The Indian government had revoked the constitutional autonomy of Iok since August, in this regard Imran Khan posted, “For over 2 months with a complete blackout of communications, thousands imprisoned, including the entire spectrum of political leadership plus children, & a growing humanitarian crisis. In IOJK 100k Kashmiris have been killed over 30 yrs fighting for their right to self-determination.”
