Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar has said that India has turned paradise occupied Kashmir valley into a hell for the Kashmiri people. "The Modi government has constrained the freedom of living on the unarmed Kashmiris for the past number of days. The passion for freedom among the Kashmiris has further heightened despite clamping down continuous curfew and crackdown on them. The ugly face of so-called democracy has been disclosed before the world," said the chief minister in a statement issued on Sunday.

He said that bullets of ballot guns could not even suppress the freedom movement of the Kashmiris. India has flagrantly violated international laws and fundamental human rights. The hands of the Modi government are stained with the blood of innocent Kashmiris, he remarked.

According to Buzdar, the international community will have to support the cause of the Kashmiris in order to avert human tragedy on a massive scale. He wondered that maintenance of further silence by the international community could cause a major catastrophic incident. "It is the test of the international community whether they choose peace or support the war monger Modi government."
