Apprising the outgoing envoy about the situation in Indian Occupied Kashmir, the president said that the unilateral and illegal actions taken by the fascist Indian government violating the human rights of the people of Kashmir are a continuation of BJP’s hostile and restrictive attitude towards all its minorities as reflected in a 113 day long clamp-down in Kashmir,
President Arif Alvi urged the International Community to persuade India to abide by its responsibility to uphold the basic human rights of all its citizens.
