(Web Desk) – Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has apprised his Canadian Counterpart Ms Chrystia Freeland about the sufferings of people in occupied Kashmir under Modi-led Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) government.
Qureshi held a telephonic conversation with Freeland and briefed her about the unilateral and illegal moves of India, including suspension of mobile and internet services, imposition of curfew, human rights violations and blockade of the entire occupied Kashmir.
