Azad Jammu and Kashmir President Barrister Sultan Mehmood Chaudhry has said that holding of G20 meeting in Srinagar has proven a great diplomatic setback for India due to refusal of a number of important countries to attend it.

In a statement, he said holding the G20 meeting in the disputed area is a violation of the UN resolutions on Kashmir.

He said key stakeholders’ refusal to attend the moot has further highlighted the disputed legacy of the lingering dispute.

Castigating the Indian government for its repressive policies against minorities, especially Muslims, the president said that rising tides of xenophobia and intolerance within Indian society would lead to the disintegration of the country.
