Taking to his Twitter handle, the Pakistan Prime Minster said, “first India’s attempt at illegal annexation of IOJK & now its attempts to alter IOJK’s demographic structure incl by the issuance of domicile certificates to 25,000 Indian nationals are all illegal, in violation of UNSC resolutions & international law, incl 4th Geneva Convention.”

In another tweet, he said, “I have approached UN Secretary-General and am reaching out to other world leaders. India must be stopped from this unacceptable path that further usurps the legal & internationally guaranteed rights of the Kashmiri people & seriously imperils peace and security in South Asia.”
