ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Saturday condemned the extra-judicial killing of four more Kashmiris in Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IOJK) by the Indian forces.
According to a statement issued by Foreign Office, the Indian occupation forces have martyred the youth during fake cordon-and-search operations. The FO stated that Indian occupation forces martyred 210 Kashmiris in fake encounters or so-called “cordon and search operations” in 2021.
“The military crackdown and intensified extra-judicial killings in fake stage-managed operations in IOJK reflect the extremist anti-Muslim designs of the Hindutva inspired extremist BJP-RSS to combine in India,” the ministry said in the statement.
The statement added, “Burial of the last remains of martyrs at unknown locations without the consent and presence of their families in many instances is yet another abhorrent manifestation of India’s use of state-terrorism as a policy tool to suppress the just Kashmiri struggle for their inalienable right to self-determination.”
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs added Pakistan calls on the international community to take immediate notice of India’s relentless oppression in IOJK.
The ministry highlighted that India’s ongoing, systematic and widespread human rights violations in IOJK warrant investigation by the UN Commission of Inquiry (COI), as recommended by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) in its Kashmir Reports of 2018 and 2019.
“Pakistan also urges the international community to play its role for a just and peaceful resolution of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute following the relevant UNSC resolutions and wishes of the Kashmiri people for durable peace and stability in the region,” it reiterated.
