Pak issues dossier on Indian actions in Kashmir
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Sunday shared with the world another dossier comprising incriminating audio, video and documentary evidence on gross human rights violations and war crimes against the Kashmiris.
The 131-page document, along with a CD comprising 15 audio and several video recordings, GPS data co-ordinates of five Indian funded and managed ISIS (ISKP) training camps, graphic pictures of victims of the suspected use of chemical weapons also carrying documentary proofs of how the Narendra Modi regime was trying to portray the Kashmir freedom struggle as a terrorist activity.
Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi, National Security Adviser Dr Moeed Yusuf and Minister for Human Rights Dr Shireen Mazari shared the document with the media at a special briefing.
They demanded of the international community; including the United Nations and its relevant human rights machinery, civil society organisations, media houses and other defenders of human rights to fulfil their obligations towards Kashmiris by playing their part.
“We expect the United Nations to compel the Government of India to allow free access to Special Procedure Mandate Holders of the UN Human Rights Council for independent investigations of human rights violations,” Qureshi said.
The document covers accounts of 3,432 cases of war crimes in which 1,178 personnel of Indian forces have been found to be involved including one Major General, four Inspectors General, seven Deputy Inspectors-general, five Brigadiers, 31 Colonels and 188 Majors and Captains.
The foreign minister also demanded that the UN record names of individuals and units involved in war crimes and place sanctions on the individuals and entities.
The document states that since actions in Kashmir largely remain unreported, “a comprehensive dossier on Indian Human Rights Violations has been compiled which underscores that Indian government continues to obliterate Kashmiri indigenous identity’ due to differences in religion, culture, ethnicity and political views.”
