Qureshi Stresses UN to Take Serious Notice of deteriorating Situation in Kashmir

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has demanded the United Nations (UN) to take serious notice of the deteriorating human rights situation in Occupied Jammu and Kashmir and play its role in lifting curfew and other restrictions Kashmiris are facing for the last 20 days.

“This is the true face of the Indian government which the world is witnessing today,” said the foreign minister as he addressed a press conference in Islamabad.

“Today the fascist attitude of the Modi administration was demonstrated at the Srinagar airport today,” he said, referring to the arrest of former Congress president Rahul Gandhi and other opposition leaders shortly after they landed.

“UNSC resolutions entice you to act at the earliest. I also ask the UN chief to play his role in removing curfew in Kashmir and apprise P4 members over the whole situation.”

Qureshi said that he conveyed the Pakistani government’s gratitude to UNHCHR’s recent report on human rights violations in IOK. He also invited the UN chief to visit South Asia and Jammu and Kashmir region despite his tight schedule.

“I call upon democratic nations of the world to view that footage. When they treat their own this way, what expectation can be had when we [Pakistan] are told to hold a dialogue with them?” said Qureshi.

“The situation demands the UN chief to visit South Asia and especially the whole region of Kashmir on both sides of the border despite his tight schedule. So he can witness the situation on the ground and inform the world about it.”
