Islamabad, May 08, 2023 (PPI-OT): A complete shutdown will be observed in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir and Azad Kashmir on May 22 against the India’s illegal move of holding the G20 meeting in Srinagar, with Kashmiris living abroad to hold anti-India protests in all major capitals of the world on the day.
