The Convener of All Parties Hurriyat Conference Azad Jammu and Kashmir (APHC-AJK) chapter, Mahmood Ahmed Saghar, while urging the G20 countries to take effective notice of India’s plan to hold next G20 summit in occupied Jammu and Kashmir has said that contentious move was a ploy aimed at deflecting the world’s attention away from the Kashmir dispute.
According to Kashmir Media Service, in a letter addressed to the heads of G20 nations, the APHC-AJK Convener while highlighting the disputed nature of Kashmir said that the Indian plan to hold such a high-profile meeting in the UN-recognized disputed territory is tantamount to undermining the credibility of the United Nations. Referring to the grim political and human rights situation in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Saghar wrote that the dire situation in the region is not suitable for holding such a high-profile meeting.
