New Delhi: A TV footage of Pakistani atrocities in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir was released just a day after the country accused India of human rights violations in Jammu & Kashmir. A report that showed “massive human rights violations” in PoK showed the ISI picking and torturing youths who refused to join the cause of jihad. It also showed residents demanding freedom from Pakistan by raising pro-India and 'azadi' slogans, with young people protesting against the Pakistani government in Muzaffarabad, Gilgit, Kotli and several other areas.
Describing the video as “doctored”, Pakistan foreign secretary Aizaz Chaudhry said, “It's a propaganda. Pakistan has always raised the voice for the Kashmiris. The whole world is watching how Pakistani flags are being raised in Kashmir (Indian side). From our side it will only be political, moral and diplomatic support for them and that we will continue to extend but there is no answer for the propaganda.”
In his statement to the OIC meeting on Kashmir, Pakistan NSA Sartaj Aziz said, “Pakistan remains committed to finding a just and peaceful resolution to the J&K dispute. Pakistan's principled position on the Kashmir dispute is based on the UN Security Council resolutions, which remain unimplemented to this day. India decided to try to quell the Kashmiri struggle by use of brute force. As a result, more than 90,000 Kashmiris have been killed by Indian security forces over the last two decades in Indian-Occupied Kashmir.”
