On the other hand, two pro-India political parties, National Conference and Peoples Democratic Party also slammed the government’s move to implement property tax in the territory.

In their separate statements, the parties said the tax overburdened the people already in crisis.

Terming the move as grave injustice, the parties said instead of imparting fiscal help and other supportive measures, the Indian government wants to suck the life and blood of Kashmiri people.

On Saturday, four more Kashmiri youth embraced martyrdom in Kulgam and Pulwama districts.
