NEW YORK: The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) will hold a session today to discuss the dispute of the Indian occupied Kashmir (IoK).
As per sources, the ceasefire violations along the Line of Control (LoC) between Pakistan and India will also be discussed in the meeting.
Last year in December, another meeting of UNSC was held over the same issue but it was later delayed as France disagreed to attend the meeting to discuss the dispute of IoK.
Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi revoked the special status of the occupied valley in August 2019 and imposed a military curfew and communications blackout in the area.
Thousands of people, including the top political leadership of occupied Kashmir, as well as two former chief ministers and the mayor of capital Srinagar, were detained. International media also reported that the detainees had been tortured by the occupying Indian troops.
In this regard, Pakistan had also condemned the Indian move and asked New Delhi to immediately lift the restrictions in the valley, urging India to respect the right to self-determination of the people in Kashmir.
