Pakistan doesn't accept ICJ's jurisdiction in Jadhav's case: FO
Human right situation in Occupied Kashmir is deteriorating: Nafees Zakaria
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Spokesperson for the Foreign Office (FO), Nafees Zakaria has said on Thursday that International Court of Justice (ICJ) has no jurisdiction to hear Kulbhushan Jadhav’s case.
In the weekly press briefing, Zakaria said that the international court does not reserve any jurisdiction to hear a case that involves national stability of Pakistan.
He said that human right situation in Occupied Kashmir is deteriorating.
Zakaria said that India’s fastest growing nuclear programme in the world has serious implications for strategic stability in South Asia and national security of Pakistan.
He said Pakistan has been underscoring the risk of diversion by India to imported nuclear fuel, equipment and technology received pursuant to civil nuclear accord and 2008 energy waiver by Nuclear Suppliers Group.
The spokesperson urged NSG members to consider risks involved in transfer of nuclear material to India and its NSG membership bid.
In response to a question, he said India s move requiring Advisor on Foreign Affairs of Pakistan to write a recommendatory letter to Indian External Affairs Minister for every medical visa case is unprecedented in inter-state relations.
Giving update on situation in Occupied Kashmir, the spokesperson said Hindu terrorist outfit, RSS, has been stationing its activists and establishing its units in Occupied Kashmir, managed by non-Kashmiri RSS activists.
RSS had slaughtered more than half a million Kashmiri Muslims in November 1947 together with Dogra and Indian occupation forces. He said their increasing presence in Occupied Kashmir is to terrorize Kashmiris and deter them from participating in the self-determination movement.
He said young Kashmiris, particularly the students are the target of occupation forces and RSS. Over 200 people including students were arrested while 500 people including boys and girl students were injured when Indian occupation forces subjected defenseless Kashmiris to brute force against protesting students in Srinagar, Ganderbal, Budgam, Kulgam, Baramulla, Kupwara, Islamabad, Pulwama and Shopian, districts.
Nafees Zakaria said at least eight people were killed by Indian occupation forces in shoot out in Occupied Kashmir. He said Pakistan condemns these killings and arrest and persecution of Kashmiri leadership.
