Letter to UN: Sartaj highlights India’s bid to change IOK demography

Non-implementation of UN resolutions causing grave human tragedy, writes PM’s advisor

ISLAMABAD: Adviser to the Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz has written a letter to the UN Secretary General highlighting New Delhi’s attempt to bring demographic changes to Indian Occupied Kashmir [IoK].



The letter specifically points out the issuance of permanent residence certificates to non-residents, allotment of land to retired Indian army personnel, issuance of land to non-Kashmiris, the establishment of separate townships for Kashmiri pundits and settlement of West Pakistan refugees in IoK, a statement said on Saturday.

These efforts, says the letter, are being made to try to convert the Muslim majority in IoK into a minority to pre-empt the results of a UN-administered plebiscite.



In the letter, the PM’s adviser has also stressed that non-implementation of the UN Security Council resolutions is leading to a grave human tragedy in IoK.

“It is only by the implementation of the UN Security Council resolutions that we will be able to end the immense sufferings of millions of Kashmiris in the Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir and bring peace and stability to South Asia,” says the advisor’s letter.
