Leaders from across the Line of Control have condemned the decision of India’s Supreme Court, terming it a ‘black stain’ on the so-called democracy in India.

Commenting on the development, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leader Shah Ghulam Qadir said the Kashmiris were expecting the decision. He pointed out that the court’s verdict exposed the diverse society of India, which, after this decision, had been completely overpowered by Hindu extremists from the highest judiciary to the Prime Minister’s Office of India.

“The people of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir had not merely given matchless sacrifices for any kind of statehood since 1947 until now, but they have one and only prime target, which is the implementation of the United Nations Security Council resolutions in the IIOJK,” Qadir said. He added, “This decision sends an open message to the Kashmiris across the globe that nobody in India is ready to give them a political breathing space. Instead, the Kashmiris should now focus on the international community and present their case to expose Indian state terrorism in the IIOJK.”
