ISLAMABAD: Minister for Kashmir Affairs and Gilgit-Baltistan Ali Amin Gandapur on Saturday said that Indian troops were committing grave human rights violations in Occupied Kashmir.
Talking to journalists, Ali Amin Gandapur urged the international community to play their due role in resolving the Kashmir issue. He asked the world leaders to back the Kashmiri people’s drive for self-determination.
He said the current UNHRC report exposed the tyrannical face of India and acknowledged the violations of human rights in the occupied valley. The minister said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government is making all efforts for the resolution of Kashmir issue.
Gandapur said that Pakistan wants peace with India but the desire should not be taken as weakness and added that resolution of Kashmir issue is the top priority of the PTI government.
