New Delhi, August 11: India has condemned the violence against protesters and the general populace in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). During a press briefing on Tuesday, Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal urged the international community to hold Pakistan accountable for human rights abuses.
In response to questions regarding the violence in PoK, Jaiswal stated, “We are closely monitoring activities in our neighborhood. We are observing how human rights are being violated in Pakistan. So far, 90 people have lost their lives. The demands of the people are being met with bullets and internet shutdowns. Everyone can see how Pakistan is oppressing its citizens.”
He appealed to the world to pay attention to these issues, saying, “We have witnessed human rights violations. We have seen how people have been killed and mistreated. This once again highlights that Pakistan has a lot to do in the field of human rights. Recent violence has resulted in fatalities. It is now the responsibility of the international community to focus on this and hold Pakistan accountable.”
Regarding the recent defense pact signed between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, the MEA spokesperson remarked, “We are closely monitoring developments in West Asia. We are looking at it from the perspective of its impact on India’s security and the peace and stability of the region. India is fully committed to safeguarding its national interests and will take necessary steps accordingly.”
Recently, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey signed the Makkah Defense Pact, which states that any military attack on one country will be considered an attack on all three.
