Earlier in the day,Prime Minister Imran Khan had doubled down on Islamabad's continued political, moral and diplomatic support for Kashmiris.

The premier said that New Delhi's action on August 5 would pave the way for the independence of occupied Himalayan valley.

While addressing the Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Legislative Assembly in Muzaffarabad, PM Imran said that if the Indian prime minister had not annexed the region he would not have been exposed.

The premier added that the world was silent when it came to the Kashmir issue, however, Modi's mistake of annexing the disputing Himalayan region has cast the spotlight on Indian atrocities
