The president lamented that India has imposed ban on communications and internet in the occupied territory to hide its crimes.
He condemned the use of pellet guns saying these blinded innocent children and women. India is making attempts to change the demographic structure by deploying nine hundred thousand troops and introducing controversial legislation. He, however, said despite all these tactics, the Kashmiri people stand firm in their struggle to get freedom from the cruel Indian clutches.
He demanded that India allow the international media to visit the illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir to see the ground situation. In addition, action should be taken in the light of the UN Human Rights Commissioner report on Kashmir.
