APHC leader Asiya Andrabi has said that only condemnation by Pakistan of the killings of Kashmiris by Indian troops was not enough, it should suspend all diplomatic relations with India and recall its high commissioner.

India’s ambassador to the UN, Syed Akbaruddin, said that Pakistan as a country “covets the territory of others and uses terrorism as state policy towards that misguided end”, reported NDTV.
Pakistan’s Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had dubbed the killing of Wani as a violation of human rights.
He was responding to Lodhi who apart from raising the Kashmir issue had also mentioned the “extra-judicial” killing of Wani, whom she described as a “Kashmiri leader”, by Indian forces.
The spokesman said United Nations chief regretted the loss of lives in the clashes between protesters and security forces in Indian Occupied Kashmir and called for “maximum restraint”.
“Rock-throwing at demonstrations is serious but does not provide police a free pass to use force against protesters”, Ganguly said in a statement.
“We demand a solution of the Kashmir conflict based on freely expressed wishes of the people. The Kashmir Committee must be rejuvenated and the representatives from Jammu Kashmir must be included in it”, he said.
Kashmir has been beleaguered since 1947, when India and Pakistan gained independence from Britain but disagreed on which country would get the Himalayan region.
Recently, on Wednesday, Pakistan’s Army General Raheel Sharif also condemned the killing of Wani.
“Such inhumane and oppressive measures can not deter the valiant people of Jammu and Kashmir from their demand of exercising their right to self-determination in accordance with the UN Security Council resolutions”, he said.
Over 200,000 people attended his funeral and India certainly can’t think each of those in attendance could be called militants or terrorists.

Shah urged Pakistan to highlight the present grave situation of Kashmir through its embassies across the world with a message that Kashmiris are suffering worst at the hands of India and that the Kashmir dispute needs an immediate resolution.
