ISLAMABAD, February 23: Pakistan has called upon the international community, particularly the United Nations and relevant international human rights organizations to hold India accountable for its gross and systematic human rights violations against minorities, especially Muslims.
The Foreign Office, in a statement Wednesday, said India must also be compelled to halt its state-sponsored terrorism in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, lift inhuman military siege in the territory and let Kashmiris exercise their right to self-determination as per the relevant UN resolutions.
The statement was issued on the occasion of second anniversary of the horrific Delhi Riots Pogrom of 2020 and 31st anniversary of the mass rapes of Kashmiri women in Kunan and Poshpura villages of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir in 1991. The Foreign Office said Delhi pogrom, 2020 is one of the most harrowing manifestations of India’s systematic campaign to discriminate and dehumanize the Muslim community. NNI
