Hundreds of supporters of the conservative and Islamist political party Jamaat-e-Islami rallied in the city of Karachi in Pakistan on Tuesday to mark the annual Day of Solidarity with Kashmir.

Pakistanis and Kashmiris around the world mark "Kashmir Day" on 5 February every year to show solidarity with those in Indian-administered Kashmir, who they say are struggling to gain freedom from India.

India and Pakistan each administer a part of Kashmir, but both claim the territory in its entirety.

Rebels have been fighting Indian rule since 1989, demanding Indian-controlled Kashmir be united either under Pakistani rule or established as an independent country.

Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan and President Arif Alvi released their statements on Tuesday condemning India for what they said were violations of human rights in the Indian section of Kashmir.

They said Pakistan would continue its "diplomatic and moral" support for people living in Kashmir.
