“After revoking IOK’s special status as granted in the Indian Constitution, the Indian army has besieged the whole valley and imposed a curfew from last 55 days, which has caused a shortage of medicines and food,” said Langove.
He also said Pakistan would continue highlighting the Kashmir issue at every international forum in order to expose Indian brutalities against Kashmiri people. The minister vowed to continue moral, political and diplomatic support for Kashmiris.
“The UN and the world community should play their part for granting Kashmiri people the right to self-determination because they have the right to take their own decisions,” said Langove.

The minister also urged the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to extend their support for millions of Kashmiri Muslims.
