LONDON (Dunya News) – Former Norwegian Prime Minister Kjell Magne Bondevik, members of the British Parliament and Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi on Monday unanimously supported a joint resolution tabled against gross human rights’ violations in Indian-occupied Kashmir (IOK) – a development which Qureshi termed as “massive”.
All leaders expressed grave concerns on the true scale of India’s brutalities in Occupied Kashmir as determined by the reports of the UK Parliament’s All-Party Parliamentary Kashmir Group (APPKG) which was revealed in October 2018.
The resolution stated that the Kashmir conflict should be resolved accordingly with the UN resolutions.
The leaders urged the international community to take concrete measures to address and halt human rights’ violations in the occupied Kashmir.
The meeting determined that issues of Kashmiri people have increased while the dispute has not been addressed and it has negative implications for regional peace and security.
The resolution stressed on the need of providing immediate medical assistance to the people of Kashmir who were shot by pellet guns.
