ISLAMABAD: Gilgit-Baltistan Governor and Federal Minister for Kashmir Affairs and GB Chaudhry Muhammad Barjees Tahir said on Sunday that India had crossed all limits in oppressing people of held Kashmir.

Talking to journalists here, he said India was trying to suppress the freedom movement in Kashmir with brutal methods.

Waving Pakistani flags in India-held Kashmir and raising slogans such as `Kashmir Bannay Ga Pakistan’ made it clear that India could no longer forcibly keep Kashmir under its control, the minister said.

India, he said, was putting Hurriyat leaders behind bars and killing youths to suppress the freedom struggle, but it would fail in its attempt and Kashmir would soon be free from Indian occupation.
