On Saturday, Prime Minister advisor on Kashmir affairs and Gilgit Baltistan Qamar Za-man Kaira said that India wanted to hold the G20 session to hide its cruelties in the oc-cupied Kashmir.
He mentioned that the oppression of India on Kashmiris was increasing with every passing day while adding Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Mr Bhutto-Zardari raised the issue of Kashmir at every forum.
Mr Kaira stressed that the incumbent government would not shy away from raising the Kashmir issue at all forums mentioning Imran Khan did not raise the desired voice for the oppressed people of the Indian occupied valley.
