In Occupied Kashmir, APHC leader and Chairman of Jammu and Kashmir Tehreek-e-Muzahamat, Bilal Ahmed Siddiqui, says India has created an atmosphere of fear in the territory to prevent people from expressing their aspirations and sentiments.

In a statement in Srinagar, he said Indian troops barge into the residential houses, harass the inmates and ransack household goods.

He said since August 5, last year, there has been complete ban on political activities in the territory.
