Kashmiri Muslims have been subjected to violence throughout their lives. Since decades, India has been trying to annex the land by force.

“All we know India has violated human rights in Kashmir. And the world keep on silent,” he stressed.

Nadeem himself urged Indonesia on various elements ranging from the ranks of the government and people of Indonesia in order to encourage the solving problems of Kashmir issue.

According to Nadeem, India sought to decrease the majority of the Muslim population in Kashmir, so that after the Hindu population get to strengthen, the country will bring Kashmir to the United Nations to recognize it as a part of India, according to the 1947 agreement agreed upon three sides with England and Pakistan.
