UNITED NATIONS: With the situation in Indian Held Kashmir sharply deteriorating, Pakistan on Wednesday raised the issue in the United Nations General Assembly, making a clarion call for allowing the oppressed Kashmiris their UN pledged right to self-determination to ensure peace and security in South Asia. “Denial of self-determination to the people of Indian Held Kashmir has resulted in some of the most atrocious human rights violations, including rape, torture, arbitrary detentions and summary executions,” Ambassador Maleeha Lodhi said in a high-level thematic debate of the 193-member UNGA on human rights. “Its most chilling recent example is the extrajudicial killing last week of a Kashmiri leader Burhan Wani by the Indian forces along with dozens of other in**cent Kashmiris,” she told delegates from around the world. Wani’s death sparked off huge demonstrations across Jammu and Kashmir on Friday.Government forces fired live rounds and tear gas killing 36 people. Violence in the Indian Held Kashmir is the worst seen in the state for years. Some 800 extra troops are being sent to help restore order. More than 250 other people have been injured in clashes. “The occupation forces are resorting to brutal acts to suppress the right to self-determination of Kashmiri people promised to them by several UN Security Council resolutions,” Ambassador Lodhi said. Despite the Indian suppression, she said, Kashmiris were determined to continue their struggle for freedom from foreign occupation.“Sixty-eight years after the UNSC first called for a UN conducted plebiscite to allow the Kashmiri people to exercise their right to self-determination, the fulfillment of this pledge remains the only way to resolve this longstanding dispute and establish durable peace and security in South Asia,” Ambassador Lodhi told the General Assembly. Universal realisation of the right to self-determination will help to resolve several conflicts and prevent the violation of human rights in different parts of the world, she added.Responding to Pakistan’s statement, India’s UN Ambassador Syed Akbaruddin levelled familiar charges that Pakistan supports terrorism and covets the territory of other countries, obviously meaning Kashmir. He accused Pakistan of misusing the UN platform by raising the Kashmir issue. أكثر... ??????? ??????: Indian excesses in IHK continue unabated: Maleeha || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
