India is doing things such as CAA which go beyond the International norms, while Indian lobby is very strong and organised they reach out to everyone and everywhere with their message. “Sanctions against India are possible as Russia faced in case of Crimea,” he added.

More than 850 LOC ceasefire violations by Indian Army in this years is also a tactic to divert the attention of the world community.
President JKSM Bhat further added that Indian Fascist Hindutva Government wants to curb and crush the Kashmiri Muslims through Crackdowns, military operations, fake encounters, imposing Communication lockdown, making Economic breakdown, Molestation of women, snatching future of our new generation.
