ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has called on United Nation to take action to end India’s colonialization of Jammu and Kashmir and enable its people to exercise their right to self-determination.

He said entire Kashmiri leadership has been imprisoned, thousands of Kashmiri youths, including women and children, detained, protests put down violently, with neighborhoods and villages destroyed as collective punishment.
