The Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee has condemned Indian atrocities in occupied Kashmir.

In a statement issued from Nankana Sahib, the committee urged the United Nations (UN) to play its due role in granting Kashmiris their right to self-determination, Radio Pakistan reported on Sunday.

Kashmiris' freedom struggle will soon reap fruit and India cannot suppress their movement through use of power, it added.

The committee said freedom is the fundamental right of the followers of every religion, adding those struggling for their rights were not terrorists.

The disputed region has suffered its deadliest violence in the last six years — with at least 90 people killed in street protests triggered by the extrajudicial killing of a popular separatist leader, Burhan Wani, by Indian forces in July.
