Protesters gathered outside the Norwegian Parliament during Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Norway, denouncing continued oppression in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).

The demonstrators said the international community should not ignore the situation in Kashmir despite India’s diplomatic outreach and global engagements.

Chanting slogans outside the parliament building, protesters claimed that honours and diplomatic ceremonies could not overshadow alleged human rights violations in Kashmir and against minorities in India.

The rally criticised Modi’s policies and accused his government of intensifying pressure on Muslims and other minority communities under its Hindutva-driven agenda.

Speakers at the protest said Kashmir remained a major human rights issue involving millions of people whose political voices had been suppressed for decades.

They urged Norway and the wider international community to move beyond symbolic diplomacy and address what they called the realities of militarisation, detentions and restrictions in the disputed region.

Protesters said Kashmiris had not surrendered their identity or demands for self-determination despite years of political pressure and security crackdowns.

They added that the movement for dignity and political rights in Kashmir would continue to resonate internationally.
