G20 summit in IIOJK futile exercise on India’s part: Kaira

Bagh, May 22, 2023 (PPI-OT): Advisor to the Prime Minister on Kashmir Affairs and Gilgit-Baltistan Qamar Zaman Kaira has said that India cannot hide the worst human rights situation in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) by holding a G20 meeting. Qamar Zaman Kaira in a media interview in Bagh, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, today, said: “By holding G-20 summit in IIoJK, India wants to convey a message to the world that all is good in the valley, but it will prove a futile exercise on New Delhi’s part.”

He lashed out at India for its ulterior motives behind the summit which was meant to deceive and mislead the world. The Modi government’s intention was to dampen the morale of the people of Occupied Kashmir by creating a smokescreen before the world, he added. He emphasized that the unwavering spirit of freedom among the Kashmiri people remained steadfast, and the entire Pakistani nation stood united in solidarity with Kashmiri brethren. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, he said the entire Pakistani nation condemned the holding of the summit in G-20.

Kaira said Pakistan’s outreach to friendly countries and member states of G-20 had been bearing fruits as several countries had decided not to participate in the moot. He categorically stated that Pakistan was against India’s decision to hold a G20 summit in the disputed territory. The advisor said India had been oppressing Kashmiris through use of force and propaganda, and by denying their fundamental rights.

The main objective was to strip them off their identity and suppress their unwavering determination. Kashmiris had never succumbed to the Indian subjugation and would never do so, he added. He said the international community should play a proactive role to resolving Kashmir issue as per the resolutions of the United Nations.
