Qureshi urges India against use of force in Kashmir

NEW YORK: Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi, condemning the brutal use of force on unarmed demonstrators in the India-occupied Kashmir, demanded the amicable resolution of Kashmir issue, Geo News reported Saturday.

Addressing a session of foreign ministers of Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC), Qureshi demanded the Indian rulers to respect the human rights of Kashmiri people and halt the atrocious mishandling of them.

Demanding an immediate and peaceful solution of Kashmir issue, he thanked the OIC for extending support to Kashmir people in their struggle.

Qureshi also voiced concerns over the currency of hate-registered incidents against Muslims.

Pakistan will continue to completely back up Palestine for a peace in Middle East, he stressed.
