RAWALPINDI: The Central Working Committee of Azad Jammu and Kashmir Muslim Conference (AJKMC) today [Jan 6] expressed its grave concern over the arrests of freedom fighters and other atrocities in occupied Kashmir and asked the Pakistan Government to take effective steps on international level to frustrate the Indian conspiracy to turn the Muslim majority there into a minority.
