ISLAMABAD: Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has written to the President of the United Nations Security Council and the Secretary-General of the United Nations to inform them of the deteriorating human rights situation in Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
All illegal and unilateral measures imposed by India in IIOJK on August 5, 2019, including attempts to change the demographic structure of the occupied territory, were flagrant violations of international law, including the UN charter, relevant UNSC Security Council resolutions, and the 4th Geneva Convention, according to Islamabad’s top diplomat.
A just settlement of the Kashmir dispute, according to Qureshi, is necessary for South Asia’s long-term peace and stability.
Pakistan’s aim for peaceful relations with all of its neighbours, including India, was also underlined by him.
On Kashmir Day, Prime Minister Imran Khan remarked that the Narendra Modi-led government’s fascist tactics had failed to “destroy the spirit of Kashmiri resistance” in IIOJK.
The prime minister emphasised Pakistan’s solidarity with its “Kashmiri brothers and sisters” and commitment to the “legitimate” Kashmiri fight for independence.
