Islamabad, April 24, 2022 (PPI-OT):Pakistan has strongly condemned the unabated killing spree being perpetrated by Indian forces in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), causing martyrdom of three more Kashmiri youth in Baramulla district. More than 580 innocent Kashmiris have, so far, been martyred by Indian occupation forces since India’s illegal and unilateral actions of 5 August 2019.

The Foreign Office Spokesperson in a statement in Islamabad said that the growing number of extra-judicial killings in fake encounters and staged cordon and search operations (CASOs) in IIOJK during the holy month of Ramadan only highlighted the ugly reality of India’s illegal occupation and the extremist anti-Muslim designs of the “Hindutva” inspired BJP-RSS combine in India.

He said that the Kashmiri youth, who had been a specific target of the Indian forces, however, remained unfazed in its determination to thwart the Indian designs of subjugating the Kashmiris with the use of unbridled force. “Pakistan reiterates its call for investigation of extra-judicial killings in IIOJK by the Commission of Inquiry as recommended by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) in its Kashmir reports of 2018 and 2019,” the Spokesperson added.

He called upon the international community to play its role in ensuring a just and peaceful resolution of the lingering Kashmir dispute in accordance with the relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions and the wishes of the Kashmiri people for permanent peace and stability in South Asia.
