KMS, Islamabad: Pakistan has strongly condemned the continuing extrajudicial killings in staged encounters and fake cordon-and-search operations, as well arbitrary detentions and crimes against humanity by Indian occupation forces in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).

The Foreign Office Spokesperson in a statement issued in Islamabad said, deteriorating security and human rights situation in the occupied territory is a matter of grave concern for the international community.

“We also strongly condemn India’s ongoing propaganda to malign the indigenous and just struggle of the people of Kashmir for their right to self-determination, by raising the bogey of ‘terrorism’”, he said.

He said, Pakistan has also been alerting the international community about India’s track record of orchestrating false-flag operations to undermine the Kashmir freedom movement. Equally condemnable is the RSS-BJP combine’s ploy to demonize Kashmiri Muslims, by stirring up communal tensions, he added.

He urged India to halt its state-terrorism, refrain from propaganda against Kashmiris, lift its suffocating military siege and let the people of IIOJK exercise their right to self-determination as promised in various UN Security Council resolutions.
