Prime Minister Imran Khan on Friday said his Indian counterpart, Narendra Modi, is fearful of the bloodbath that will follow in Indian Occupied Kashmir once the draconian curfew is lifted in the occupied valley.

The premier took to social media - on Kashmir Day - to remind the people that Friday marks 75 days since New Delhi's illegal annexation of the disputed region.

Referring to the situation in the occupied region as "the worst violation of human rights", the premier also noted that Modi's use of more than 900,000 armed security personnel is meant to silence and terrorise Kashmiris and not "fight terrorism".
