Aim of Indian actions of Aug 5 was to change demographic structure of IIOJK: FM Qureshi

BJP regime believed that the world would not notice this mutilation of justice: FM Qureshi

ISLAMABAD (Web Desk) – Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi has said that the Indian Government undertook illegal and unilateral actions to perpetuate its occupation of Indian illegally occupied Jammu & Kashmir (IIOJK) and further disempower and disenfranchise the Kashmiri people.

Shah Mehmood Qureshi said that the illegal Indian actions were also aimed at changing the demographic structure of IIOJK to fulfill the RSS-BJP ‘Hindutva’ agenda in violation of the United Nations Security Council Resolutions and international law, particularly the 4th Geneva Convention.

The foreign minister further said that the BJP regime believed that the world would not notice this mutilation of justice; over 900,000 Indian occupation force will silence the Kashmiris through brutalization; and that Pakistan will accept the new status quo. On all counts, India has been proven wrong.

On the other hand, the international community, human rights organizations, media and civil society have been vocal in their condemnation of India’s unconcealed absolutism. Parliamentarians of major world powers have written to their leadership and moved resolutions condemning India’s actions, he added.

FM Qureshi also said that major world leaders have stood by the Kashmiris, the United Nations Special Mandate Holders have called out the Indian Government on its anti-minority policies, and the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has discussed the issue of Jammu & Kashmir three times during the past one year after a gap of more than 55 years.

He urged international community to do more and back its words with concrete actions for the innocent Kashmiri people who have been subjected to arbitrary arrests, detentions, torture, corporal punishment, extra-judicial killings, digital lockdown and a military siege in occupied Jammu & Kashmir for over twelve months.
