Demographic changes in IIOJK can push region to war: Masood
[DAILYTIMES.PK] The Azad Jammu and Kashmir
...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
 (AJK) President Sardar Masood Khan has warned that brazen demographic change by India in the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK)
Ooooh, he’s upping the ante from the merely bombastic Indian Occupied Kashmir that sufficed until today...
is creating tensions that could push the region to a disastrous war.He came up with the warning while addressing a virtual conference on "BJP’s Demographic Re-branding of IOJK: A critical Review Under Contemporary International Law" which was organized by the Islamabad Institute of Conflict Resolution (IICR) here on Friday.

The conference was also addressed by Security Analyst, Lt General (retd) Amjad Shoaib, Professor Dr Mushtaq Ahmed, Professor Department of Law, International Islamic University, Islamabad, Mr Nasir Qadri, Human Rights Lawyer in IIOJK and Ms Sabah Aslam, Executive Director IICR.

In his address, the AJK president said that what India is doing in Occupied Jammu and Kashmir is not just rebranding but a complete transformation of the demography and this demographic change is unprecedented in the 21st century.

He maintained that since the New Domicile Rules were adopted in April last year, more than 3.2 million Indian citizens have been issued domicile certificates in the disputed Jammu and Kashmir state, and this has been confirmed by Indian Minister for Home Affairs G Kishan Reddy the other day.

"These demographic changes prepare the ground for settlements on the pattern of the Israeli settlements on Paleostine land," he said adding that massive investment is being diverted to entrepreneurs to make them a part of this settlement process. He said special colonies have been established in IOJK for army personnel, pundits and former Indian civil servants.
