ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Prime Minister Imran Khan on Friday held a telephonic conversation with German Chancellor Angela Merkel to apprise her about India’s illegal, unilateral actions and gross violations of human rights in occupied Jammu and Kashmir and changing its demographic structure.
PM Khan informed the German Chancellor that Indian actions were in direct contravention of the United Nations Security Council resolutions, the International Law and its own solemn commitments.
He highlighted the dire human rights situation in the Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir, including complete lockdown, blackout on all forms of communication and severe shortage of food and medicines.
He stressed that intensified Indian repression could result in massive loss of lives of Kashmiris, which must be prevented at all costs.
The premier also underlined concerns about a possible “false-flag” operation that could be staged by India or some other ill-conceived step along the Line of Control to divert the world’s attention from human rights’ violations in Kashmir.
The PM emphasised that Indian actions have serious implications for peace and security in the region and the international community has the responsibility to act urgently.
Chancellor Angela Merkel said Germany was closely observing the situation. She called for effective measures to reduce tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbours in a peaceful manner.
