Islamabad: Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Senator Ishaq Dar on Thursday called upon the the international community to take decisive actions to address the worsening human rights situation in IIOJK and ensure accountability for India\u2019s illegal and unilateral actions.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, the deputy prime minister, in his message on \u201cKashmir Solidarity Day\u201d annually observed on February 5, urged the world to persuade India to implement the United Nations Security Council resolutions and allow the Kashmiri people their promised right to self-determination.
\nHe reiterated Pakistan\u2019s firm and unwavering support for the people of Jammu and Kashmir in their just struggle for the right to self-determination.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnder illegal Indian occupation, the Kashmiri people remain deprived of their fundamental rights. Yet, their resilience testifies the legitimacy of their just cause.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said that at the heart of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute lies India\u2019s failure to implement the United Nations Security Council resolutions guaranteeing the Kashmiri people a free and impartial plebiscite. India\u2019s persistent defiance undermines the United Nations Charter, the relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions and the Fourth Geneva Convention, he added.
\nDeputy Prime Minister Dar highlighted that the situation on the ground in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (\u041f\u041eJK) had moved beyond episodic violations to a sustained system of repression as since the unilateral and illegal actions of 5 August 2019, India had dismantled legal safeguards, weakened local institutions, and imposed measures aimed at consolidating its permanent occupation of the disputed territory, including artificially altering the demographic composition to change Muslim majority into minority, forcing media to follow the official line, and criminalizing any form of dissent.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnder the Hindutva-driven framework, people in IIOJK face constant discrimination. The recent profiling of mosques in IIOJK where religious functionaries are forced to give their personal details, photographs and sectarian affiliations show the extent of institutionalized Islamophobia.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dar said that the grave human rights violations including fake encounters, enforced disappearances, arbitrary detentions and restrictions on fundamental freedoms continued unabated and that the UN experts had recently noted the arbitrary detention of nearly 2,800 individuals, including journalists, students, and human rights defenders.<\/p>\n
\u201cPakistan will continue to stand with our Kashmiri brothers and sisters politically, morally and diplomatically. Our efforts will remain focused on securing a peaceful and lasting resolution of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute,\u201d the deputy prime minister resolved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
