MUZAFFARABAD: Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) President Sardar Masood Khan on Tuesday warned that India’s move to abrogate Article 370 will certainly invite a severe backlash from Kashmiris, ARY News reported.
Addressing a special cabinet meeting of AJK, Masood Khan urged the United Nations Security Council and the international community to take notice of Indian atrocities in occupied Kashmir.
He said that the Indian government turned entire occupied Kashmir into a prison and cut off the valley from rest of the world. He maintained that Kashmiris were not alone in their just struggle for self determination.
The president said, “India has illegally tried to change the disputed status of occupied Kashmir.” He said India had blocked all kind of communication sources and cordoned off the valley by deploying additional 38,000 troops there.
