Qureshi made a telephone call to Javad Zarif and thanked the Iranian government and its people for supporting the people in the occupied valley.
“He briefed Zarif on the illegal and unilateral actions of India to alter the disputed status of Jammu and Kashmir,” the Foreign Office said in a statement.
Pakistan's foreign minister underlined that steps taken by India in occupied Kashmir posed threats to the region’s peace and stability and added that the move violated UN Charter, relevant Security Council’s Resolutions, International Law and India’s own commitments.
“The gravity of the situation in IOK demands a complete lifting of the curfew, removal of restrictions on movement, peaceful assembly, provision of food and medical supplies and release of political prisoners,” the communique read.
