In a series of tweet on Thursday, the prime minister said that the daily injuring and killing of Kashmiri civilians, including women and children, is all part of the ethnic cleansing agenda of the Modi government and it is illegal annexation of IOK. “The plan to change demography of IOK is a war crime under 4th Geneva Convention,” he said. Prime Minister Imran Khan said that Pakistani must send a strong message to Kashmiris that the nation stands resolutely behind them. “So I am asking all Pakistanis for half an hour tomorrow stop whatever you are doing and come out on the road to show solidarity with the Kashmiri people,” he urged. On August 5, India’s Modi-led government abrogated Article 370 of the Indian constitution that granted occupied Kashmir special status. The government instituted a security lockdown and communications blackout to avoid violence. The clampdown is now on its 25th day.
