Taking to his Twitter handle, the premier wrote: “Modi’s fascist policies of oppression and violence have failed to crush the spirit of the Kashmiri resistance in IoK.”

Pakistan stands united with our Kashmiri brothers & sisters and committed to their legitimate struggle for self-determination. Modi’s fascist policies of oppression & violence have failed to crush the spirit of the Kashmiri resistance in IIOJK.

President Dr Arif Alvi said India was continuing to “brutalise” IoK and also trying to change its demography. “I remind the world to wake up and fulfil its promise of protecting Kashmiri human & political rights,” the president said in a tweet.

IIOJK is being brutalised under Indian occupation by fascist Modi regime, now also trying to change demography thru criminal means. Pakistan will continue to support Kashmir cause. I remind the world to wake up & fulfil its promise of protecting Kashmiri human & political rights.

No matter what our political differences, today we come together to extend our unwavering support to Kashmiris. Their struggle for freedom in face of a brutal Hindutva-inspired regime remains legendary. History tells us that people with conviction always defeat their oppressors.
