Srinagar: In occupied Kashmir, Hurriyet leaders and organizations have denounced the decision of the PDP-BJP regime to provide domicile certificates to non-local Hindu refugees and the verdict of Indian Supreme Court about extension of Indian State Bank related Act to the occupied territory.

They demanded immediate suspension of issuance of domiciles to non-locals and Supreme Court’s order affecting the separate identity status of Jammu and Kashmir.
