The government of Pakistan and the state government of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJ&K) welcoming the serious reservations expressed by the United Nations (UN) Human Rights Council against the Indian government's acts in Indian-occupied Kashmir (IoK) have urged the global community to pressurize Indian authorities to respect basic human rights of the people of occupied region.
This was stated by Prime Minister AJ&K Raja Farooq Haider Khan, Federal Minister for Kashmir Affairs Ali Ameen Gandapur and Chairman Kashmir Committee Syed Fakhar Imam here on Thursday in a meeting held at Kashmir House. They were of the opinion that Pakistan's firm stance on Kashmir coupled with sacrifices of Kashmiris compelled the international community to condemn unilateral action of Indian government of depriving the people of held valley of their basic rights.
Farooq Haider said that Indian government has clamped indefinite curfew which has turned the scenic paradise like valley virtually into a hell where innocent Kashmiris are facing torture of tyrant and oppressive Indian troops. "Solidarity expressed by the government of Pakistan and people has enhanced the morale of Kashmiri people," he added.
The AJ&K PM said that world is now reacting on Kashmir issue and 58 countries denounced unilateral action of the Indian government. He said during his trip to the USA and the UK, it was realized that international community listens to the voice of Kashmiris and acknowledges their sacrifices.
Haider said that Pakistan government effectively advocated the plight of Kashmiris and continuation of the support in raising voice on every available forum will prove productive. He hoped Prime Minister Imran Khan's address at a public gathering in Muzaffarabad will convey a strong message of national unity on the issue of Kashmir.
Speaking on the occasion, Chairman Kashmir Committee Syed Fakhar Imam said that the government and the opposition are on the same page on the issue of Kashmir and stand by the oppressed people of Jammu and Kashmir. He said Prime Minister Imran Khan's visit to Muzaffarabad will give a strong message to the people of the Occupied Kashmir.
Ali Ameen Gandapur said that Prime Minister Khan's visit to Muzaffarabad is meant to show solidarity with the Kashmiri people who are facing oppression and suppression at the hands of Indian troops. He said that the public gathering will be a message of national unity on the issue of Kashmir. The minister said that Pakistan will continue its diplomatic struggle and lead the liberation movement to a logical conclusion.
The AJ&K PM said that Indian government is using brute force and pursuing oppression against innocent Kashmiris to silence their voice. He said there is acute shortage of medicines, food and other commodities. The people cannot come out of their houses due to curfew and security clampdown. "It is the moral obligation of international community to use its influence in lifting curfew and providing international human rights organizations access to the occupied valley for assisting Kashmiris," he added.
