Imran Khan apprised the delegation of the dire human rights and humanitarian conditions in IOJ&K in the aftermath of India’s illegal and unilateral actions of August 5, 2019. He underlined that 8 million Kashmiris were under a military siege for the past six months, with all their rights and freedoms taken away from them.
The prime minister also highlighted the threat to peace and security posed by the Indian leadership’s belligerent rhetoric and aggressive actions on the ground. He further underlined that the RSS-inspired BJP government’s Hindutva ideology was squeezing the Kashmiris in IOJ&K on the one hand and constricting the space for India’s minorities on the other hand.
