French lawmakers informed of Indian atrocities in occupied Kashmir

PARIS: India has once again unleashed a reign of terror in Indian Occupied Kashmir since July this year. There has been a wide spread repression and excessive use of force by Indian security forces as a result of which over 115 Kashmiris have been martyred and thousands injured.

These views were emphatically underscored by the Special Envoys of the Prime Minister of Pakistan on Jammu and Kashmir, Senator Raza Farooq and Rana Muhammad Afzal Khan, during their meeting on Thursday with French parliamentarians at the French National Assembly. 

They said that over 150 people have been injured through indiscriminate use of pellet guns. The indigenous and spontaneous uprising of Kashmiris against Indian tyranny, demanding their just right of freedom and self-determination, will not be suppressed by brutal atrocities and horrific human rights violations perpetrated by the Indian occupation forces in occupied Kashmir.

They said that Pakistan strongly rejects unfounded accusations by India to deflect the world attention from its state terrorism in Indian Occupied Kashmir.

The Special Envoys urged France, being a permanent member of the UN Security Council, to play its due role in resolving the longstanding dispute of Jammu and Kashmir in accordance with the wishes of Kashmiri people and UN Security Council resolutions.

They stressed that international community should pressurise India to stop the bloodshed of innocent Kashmiris and resolve the dispute through a peaceful and meaningful dialogue with Pakistan and the Kashmiri people.
