ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Sunday condemned the killing of Kashmiris in the Indian-occupied Kashmir during the ongoing unrest.
“The extrajudicial killing of Kashmiri leader Burhan Wani and scores of other innocent Kashmiris is deplorable and condemnable,” the Foreign Ministry said.
“Such acts are a violation of fundamental human rights of Kashmiris and cannot deter the people of Jammu and Kashmir from their demand for the realisation of the right to self-determination,” the ministry spokesperson said in a statement.
He said Pakistan also has serious concerns over the detention of Kashmiri leadership in Indian-occupied Kashmir and calls upon the Indian government to fulfill its human rights obligations as well as its commitments under the United Nations Security Council Resolutions.
“Pakistan reiterates that the resolution of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute is only possible by the realisation of the right to self-determination of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, as per the UNSC resolutions, through a fair and impartial plebiscite under UN auspices,” he said.
