The president of Pakistan-administered Kashmir has accused the international community of “doing nothing to reduce the suffering of the Kashmiri people” amid the recent crisis in the disputed region, Anadolu Agency reports.
Addressing a national conference Tuesday on the Kashmir crisis in Islamabad, Pakistan's capital, Sardar Masood Khan said the situation in Jammu and Kashmir is growing worse by the day.
"Today people in occupied Kashmir are being tortured, killed, incarcerated and deprived of their basic rights while the international community is not mobilized and doing nothing to reduce the suffering of the people of the occupied valley," said Khan of Azad Kashmir.
In August, India removed all special provisions granted to Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370 of the Indian Constitution.
It also divided the onetime province into two centrally administered "union territories" and took away powers from its assembly.
