Kashmiri-Americans and their supporters will stage a protest demonstration in New York on Sunday to mark India’s annexation of the state of Jammu and Kashmir in a bid to alter its internationally-recognized disputed status and undermine Kashmiris’ right to self-determination.

Secretary General, World Kashmir Awareness Forum Dr Ghulam Nabi Fai in a meeting held in Washington said that due to illegal and unilateral actions taken by the Modi government, the situation in Kashmir has deteriorated and the territory is now at the brink of genocide.
