He further said that imposition of restrictions on prayers and religious festivities on one of the most important days of Islamic calendar represents complete disrespect to the Muslims of IOJK.

Moreover, he said it also represents deep-rooted Indian government’s prejudice for the sentiments of the Muslims of IIOJK.

The FO spokesman also noted it as a flagrant violation of their fundamental freedom of religion.

He urged the international community, the United Nations and other human rights and humanitarian organizations to take notice of brutal suppression of the religious rights and freedoms of the Kashmiri people in violation of international laws and conventions.

He said India must realize that by such measures, it cannot break the will of the Kashmiris.

Furthermore, he said India cannot suppress their aspirations for freedom from illegal Indian occupation.
