Bangladesh has reportedly backed its neighbour India and said it would soon come out with a declaration on alleged human rights abuses by Pakistan in its south-west region Balochistan. On one hand you make one of your leaders make a comment and on other the party through another leader disassociates from that remarks.
In recent weeks, both nuclear powers raised the tone following protests in Jammu and Kashmir, which since July 9 have caused at least 65 dead and thousands injured.
“The reference to Balochistan in this year’s Independence Day speech certainly signals a change in tone in the Modi government’s Pakistan policy”, said Lisa Curtis of The Heritage Foundation, a top Americana think-tank, which is considered close to the Republican establishment.
Pakistan says most United Nations security council members aware of continued human rights abuse.
The statement by the Indian State Minister is in violation of UN Security Council resolutions on Kashmir as well as India’s obligation under worldwide law, he said, adding the Foreign Secretary has extended an invitation to his Indian counterpart to visit Pakistan for talks on Jammu & Kashmir dispute, particularly, owing to the ongoing grave violations of human rights situation in the Indian occupied Kashmir.
Asked whether more dossiers would be presented to the United Nations about Indian involvement in subversive activities in Pakistan, the spokesman said investigations were in process following the arrest of Indian spy Kalbhushan Yadav.
Meanwhile, a senior RSS functionary on Wednesday said, India is “morally right” to rake up the Balochistan and Gilgit issue and claimed that Pakistan treats its own people like “third grade citizens” and uses bombs to crush muhajirs and provincial Independence movements.
Asked about Indian taking action against Amnesty International, he said it showed how India was treating the issue of human rights in Kashmir. Angry protestors set ablaze the Indian flag and chanted slogans against the Indian Prime Minister at many places.
He said the way people from these Pakistani regions “wished me well, gives me great joy”. “The government has already decided its stand that we need to take against Pakistan with regard to the matter of Jammu and Kashmir”, he told ANI.
Pakistan angered India by describing Wani, who India says was a militant belonging to the Hizbul Mujahideen group, as a Kashmiri leader.
