STATEMENT ADDITION
STATEMENT FROM THE PAKISTANI HIGH COMMISSION:
Human rights abuses in Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir have been going on for decades. Mainstream and social media have brought intense international focus on ‘crimes against humanity’ committed by Indian forces against defenceless Kashmiris. To distract the world attention, India uses bogey of terrorism to malign Pakistan and portray indigenous peaceful self-determination movement of Kashmiris as terrorism, which the world has always rejected.
There are trove of accounts of Indian crimes against humanity, documented by international organizations such as UN, OHCHR- Geneva, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, International People’s Tribunal and international media.
There is undeniable evidence of Indian state sponsored terrorism in Pakistan and occupied Kashmir. Public statement of former US Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel, and confession of Indian spy Commander Kulbhushan Jhadav, confirm Indian involvement in financing terrorism in Pakistan. India’s own senior most police officer, S.M. Mashrif’s account in ‘Who killed Karkare’ describes how Hindu terrorist outfit RSS and Indian intelligence agencies have mastered the art of staging terrorist attacks and blaming it on others.
