MUZAFFARABAD: Expressing deep concern over the Indian atrocities in occupied Kashmir, Azad Jammu and Kashmir President Masood Khan on Tuesday urged the United Nations to take practical steps to halt the massacre of Kashmiris in the held valley. He said that Kashmir Solidarity Day has become an international movement against the Indian forces. The president said that the Indian troops, during curfew, were killing Muslim youth in occupied Kashmir, adding that the Indian army chief had confirmed that the troops were also involved in kidnapping people in the held valley. Underscoring the need of a corridor for the oppressed Kashmiris in occupied Kashmir, Masood Khan said that in principle, UN is responsible to stop massacre of Kashmiris. Last year on December 6, the Azad Jammu and Kashmir cabinet had appealed the United Nations and other international human rights organizations to take notice of humanitarian crisis and war crimes in occupied Kashmir.
