Pakistan is united over Kashmir issue: AJK PM

Raja Farooq Haider urges govt to send letters to foreign secretaries; says India has lost Kashmir

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Azad Jammu and Kashmir Raja Farooq Haider said on Monday that Pakistan is united over the issue of Kashmir and India will be given a befitting response in case of any misadventure.

Addressing a news conference in Islamabad, he said India is trying to suppress the rights of Kashmiris and wants to change the status of Jammu and Kashmir. He said revocation of Article 370 would mainly harm the status of Jammu.

The AJK premier said India is using different tactics to make occupied Kashmir its part.

“India is carrying out propaganda against Pakistan at international level and it is high time to counter that propaganda through effective strategy,” he said.

Reiterating the Indian army’s unethical use of cluster bombs against civilian population, PM Farooq also added that Indian PM Narendra Modi will do something outrageous in the coming days.

“There’s a possibility of a full-blown genocide in Kashmir, but we need to stop that,” said the premier, adding that leaders of the world should work together to stop this atrocity.

Haider said that an emergency meeting of the AJK cabinet will be held tomorrow over the issue.

The premier said India is violating basic human rights in occupied Kashmir.

“The leadership of occupied Kashmir has been imprisoned in different jails,” he added.

The AJK PM reiterated that the violation of international laws was unacceptable, and that India has lost Kashmir in true sense of the term.

The prime minister said that they would stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Pakistan Army to face the Indian army.
