Qureshi has urged the international community to pay attention to the gross and blatant human rights violations in the Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir. He said the diplomats should visit Azad Kashmir and the Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir to assess the ground realities and judge for themselves what the people want there.
The foreign minister said the restive regin is under military siege over the last eighteen months. He hoped the new US administration which is talking about human rights protection will stop ignoring the ground realities in the illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir. He expressed the confidence that the OIC and the EU will also play their role in this regard.
Qureshi said Kashmir is not an internal matter of India. He said the dispute has been on the agenda of Pakistan-India talks in the past whilst the UN Security Council has held three discussions on it in the wake of 5th August 2019 illegal steps in the valley.
He said Pakistan wants to resolve this dispute through dialogue and peaceful manners as there is no military solution to it. He said Pakistan did not vitiate the environment and the one who did it needs to create an environment for engagement.
