The Foreign Office (FO) Thursday said the lowest voter turnout in Indian-held Kashmir (IHK) indicates ‘frustration’ among the people of the occupied valley.
“It clearly indicates that Kashmiris are not happy with India,” FO spokesperson Dr Faisal said, adding that the UK parliament and United Nations Human Rights Council have also endorsed reports regarding violation of rights by the occupation forces in the valley. He urged the international community to come forward for a just solution of the Kashmir issue according to the expectations of the Kashmiri people.
It is pertinent to mention here that scores of Kashmiris have been martyred in the recent wave of Indian state terrorism in the occupied valley. The death toll has jumped to 22 in the recent days as occupied forces killed two more people in Kulgam town of the held Kashmir on November 27.
