Oslo: A large protest demonstration was held outside the Norwegian Parliament in Oslo against Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his government’s policies in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

According to Kashmir Media Service, the protest was organized by Tehrik-e-Kashmir Norway, drawing around 200 to 250 participants who strongly condemned the ongoing atrocities being committed by Indian forces in IIOJK.

The speakers at the demonstration included Ch Nasir, General Secretary of Tehrik-e-Kashmir Norway, former Labour Party Member of Parliament Khalid Mehmood, Dr Mubashar Banaras, and Marielle Leraand.

Addressing the gathering, the speakers criticized Modi and the BJP-led Indian government over the killings, human rights violations, and mistreatment of innocent Kashmiris. They also denounced what they termed the Modi government’s anti-Muslim and anti-minority policies in India.

The participants said the Hindutva-driven policies of the BJP regime were not only targeting Muslims but were also aimed at suppressing other minority communities across India. They urged the international community, particularly Norway, to hold Modi accountable and question his government’s policies toward Kashmir and minorities. During the protest, demonstrators raised slogans including “Modi Terrorist”, “India Leave Kashmir”, and “Butcher of Gujarat” to express their anger against the Indian government’s actions in the occupied territory.

 

They said Kashmiris continue to live under military pressure, surveillance and political restrictions, yet their demand for freedom and the right to decide their own future is alive and growing louder across the world. Demonstrators stated that Modi can organize diplomatic tours and image-building campaigns abroad, but such efforts cannot erase the anger and pain of families in Kashmir who have lived through years of crackdowns, detentions, fear and media blackout.

Protesters chanted that “Grand Cross” cannot wash away the blood of minorities, Sikhs and Kashmiris, adding that “Modi is a terrorist, not a statesman.” Speakers strongly criticized Modi’s policies in Kashmir, calling them oppressive and rooted in a wider Hindutva agenda that has increased pressure on Muslims and other minorities in India.

They argued that Kashmir is not just a territorial dispute but a human issue involving millions of people whose political voice has been suppressed for decades. The protesters urged Norway and the wider international community to stop treating Kashmir as a side issue and instead confront the reality faced daily by Kashmiris living under heavy militarization. The message from Oslo was direct: Kashmiris have not surrendered their identity, their voice, or their demand for freedom despite years of force and political pressure.
