ISLAMABAD, Nov 3 (KUNA) -- Pakistan Wednesday condemned the ongoing killing of innocent Kashmiris at the hands of Indian security forces in Indian-held Jammu and Kashmir and said that India would not be able to suppress the aspirations of Kashmiris for long.
Foreign office spokesman Abdul Basit urging India to demonstrate "the sincerity of purpose with concrete steps", said that New Delhi had been resorting to "brazen use of force to stifle the voice of Kashmiris." Talking to the Associated Press of Pakistan (APP), the spokesman asked the international community to take strong notice of Indian atrocities in Jammu and Kashmir and help resolve the decades-old Kashmir dispute in accordance with the aspirations of Kashmiris.
The international community, especially the major powers should not look the other way, giving India "carte blanche" to continue with human rights violations in blatant violation of UN Charter and Universal Declaration of Human Rights, he said, adding, the resolution of Kashmir dispute was also a sina qua non for viable peace in South Asia.
Pakistan and India, the two South Asian nuclear rivals, have fought three wars on the Kashmir territory since 1947. (end) amn.gta KUNA 031339 Nov 10NNNN
