In a video message on 25th memorial anniversary of Srebrenica genocide on July 11, the premier had expressed fear that a massacre akin to Srebrenica may happen in Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IOJ&K).
He regretted that 8,000 Indian troops have besieged eight million people of Kashmir. “It is important for us to learn a lesson from Srebrenica massacre and the world community must never allow such things to happen again.”
