Mehwish Hayat appreciated international media’s coverage of the situation in Indian-occupied Kashmir following the abrogation of Article 370.

Taking to Twitter, the actress shared an article by British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) titled ‘Kashmiris allege violent army crackdown’ and thanked the publication for highlighting the brutal reality. The report highlights beatings and torture carried out by the Indian army on innocent Kashmiris.
