Around three hundred and fifty Pakistani women married to Kashmiri people in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir are facing an uncertain future because of the Narendra Modi-led Indian government's discriminatory laws and restrictions.              

These women, who went to occupied Jammu and Kashmir along with their Kashmiri husbands under a rehabilitation program decades ago, are now stranded with no valid travel documents and limited options for returning to Pakistan.   

Rights groups and activists have raised concerns about the violation of these women's rights especially denying them citizenship and preventing them from returning to their families.                                       

Meanwhile, a report by Kashmir Media Service reveals that the Modi regime is distorting truth to promote its false narrative in occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

The report maintains that continued detentions, the use of draconian laws against Kashmiris, everyday raids and cordon and search operations debunk India's claim of normalcy.

The report urges international community to press India to allow the Kashmiris to decide their future by themselves.

On the other hand, People's Democratic Party leader Waheed-ur-Rehman Parra has said that the people of occupied Jammu and Kashmir are not happy with New Delhi and the Lok Sabha elections should be considered as a referendum against India.
