ISLAMABAD: The Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) President, Masood Khan, on Tuesday said that the entire world had rejected the false Indian narrative on occupied Kashmir.
Addressing a news conference in Islamabad along with a delegation of the British parliament, he said that India was committing genocide in occupied Kashmir which was being condemned far and wide.
The AJK president said, the UN Security Council (UNSC) at its meeting in New York also voiced concerns over the human rights violations in the valley.
“It is also for the first time that the civil society and political parties within India are raising a strong voice against the illegal steps taken by Modi government in the held territory,” he said.
British Parliament member Imran Hussain in his remarks said the UNSC and the international community has a huge role to play for the resolution of Kashmir dispute. “The situation prevailing in occupied Kashmir should be a matter of concern for the world community,” he said.
Khalid Mahmood, another member of the British Parliament said, the people of Kashmir are waging a struggle for their right to self-determination over the last seventy years.
“The question arises if East Timor and South Sudan can get independence then why Kashmiris cannot?” he said, adding that he will also raise the plight of Kashmir people at the upcoming session of the British parliament.
