Post shared PM on Twitter said: “Modi is riding a tiger he thought he could get his agenda of annexation by using 900,000 forces to silence Kashmiris.

75 days & Occupation government of Modi continues the siege in IOJK. Modi is riding a tiger – he thought he could get his agenda of annexation by using 900k forces to silence Kashmiris. You don't need 900k troops to fight terrorism; you need them to terrorise 8m Kashmiri people.

“You don’t need 900,000 troops to fight terrorism; you need them to terrorize 8m Kashmiri people.”

In a subsequent, the PM said Modi was now “fearful” because “he knows the moment the siege is lifted, there will be a bloodbath which would be the only way to subdue the Kashmiri people”.

Frustration, anger and fear have been growing in occupied Kashmir since August 5, when the Indian government stripped the region of its semi-autonomous status and imposed a curfew and a communications blackout. While some call and text services for mobile phone services were previously restored in the region, text messaging services were again blocked on Tuesday.

The clampdown has now continued for over 70 days.

According to Radio Pakistan, Friday is being observed as Kashmir Day across the country to express solidarity with Kashmiris. In this regard, sirens were rung at 3pm and people stood up to express solidarity with their Kashmiri brethren.

Last month, addressing the 74th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, Prime Minister Imran had criticised India for its annexation of occupied Kashmir and the continued restrictions imposed in the region.
