Full text of joint statement from meeting on Kashmir

A joint statement for the parliamentary session was released following the meeting. 

The statement read; that the people, the government, the political parties and the armed forces of Pakistan are firmly united in supporting the Kashmiri people's right to self-determination, as guaranteed to them by the UNSC resolutions. 

It condemned the continued killings of innocent Kashmiris, which are a grave violation of human rights, and of international humanitarian laws. 

The statement recognized that Indian occupation forces have killed more than 110 innocent civilians, including women and children, and blinded over 700 people by use of pellet guns in the last 87 days. 

That the recent unprovoked Indian aggression and repeated ceasefire violations pose a threat to regional peace and security. 

The statement deplored the continued use of draconian laws against the Kashmiris and recurring curfews in Indian occupied Kashmir which have aggravated the miseries of the local population, which are in clear violations of international human rights conventions.

It rejected the Indian government's ridiculous claims that Kashmir is an integral part of India, when India itself took the Jammu and Kashmir dispute to the UNSC, thereby accepting it as an international dispute between two sovereign UN members. 

The statement condemned India's documented interference in Balochistan, a federating unit of sovereign Pakistan. 

Further the statement condemned the attempts by India to destabilise Pakistan as substantiated by the capture and confession of serving Indian naval officer from RAW Kubashan Yadav.

The statement applauded the bravery and unwavering commitment of the armed forces of Pakistan for their befitting response to Indian aggression.
