ISLAMABAD: Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Asim Iftikhar on Sunday exposed India's nefarious activities and said that the country is operating five training camps for UN-designated terrorist organisation Daesh, Geo News reported.

According to a statement, the FO spokesperson said that "it is a matter of concern that India is training Daesh terrorists."

Speaking about the atrocities India has committed in IOJK, the FO spokesperson provided statistics and said that about 8,226 mass graves have been discovered in Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IOJK). He said that the graves were dug by Indian forces after they brutally killed killing innocent Kashmiris.

Iftikhar said that the Indian forces have set up 239 target cells, while, 30,000 people have been subjected to severe torture since 2014. He added that 231 Kashmiris were electrocuted, more than 15,000 people were injured in pellet gun attacks and the Indian government also allowed its forces to use chemical weapons in the region. 

Per the statement, the Indian army had raped more than 3,800 Kashmiri women, while according to a British newspaper, about 8,000 to 10,000 people were missing in occupied Kashmir.

Iftikhar said that 15,495 sieges and search operations had been carried out in occupied Kashmir since 2014, with 13,000 children being detained by India.

India has six draconian laws that can declare any person a terrorist, he said while also referring to an incident in December 2020 where Indian police had killed three youths and declared them terrorists. 

It was reported that since 2014, India has continued to violate ceasefire, resulting in the deaths of 198 people.

Pakistan presents another dossier exposing Indian atrocities in occupied Kashmir

Meanwhile, Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi Sunday exposed Indian atrocities in IOJK through a 131-page dossier.

In a joint press conference with Federal Minister for Human Rights Shireen Mazari and National Security Adviser Moeed Yusuf, Qureshi unveiled the dossier and explained its contents.

Qureshi explained that the dossier prepared by Pakistan outlines Indian aggression and barbarism in IOJK.

The dossier comprises incriminating audio, video and documentary evidence on gross human rights violations, war crimes, genocide and torture against the Kashmiris by India in IOJK.

Detailing the contents of the dossier, Qureshi said that it contains three chapters and 113 references, 26 of which are international media review reports, and 41 are reports from Indian media and think tanks.

He added that it also contains 32 references to international human rights organisations and 14 references from Pakistan.

Speaking on Indian atrocities, Qureshi said that 900,000 Indian troops are stationed within IOJK, likening the situation in the restive region to an open-air prison. 

Recalling Syed Ali Geelani's funeral, Qureshi added that his own family members were not allowed to attend the funeral and were instead tortured and Geelani's body forcibly buried.

He further said that independent observers are not allowed within IIOJK and the realities from Kashmir are distorted.

Qureshi proclaimed that the Indian atrocities will be exposed in the dossier as it contains solid evidence of "fake encounters" and India's tactic of framing Kashmiri freedom fighters as "terrorists".

He added that weapons are planted in the homes of innocent Kashmiris.

Qureshi also talked about the Kashmir Reorganisation Bill 2019 which merged Jammu and Kashmir within the Indian Union, removing its autonomy.
