FO says India has intensified military siege of IIOJK“It is deplorable that in the past few days, the Indian occupation forces have further intensified the military siege already in place in the occupied territory for more than seven decades. Coercing innocent Kashmiris to hoist Indian flags on the Republic Day is typical of India's high-handedness to project a false sense of ‘normalcy’ and a hopeless attempt at masking its systematic and widespread oppression,” he added.
