Leadership of all major political parties of the country attended the APC.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi chaired an All Parties Conference (APC) on Tuesday and briefed the participants on Youm-e-Istehsal – which will be observed on August 5 in solidarity with the people of India-occupied Kashmir (IOK) – and human rights violations by the Indian troops in the held valley.
According to details, leadership of all major political parties of the country attended the APC. The foreign minister stressed that all Kashmiris have rejected India’s unconstitutional and unilateral step of revoking Kashmir’s autonomy.
He said, “India’s Hindutva ideology is not only a threat to Kashmiris but to the entire region’s peace. India wants to change the proportion of the population of occupied Kashmir on the basis of racial bigotry. All political parties of Pakistan are on same page regarding the Kashmir issue.”
