Pakistan on Wednesday condemned the continued brutalizing Kashmiri people in the Occupied Jammu and Kashmir and urged the world community to hold India accountable for its crimes in the occupied valley.

"As the world is grappling with Covid-19 pandemic, India is busy further brutalising the Kashmiri people in IOJ&K," Foreign Office spokesperson Aisha Farooqui said.

She said that the cold-blooded murder of Peer Mehrajuddin by the CRPF (Central Reserve Police Force) in Budgam on Wednesday is the latest, in the mindless killing spree being carried out by the Indian occupation forces. She said that the police resorted to indiscriminate use of force, including shotgun pellets and tear gas, when hundreds of unarmed men and women took to the streets to peacefully protest the wanton killing.

There are reports of several protestors injured.

These Indian brutalities cannot be condemned enough, she added.

"No matter how brutal its tactics, India will not be able to break the will of the Kashmiri people. Nor will India ever succeed in suppressing the Kashmiris' resolve to realise their inalienable right to self-determination," she added.

Farooqui called upon the world community to hold India to account for its crimes in Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir. "Justice for Kashmiris remains indispensable for peace in South Asia," she added.
