Foreign Minister Makhdoom Shah Mehmood Qureshi on Wednesday urged the world community, the United Nations and Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to play their part in a just and peaceful resolution of the longstanding dispute of Jammu and Kashmir.
He was addressing the International Parliamentary Kashmir Conference on the eve of Human Rights Day.
The Foreign Minister also appealed to the Muslim countries to use their political influence and economic clout to prevent India from committing atrocities in illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
He said that the Kashmiris were continuously being subjected to a brutal military siege and inhuman restrictions.
Deploring the state-sponsored terrorism and crimes against humanity by Indian occupation forces against the people of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), Qureshi urged world powers to pressurize India to adhere to its international human rights obligations.
Counting on Pakistan’s efforts to highlight the Kashmir issue at international level, he said that through its successful foreign policy and narrative building efforts, Pakistan has successfully countered Indian narrative on terrorism and Kashmir.
