They burned and bulldozed numerous houses.

This came when the world’s attention is focused on the worst public health and economic crises of our times because of COVID-19.

Not a secessionist movement

“We must mention here that, by no stretch of the imagination, can the situation in Kashmir be treated as India’s internal matter, as India alleges.”

He further cited Kashmir recognized as disputed territory under international law.

Hence, he said the United Nations bears the responsibility of preventing the massive violations of human rights which the Indian occupation regime is committing.

The Kashmiri leader noted Kashmir dispute not a territorial dispute between India and Pakistan.
