ISLAMABAD: Chairman Pakistan Parliament's Special Committee on Kashmir Shehryar Khan Afridi has strongly condemned the Indian-occupation government for enacting new laws to enable illegal military cantonments in the disputed area urged United Nations to take action to stop this illegal process.
Addressing a seminar at National Press Club Islamabad on Sunday, to mark Kashmir Accession Day, Shehryar Afridi said the government would continue its political, moral and diplomatic suport to the people of Kashmir for their right of self-determination.
He said that the new laws were a part of Indian plan to bring demographic changes in the IoJK in a bid to artificially turn Muslim dominated Kashmir into a Hindu majority territory.
Afridi said this is a nefarious design cooked up to violate the United Nations Security Council resolutions. He said that the international community should its due role for the right of the Kashmir people.
He said under this sinister design, thousands of Indian labourers have been brought for construction near the army Cantonment.
He said that India is violating international law by settling Indians in the UN-recognized disputed territory. The world must take note and warn India of its implications in the region, he demanded.
Afridi said the UN must pursue its own resolutions on Kashmir to hold a plebiscite in the occupied territory, failing which it would lead UN towards the fate of League of Nations.
He said that Kashmiris should be given the right to vote to decide their political future, as promised by the United Nations.
