ISLAMABAD, Jan 8 (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 8th Jan, 2022 ) :A Kashmiri journalist in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), has been arrested by the police days after he posted a video of family members and relatives raising anti-India slogans after the martyrdom of their kin, during a cordon and search operation (CASO), in Srinagar.
