Foreign OfficePakistan welcomes UK Parliamentary Group’s Report on Jammu and Kashmir

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: Pakistan has welcomed the Report of the UK Parliament’s All Party Parliamentary Group on Kashmir (APPKG) on the human rights situation in Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IoK) (UK Parliamentary Group’s Report on Jammu and Kashmir).

“Pakistan welcomes the APPKG’s Report on Jammu and Kashmir as well as its recommendations,” the Foreign Office Spokesman Dr Mohammad Faisal said in a statement issued on Wednesday.

The Spokesman said that Pakistan believes that the lasting solution of the Jammu & Kashmir dispute is essential for peace, security and stability of South Asia and beyond.

Dr Faisal said that India’s denials of this reality, its unwillingness to engage in dialogue and suppression of Kashmiri aspirations for freedom continue to endanger regional as well as international peace and security.

The APPKG’s Report on Jammu and Kashmir echoes many of the findings of the UN OHCHR Report on Jammu and Kashmir already published and is critical of the human rights atrocities being committed with impunity by Indian occupation forces in IoK, especially the use of pellet guns, draconian laws including the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) and the Public Safety Act (PSA).

The report also mentions presence of unmarked graves in IoK and enforced disappearances, which confirm the humanitarian emergency in IoK.

The report follows the visit of a nine-member delegation of the APPKG to Islamabad and Azad Jammu and Kashmir. The group’s report, following the visit, is a damning indictment for India and an encouraging step forward after the UN OHCHR Report.

Both the APPKG’s Report and the UN OHCHR Report underscore the contrast between the human right situation in Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir and Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
