Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has condemned extrajudicial killings of Kashmiris in the Indian Illegally Occupied Kashmir (IIOJK).
The foreign minister tweeted that “Indian state-terrorism and brutal military siege cannot break the will of the Kashmiri people fighting for the right to self-determination.”
Qureshi wrote that Pakistan “strongly condemn unabated spate of extrajudicial killings of Kashmiris in IIOJK. Pakistan resolutely supports their just cause.”
