5th August 2019 will be remembered as the day the BJP/RSS government in clear defiance of international law annexed regions of Kashmir under the erroneous rule of ‘might is right’. The so - called largest democracy in the world, illegally annexed the entire Indian occupied part of Jammu Kashmir with a stroke of a pen, “simultaneously usurping the heritage, the identity, hard fought fundamental rights, and centuries old ethnic, cultural and religious harmony and tolerance amongst the sons and daughters of the soil”, says the Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF)

SUPREME COURT OF APPEAL (SCA) DISMISSES APPLICATION BY ML A S DESAI

Both positions are equally incorrect and serve only to further polarize an already divided ummah.
