The President of Azad Jammu & Kashmir Sardar Masood Khan has said that Indian authorities are paying money to extremist Hindutva groups and militias such as RSS in occupied Kashmir's Jammu areas to kill and maim local Muslim Kashmiris. In an interview here, the AJK President said that India is victimizing Muslims of Jammu region by using local militant organisations that are being funded heavily. "Mainly Gujjar Muslims live in Jammu and they are facing ethnic and religious cleansing at the hands of local armed Hinutva groups funded by Indian occupation authorities.
Gujjars are being targeted in the name of religion and it's very dangerous. Indian authorities have formed so-called village defence committees of militants. Arms, ammunition, and cash are given to militants to target local Muslims. The RSS is recruiting militants openly to target Kashmiris. It's offering rewards to those who will target Muslim youth. Those being victimized are ordinary people who have nothing to do with politics, it's just that they are Kashmiris and Muslims," he revealed.
Sardar Masood Khan said India has increased violation across the Line of Control, targeting civilians and their livelihood. He said that India used to mainly target Kashmiris across the LoC only but now its reign of terror has reached to Jammu where it's using Hindu militant groups. Sardar Masood Khan has been in the UK for a week and addressed audience at universities; attended events organised by an educational charity, met members of British parliament and addressed two events in the parliament besides various awareness events on Indian occupied Kashmir.
The President said that he spoke about the issue of Kashmir at these events and stressed that there will be no peace in South Asian region without the resolution of Kashmir dispute. "Peace in the region is linked with the issue of Kashmir. It's duty of the international community to end massacre of Kashmiris at the hands of India and put an end to state terrorism by India."
