India seeks to further muzzle Kashmiri voices with new round of raids-Ghulam Nabi Fai

We condemn the Indian government’s continued Hindutva fascist assault on the disputed region of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K). The Modi government seems to be bent on suppressing the voices of Kashmiris and anyone else who raises a finger against its settler-colonial agenda and blatant human rights abuses in the region. In recent days, India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA) has carried out surprise raids in Jammu & Kashmir and across India on the business offices of various non governmental organizations (NGOs) and media outlets, as well as the offices and residences of human rights activists, political opponents, and journalists. These raids by NIA have now become the Bharatiya Janata Party government’s favored tools, used to investigate the alleged use of funds collected for secessionist and separatist activities.
