The Foreign Office said Pakistan condemns "systematic and brutal killing of Kashmiris" by Indian forces and urges UNHR organisations across the globe and the international community "to act to stop bloodshed of Kashmiris by India".

"As a continued act of state terrorism, India is blatantly committing crimes against humanity in (Kashmir)," it alleged.

Indian security forces in an overnight operation killed three militants in south Kashmir's Anantnag district. An army official said the militants fired upon them during a search operation yesterday and they retaliated killing the militants.

It further claimed the constant "terrorist activities of the RSS and its affiliates" in Kashmir with the state's backing ... Are highly deplorable and call for accountability of the perpetrators."
