Dr. Fehmida said people of Indian Occupied Kashmir have been under siege since August 5 and all local elected representatives are under detention and deprived of any voice.

Delegates of the member states joined Pakistan delegation, yelling a loud “No” as an Indian delegate tried to call the issue an internal matter of India.
