Interacting with them, the prime minister appreciated “the continued active interest” of the US Congress, including the two senators, in the volatile situation in India-occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
The prime minister said the ongoing lockdown in the occupied territory for over two months, refusal of Indian authorities to lift the curfew, and acute shortage of basic necessities, including medicine and food, were grave violations of the fundamental human rights and international humanitarian law.
