Pakistan on Friday categorically rejected India’s claim that Indian Kashmir is an integral part of the latter.
Reacting to the statement of Pakistan Prime Minster Nawaz Sharif, in which he said that, “A day will come when Kashmir will accede to Pakistan”.
Black laws like the public safety act, the Jammu and Kashmir forces special powers act and other punitive measures which should be immediately repealed since there are repugnant to fundamental rights and human dignity encoded in the universal laws and civilized norms.
By uttering these words, in fact, the prime minister is challenging the authority of India and inviting more trouble not only for Pakistan but Kashmiris also, it said. “You will never be able to make this heaven on earth a haven for terrorists”, she said, while lambasting Pakistani leaders for giving very irresponsible statements about Jammu and Kashmir.
Sharif asked his supporters during a rally in Muzaffarabad “not to forget those in Kashmir who are sacrificing their lives for their movement for freedom”.
Professor Radha Kumar in an interview in New Delhi said that it was for the first time in the history of India that people, cutting across party lines, religion, caste and creed, had been impressing upon Government of India to find a permanent resolution of the Kashmir dispute.
He urged the UN, International Community and the Human Rights Organizations to play their role in stopping the Indian atrocities in the Indian Occupied Kashmir against innocent Kashmiris. “We want to build an emotional relationship with Kashmir”, he said. Kashmiris in IOK are facing the worst form of state terrorism at the hands of Indian occupation forces.
Swaraj had also lashed out at Pakistan for glorifying the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani.
