Pakistan has condemned the Indian government's curtailment of religious freedom of Muslims in Indian-administered Kashmir. In a statement on Monday, Pakistan's Foreign Ministry accused that India has curtailed religious freedom of millions of Kashmiri Muslims on an important festival of Eid al-Adha.

"Pakistan condemns India’s continuing brutal lockdown in Occupied Jammu & Kashmir and the resultant curtailment of religious freedom of millions of Kashmiris on the important festival of Eid al-Adha," Mohammad Faisal, spokesman for the Foreign Ministry, said. Restrictions and curtailment of this fundamental religious freedom of millions of Kashmiri Muslims constitute a serious violation of applicable international human rights law, to which India is a party, he added.
