ISLAMABAD:
Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi slammed “systematic brutalities, killing of innocent civilians, and human rights violations by Indian security forces with impunity”.
“Indian terrorism has recently resulted in the killing of 14 people in the past 36 hours. The denial of access to UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and the OIC Permanent Human Rights Commission is proof of Indian oppression and guilt,” PM Abbasi said in a statement here on Monday,
“Indian security forces have recently unleashed a reign of terror against the Kashmiri people; the Hurriyat leadership has been arrested and peaceful protesters are being constantly terrorised and maimed by gunfire and pellet shots,” PM Abbasi said on Monday.
“The continued inhuman oppression by Indian of five generations of Kashmiris struggling for a just, fair and legitimate right to self-determination calls in question the collective conscience of the world.”

The people of the world must raise their voice against Indian oppression and world leaders must unite to save the victimised and brutalised women, children and youth of Kashmir, he said.
“In particular, we call upon the United Nations to play its role to stop the bloodbath of Kashmiris and enforce their inalienable right to self-determination.”
