Pakistan condemns extra-judicial killings of Kashmiris: FO

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan strongly condemned the extrajudicial killings of five innocent Kashmiris in the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) on Tuesday, ARY NEWS reported quoting Foreign Office.

According to a Foreign Office release, the Hindutva-inspired BJP-RSS combine is carrying on its campaign of brutal repression and collective punishment of Kashmiris in IIOJK. “Simultaneously, a false propaganda war against Kashmiris and Pakistan continues unabated,” it said.

The foreign office further said that the allegations surrounding the arrest of an allegedly Pakistani individual in New Delhi today are part of India’s well-known efforts to divert the world attention from its egregious human rights violations and illegal actions in IIOJK, and well-documented oppression of Muslims and other minorities in India.

“The Indian propaganda based on lies and deceit only reconfirms Pakistan’s apprehensions that, as it has done in the past, India is plotting false flag operations to blame Pakistan and Kashmiris.”

It said that neither Pakistan nor Kashmiris can be deterred by the propagation of falsehood and they would continue to stand with Kashmiris in their just struggle for the right to self-determination, as promised to them by the United Nations through various Security Council Resolutions.
