She added that ‘the continuing curfew and lockdown in occupied Kashmir is exacerbating the suffering of the Kashmiri people. UN should live up to its obligations on IOK.’
Lodhi briefed the UNGA president in detail about the human rights violations being perpetrated in the occupied territory, where the curfew and communications blackout entered its 23rd day on Tuesday.
Since 5th August, Indian troops have continued their suppression on occupied Kashmir, when the Modi government revoked occupied Kashmir’s special status.
