President Arif Alvi has said that suppressing the people of occupied Kashmir is the "dirty" priority of the Indian government.

Tweeting a picture showing the number of medical facilities available for the people of the occupied valley, in relation to the outbreak of Covid-19, the president said: "Their soldiers have carried out this primary task through heinous brutalisation, torture and suppression. With more than 95K innocent [people] killed since 1989 these numbers shout out to the world."

Last month, Pakistan had called on India to lift the communication blockade imposed in occupied Kashmir and ensure supplies of essential commodities in the valley to contain the spread of Covid-19 and mitigate the suffering of the Kashmiris.
