Court supported the government\u2019s actions, which included the enactment of laws aimed at changing the region\u2019s demographics by allowing an influx of non-Kashmiris. He shared that five years on, the Muslim majority in IIOJK continues to face marginalisation and repression, with the international community largely remaining silent on these issues.<\/h5>\n
