Chairman Senate Standing Committee on Interior, Senator A. Rehman Malik has urged the government to move International Criminal Court against Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his crimes against humanity in Indian Occupied Kashmir.
Speaking during a meeting of Senate Standing Committee on Kashmir Affairs & Gilgit Baltistan held in the Parliament House, Islamabad on Wednesday, Rehman Malik said that the government should have adopted preemptive policy prior to Indian move of revoking Articles 370 & 35-A, as during election campaign, Narendra Modi had promised that he will scrap the special status of Jammu and Kashmir once, he is re-elected.
He said that keeping in view the statements of Narendra Modi; the government should have devised a preemptive diplomatic strategy well in time that could have averted the revoking of Article 370 & 35-A.
Now despite lapse of 16 days of revoking of Article 370 & 35-A by India, the government of Pakistan neither could internationally pressurize the India to restore the special status of Kashmir nor could press India to uplift of curfew in the area, he added.
The Chairman Standing Committee on Interior said that he was astonished that the government was celebrating the UNSC’s closed-door consultations on Kashmir as a victory, adding that nothing came out of the UNSC’s meeting as India has not been asked to restore the special status of Indian Held Kashmir. He said that the world knows that Kashmir is disputed area since day first and it is one of the international known disputed subjects.
He advised the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to highlight before the world, the worst kind of human rights violations in Kashmir by Indian forces in Indian Occupied Kashmir. He said that he predicts today that India will be replicating Pulwama like incident to blame Pakistan for it to divert the world’s attention from the human rights violations being inflicting by Indian Forces under PM Modi’s command.
The Chairman of Standing Committee on Interior said that India has already planned to weed out Muslims from their native land and property through village defence committees.—INP
