He said India terming Kashmir dispute as its internal affair was factually incorrect, legally untenable and indeed a violation of worldwide law and UN Security Council resolutions.

“Prime Minister has said time and again that dialogue with Pakistan will not be about Kashmir, it will be about terrorism and there is no compromise that is ever going to happen”, Shaina NC said.
The adviser declared that Pakistan “fully backs” All Parties Hurriyet Conference (APHC) leader Syed Ali Geelani’s four-point formula on Kashmir. Under Pakistani pressure, the OIC issues strong statements on the rights of the “Kashmiri” people but individual Islamic countries do not wish to upset their relations with India. “We need a permanent solution to this problem”, Aiyar said adding that when Government of India can reach out to the gun totting people of Nagaland, why it feels shy to reach out to the people of Kashmir.
Responding to opposition criticism that the Prime Minister was “beating drums” in Africa when Kashmir was burning, Singh said Modi was in touch with him during the tour also, enquiring about the situation and giving suggestions.
After Pakistan observed “Kashmir Accession to Pakistan Day” on July 19 and Black Day on Kashmir (July 20) to mark the killing of Hizbul commander Burhan Wani, India hit back on Thursday, demanding that Islamabad give up its illegal occupation of PoK (Pakistan occupied Kashmir) and stop supporting violence and terrorism on Indian territory.
Pakistan observes Black Day to protest alleged atrocities in J-K.
“Burhan Wani, a 22 year old Kashmiri leader, was killed by the Indian Forces on July 8, 2016”.
He said that India boast itself as a democracy but has suspended free movement and speech and restricted and even banned communication including television, mobile phones, internet and print and social media.
Additionally, the spokesperson asked the government of Pakistan to ensure safety and security of the Indian High Commission, all its officials and their families in Pakistan. “If terrorism is there in India, it is due to Pakistan which is sponsoring it”, Singh said in the Lok Sabha during a discussion on the situation in Jammu and Kashmir.
He said there were reports of Indian forces harassing hospital staff, doctors and paramedics and dissuading them from treating the injured.
Aziz said the Indian Armed Forces were using live ammunition on the mobs which had caused many civilian casualties. India also asked Pakistan to stop “misleading the worldwide community and Kashmiris through meaningless exercises such as the so-called elections on Thursday in POK”.
The government has made a decision to approach the Human Rights Council of the United Nations to send a fact-finding mission to occupied Kashmir for investigating the slaughter of innocent civilians.
