He urged New Delhi to immediately lift curfew and give the right to live to the people of occupied Kashmir where children are unable to go to their schools and patients are deprived of medical facilities.

Facts about the real situation in the held valley are not coming out due to communications blackout there, Qureshi stressed while appreciating the role of international media and international human rights organizations in highlighting the Kashmir issue.
