RAWALPINDI: AJK President Sardar Masood Khan Tuesday said India had crossed all limits of barbarity and aggression in its attempts to quell the voice of the Kashmiris in Indian Occupied Kashmir .
“India will never succeed in its dastardly designs to subdue the freedom movement in IOK”, he added.

Terming the report issued by the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights(UNHCHR) on the situation in IOK as a major milestone, the president also commended the bold role of the High Commissioner in publishing this eye-opening report despite incessant Indian lobbying to keep it under wraps. “This report is undeniably a major milestone which exposes India’s horrid face to the world,” he said.
