In a series of tweets, she said the stance of a permanent member state of the UN Security Council is the manifestation of solidarity with the people of occupied Jammu and Kashmir and it depicts great friendship of the ‘Iron Brothers’. She thanked the Chinese leadership and public for strong support to oppressed people of held Kashmir.
The curfew in occupied Kashmir has entered its 68th consecutive day as people living in the restive region continue to face severe hardships due to the crippling clampdown and communication blockade.
The valley faces an acute shortage of essential commodities including food and medicines due restrictions and shutdown, creating hardship for local people to know about their families and relatives living within the territory as most communication networks have been disconnected and public transport is unavailable.
