Pakistan expresses concerns over suppression of Kashmiris’ democratic rights in IIOJK
Islamabad: Pakistan has expressed concerns over the continued suppression of the democratic rights of the Kashmiri people in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
According to Kashmir Media Service, Foreign Office Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch at her weekly media briefing in Islamabad today said the oppressive measures are yet another example of the autocratic approach of the Indian authorities and a violation of the fundamental freedoms and human rights, especially of the rights of association and peaceful assembly.
She also said the Resolution 901 adopted by the US House of Representatives is an unsolicited interference in Pakistan’s domestic affairs which is neither welcomed nor acceptable. The resolution clearly stems from an inadequate and erroneous understanding of the political and electoral process of Pakistan, she added.
She said it is an unsolicited interference in Pakistan’s domestic affairs. “We believe that bilateral relations between countries should be based on mutual respect and sovereign equality”, she maintained.
