Pakistan Expresses Concerns Over Worsening Situation In IoK

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan expresses serious concern over the progressively deteriorating situation in occupied Kashmir.

Foreign Office spokesperson in a statement on Saturday said there is deepening anxiety and fear among the people of occupied Kashmir because of reports of deployment of additional 38,000 Indian paramilitary forces in recent weeks.

The advice to tourists, yatris and students to immediately leave the IOK, and messages urging people to store food supplies, have stoked further apprehensions.

Speculation has mounted that the Indian authorities might attempt to alter the demographic structure in occupied Kashmir and to bring about a material change on the ground.

As in the past, Pakistan is strongly opposed to any move that would seek to alter the demographic structure of occupied Kashmir to change the internationally-disputed nature of Jammu & Kashmir.

Any such move would be in violation of the UN Security Council resolutions and seriously endanger peace and security in the region.

The recent developments have been accompanied by increased level of ceasefire violations by the Indian Army across the Line of Control (LoC). Between 19 July-3 August 2019, unprovoked firing and use of heavy weaponry by India has led to 6 civilian deaths, injuries to 48 civilians, and damage to civilian infrastructure in AJK.
