Islamabad, November 19, 2021 (PPI-OT):Pakistan has strongly condemned the spate of extra-judicial killing of Kashmiris by Indian forces in recent weeks including the martyrdom of nine Kashmiris in the last few days. The Foreign Office Spokesperson, Asim Iftikhar, said at a briefing in Islamabad said, “At least 30 Kashmiris have been extra-judicially killed in fake encounters and so-called ‘cordon and search operations’ since October 01, 2021.”
“It is repugnant that in many instances even the mortal remains of the martyred Kashmiris are not being handed over to their families for religious rites,” he lamented. The spokesperson said, the Jammu and Kashmir dispute has to be resolved in accordance with the relevant resolutions of the UN Security Council and the wishes of the Kashmiri people. “Pakistan will continue to provide all possible support for the realisation of that objective,” he added.
