Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi says the coronavirus lockdowns are making the world realise what restrictions on Kashmiris' fundamental freedoms would feel like.
"Today the world is realising what a lockdown feels like. Now think about Kashmiris who have been under this lockdown and siege for nearly a year," he said in the Senate.
Kashmiris' fundamental freedoms such as right to life, right to food, right to assembly and right to expression are all unavailable since India revoked the region's semi-autonomous status last year, Qureshi noted.
