PARIS, Aug 03 : Pakistan\u2019s ambassador to France Asim Iftikhar Saturday strongly condemned India\u2019s illegal actions of 5 August 2019 and subsequent steps aimed at undermining the internationally recognized disputed status of Jammu and Kashmir.
\nHe was speaking at a webinar with other participants on Youm-e-Istehsal marking 5 years of India\u2019s illegal & unilateral actions of 5 August 2019 in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
\nHe said India was trying to alter the demographic composition of the occupied territory in flagrant violation of UN Security Council resolutions related to J&K and international law including the 4th Geneva Convention.
\nUnited Nations\u2019 position on the Jammu and Kashmir dispute, as contained in the relevant UNSC resolutions and also pronounced by the UN Secretary-General, remained clear and unchanged, he added.
\nHe said there were no takers of the Indian position.
\nThe ambassador said there was \u2060unanimous rejection of all illegal actions of India by the Kashmiris who were more determined than ever in their legitimate quest for self-determination and freedom from Indian occupation.
\nIt was moral obligation and responsibility of the international community to bring an immediate end to Indian oppression, widespread atrocities and grave violations of human rights of the Kashmiri people, he continued.
\nHe said a just and peaceful resolution of the J&K dispute in accordance with the UN resolutions and wishes of the Kashmiri people was imperative for regional peace and stability. UN Security Council must fulfill its primary responsibility and ensure implementation of its own resolutions on Kashmir, he stressed.
\nHe said there was \u2060historical commitment and strong national consensus in Pakistan to continue to extend all possible support to the Kashmiri brothers and sisters till the realization of their legitimate right to self-determination.
\nHe called for synergy of efforts at political, diplomatic, legal, human rights and other fronts to effectively promote and project the Kashmir cause including pro-active role and enhanced outreach by the diaspora to the international community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
