Following the Pulwama attack, Kashmiris have been targeted in IoK by Indian security forces and Hindu extremists.
The Pulwama suicide attack, which left 44 Indian soldiers dead on Thursday, has provoked ultra-nationalists in the country to ramp up pressure against Muslims.
In Indian occupied valley of Jammu, dozens of vehicles and shops, belonging to Muslims in the area have been set on fire by extremist Hindu mobs.
Kashmiri students inside the Indian held valley and across were subjected to torture while the Kashmiri business community, in Indian states, is under severe strain.
Pakistan has also strongly condemned the continuing attacks on Kashmiris in the aftermath of the Pulwama attack including Kashmiri students being systemically targeted in India as the state authorities stay complicit and inactive.
