Guinness World asked to record longest-ever IOK curfew.

ISLAMABAD -- Senator A Rehman Malik on Saturday requested the management of Guinness World Records to make part of its record 'the Longest Curfew' imposed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government in Indian Occupied Kashmir (IOK).

In a letter written to the Craig Glenday, Editor-in-Chief of the Guinness World Records, former interior minister drew his attention towards 'the worst human rights situation' in IOK, saying Indian troops had imposed the longest-ever curfew in the valley since August 5, 2019.

Malik gave a copy of the letter to President Masood which he has written to editor-in-chief of Guinness World Records to make part of its record the 'longest curfew in Indian Occupied Kashmir.' A copy of the letter has been sent to secretary general United Nations besides others.
