Farooq terms Indian ceasefire violations example of worst state terrorism

MIRPUR: Prime Minister of Azad Jammu Kashmir Raja Muhammad Farooq Haider Khan Saturday said targeted attacks on innocent civilians, passenger buses, school vans, children and women at the Line of Control (LoC) were the worst examples of the state terrorism by the Indian occupational forces.

The AJK prime minister, in a statement, condemned the ongoing ceasefire violations by Indian forces on LOC and said deliberate ceasefire violations and atrocities by Indian forces were decreasing patience of the masses living along the LOC. “The UN Security Council must stop India for such kind of deteriorating human rights violations,” he added.

He said in response to the Indian atrocities, the Pakistan Army had never targeted any civilian on the other side of the LoC. “Their target is only Indian occupational forces as the masses living there are also our brethren, who are struggling for their liberation from Indian occupation,” he maintained.

Farooq Haider said the people living along the LoC and the Working Boundary stood behind the the Pakistan Army, whom they considered as their protectors.

He urged the United Nations to take notice of serious human rights violations in occupied Kashmir, in addition of ceasefire violation at the LoC. “The UN must stop India to maintain peace in South Asia," he said, adding Indians had to leave Kashmir as occupation by arms could not be retained for long.
