NEW YORK: The Prime Minister’s Special Assistant for Overseas Pakistanis, Zulfi Bukhari, has urged US-based Muslim organizations to stand in solidarity with the Kashmiri people who are suffering under a repressive Indian military lockdown imposed by the “fascist” government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, an ultra Hindu nationalist.
At a meeting with the organizations’ leaders representing American-Muslims from all over the world, he said that with India’s August 5 action to annex occupied Kashmir, the long drawn out struggle of the Kashmiri people for their UN-pledged right of self-determination had entered a crucial phase.
