India, July 14 -- Addressing the ongoing protests in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, the Ministry of External Affairs has condemned the excessive force used against civilians.

Speaking at a weekly press conference, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal stated that India calls on the international community to hold Pakistan responsible for its actions in PoK.

"Pakistan has responded with excessive police brutality, including towards women and children, deployed an internet blackout, and stopped the flow of essential and critical aid. We expect that the international community holds the Pakistani government responsible," said Jaiswal

This is a developing story.
