Kashmir issue highlighted
He said the journalists highlighted Kashmir issue internationally and also mentioned India’s atrocities all over the world.
He said that India targeted mosques, innocent children and women while the Pak army hit enemy’s defence installations.
He said if Kashmiris are not given their right to self-determination, the peace of the world would remain at risk.
