Islamabad: Pakistan Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi has accused India of launching a “brutal crackdown” in Kashmir. Abbasi’s statement late last night came after Indian security forces on Sunday killed 13 militants in three encounters that also claimed the lives of four civilians and three Army jawans in Anantnag and Shopian districts of Jammu and Kashmir. “The brutal crackdown, including the despicable use of pellet guns on civilians who were protesting against the killing is deplorable,” Abbasi said.
He also asked the international community to urge India to allow access to fact finding missions of the UN to Kashmir.
‘The cabinet of Pakistan declared that 6 April 2018 be observed as Kashmir Solidarity Day in support of our Kashmiris brothers and sisters’.
