Prime Minister of Azad Jammu and Kashmir Raja Farooq Haider Khan will attend the meeting of the European Parliament’s Committee on Foreign Affairs on Monday, which will discuss the situation in Indian-occupied Kashmir.

The AJK prime minister will also meet the British parliamentarians in London.

It is pertinent to mention that the United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs’ will also discuss the prevailing situation in Indian-occupied Kashmir.

The Kashmir valley is cut-off from the rest of the world since August 5 when India revoked special status of Jammu and Kashmir. Internet, mobile and landline services are dead and TV channels are shut since then.

People of Kashmir are facing acute shortage of essential commodities including food, milk and life-saving medicines due to curfew and communications blockade.
