This comes despite international forum agreeing that it is India's internal matter.  DGISPR of Pakistan has also said that it is not "Nehru's India".

When asked how will Kashmir get freedom, Hussain said that that people like writer Arundhati Roy, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee and political parties like Congress, left parties are "sympathisers" of Pakistan.
