Pakistan expresses concern over upholding of five-year ban on JKLF by Indian tribunal
Islamabad: Pakistan has expressed concern over the upholding of the Indian home ministry’s decision to extend the five-year ban on the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) by a tribunal, under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Foreign Office Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch at her weekly press briefing today urged the Indian authorities to immediately release the incarcerated JKLF Chairman Muhammad Yasin Malik and lift the ban on him and JKLF and other political parties.
She reiterated Pakistan’s continuous moral, political and diplomatic support to the Kashmiri people.
Referring to the recent Israeli airstrikes on Khalifa Bin Zayed School in Northern Gaza, a mosque in Central Gaza, and a refugee camp, killing innocent civilians, including children and women, she said such attacks represented war crimes being committed by Israeli occupation forces.
She also reiterated the call for holding Israel accountable for its crimes and crimes against humanity.
As a year of Israel’s barbarism in Palestine completes on Monday (October 7) marking the killing of around 42,000 Palestinians, overwhelmingly women and children, Pakistan urged the UN Security Council to act decisively to impose an immediate and permanent ceasefire and hold Israel accountable for its war crimes.
