Masood Khan said that India is carrying out ethnic cleansing and committing war crimes in the Occupied Jammu and Kashmir in order to force the Kashmiri people leave their native homeland.
The AJK president said that all Indian actions including turning of Jammu and Kashmir State from the occupied territory into an Indian colony as well as bifurcation of the state are not only unlawful and immoral but these are also a violation of international laws and the United Nations resolutions.
