"Modi government has unleashed a reign of terror in IIOJK since 5 August 2019 by using its occupational forces," they said and appealed the global community to intervene and stop the bloodbath in Kashmir.

"India is hell-bent on eliminating the very existence of Muslims in IIOJK for demanding their right to self-determination," they said.
