Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan took to Twitter expressing disappointment at the international media coverage of the situation in Jammu and Kashmir right ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi-Chinese President Xi Jinping meet in Mamallapuram. Imran Khan tweeted, “I am puzzled as to how international media continues to give headline coverage to Hongkong protests but ignores the dire human rights crisis in IOJK – an internationally recognised disputed territory illegally annexed by India with 900k troops imposing a siege on 8mn Kashmiris” He added, “For over 2 months with a complete blackout of communications, thousands imprisoned,including entire spectrum of political leadership plus children, & a growing humanitarian crisis. In IOJK 100k Kashmiris have been killed over 30 yrs fighting for their right to self determination. Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti liked the tweet hence agreeing to what Imran Khan said about Kashmir situation. Mufti’s reaction was posted on her official Twitter handle by her daughter Iltija, who is managing it on behalf of her mother till her detention continues. The informal meetings are organised to maintain cordial relations with other countries and Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping’s meeting in Mamallapuram is also aimed at reconfiguring strained ties between the India and China due to Kashmir issue.
