Pakistan condemns gratuitous remarks by Indian Defence Minister

Islamabad, Nov 4 (Online): At a press briefing on Friday Spokesperson Foreign Office, Asim Iftikhar Ahmad said that World seen our categorical rejection of India’s baseless propaganda directed against Pakistan at the meeting of the UN Counter Terrorism Committee (CTC) in Mumbai last week.

“We have also strongly condemned the highly irresponsible, provocative and gratuitous remarks by the Indian Defence Minister at a public event on Kashmir Black Day in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu & Kashmir (IIOJK)” said spokesperson.

He said that we remain deeply concerned over the situation in IIOJK. Only during the month of October, the Indian occupation forces in their continued acts of state terrorism martyred 14 Kashmiris in fake encounters and illegal custody. Indian police, paramilitary personnel and notorious National Investigation Agency also arrested 47 people and destroyed a residential house during cordon and search operations and house raids in different areas of the occupied territory during the month.

Pakistan has consistently called upon the international community to shoulder its responsibility with regards to IIOJK. India must be held responsible for its nefarious scheme of altering the demography of IIOJK, as well as its unabated brutal repression of the innocent Kashmiris.
