Indian brutality: Islamabad tugs at world conscience
Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi tugged at world conscious over the unabated massacre of innocent Kashmiris in the occupied territory. "The world cannot remain so apathetic and detached regarding the Indian atrocities,” said Qureshi in a press conference on Sunday.
“The Indian soldiers have a free hand to commit mass murder. First they used to resort to aerial firing to disperse protesters, but now they are shooting straight.”
