Shah Mahmood Qureshi apprised the OIC secretary general of the worsening human rights and humanitarian situation in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu & Kashmir (IIOJK) since India’s illegal and unilateral actions of August 5, 2019. The foreign minister highlighted that India has promulgated new domicile rules and introduced amendments in landownership laws to alter the demographic structure of the occupied territory, which is a clear violation of the relevant UN and OIC resolutions and international law. The minister said that besides continued lockdown, military siege and communication blackout for over one year, occupation forces have intensified repression of the Kashmiri population through extra-judicial killings in fake “encounters” and “collective punishment” for Kashmiri communities and neighbourhoods. The foreign minister appreciated the OIC’s consistent support on the Jammu and Kashmir dispute. Both the foreign minister and the secretary general agreed to remain in touch regarding matters related to the OIC and the Muslim Ummah.
