Washington DC: President Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJK), Sardar Masood Ahmed Khan has urged the international community to influence upon Indian occupation forces to cease violence and bloodshed in Indian Occupied Jammu & Kashmir.
AJK president made these remarks while addressing a gathering of Pakistani American community at the Pakistan Embassy, Washington D.C. He said the world must strongly condemn the brutalities perpetrated by Indian security forces in the Kashmir valley. “The voice of the Kashmiri people would never be suppressed as the next generation of Kashmiris have taken it upon themselves to secure their freedom from Indian oppression”, the president said.
