PM condemns 'new cycle of killings' of Kashmiris by Indian forces

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Monday strongly condemned the new cycle of killings of innocent Kashmiris by Indian security forces in occupied Kashmir.

“It is time India realised it must move to resolve the Kashmir dispute through dialogue in accordance with the UN SC resolutions and the wishes of the Kashmiri people,” the premier tweeted.

Nine Kashmiris were martyred on Sunday and at least 50 others were wounded in clashes with Indian forces in Kulgam district of occupied Kashmir.

A strike is being observed in the occupied valley today against the atrocities of the Indian forces. Schools, stores and business are closed in occupied Kashmir as the Joint Resistance Leadership comprising Syed Ali Gilani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Muhammad Yasin Malik called for a complete shutdown.

Mobile telephone services were suspended in the area as protests spread, including to Srinagar where police used tear gas to disperse crowds.
