World must make India answerable on Kashmir: FO

Srinagar, August 21, 2020 (PPI-OT): The Foreign Office has said the world community must make India answerable for human rights violations in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJJ). The Foreign Office spokesperson in an interaction with The News expressed serious reservations over the ongoing situation in the Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

Regarding OIC’s role, he said it has indeed played an important role in the context of Jammu and Kashmir dispute. It has established a Contact Group on Jammu and Kashmir and has also appointed a Special Envoy of the Secretary General on the Jammu and Kashmir dispute.

“The Contact Group on Jammu and Kashmir has held four meetings so far on the dispute of Kashmir since India’s illegal and unilateral actions of 5th August 2019. Three of those meetings were held at the level of foreign ministers,” added the spokesman.

“As for OIC’s role on Jammu and Kashmir dispute, I have already responded to this. There have been four meetings of the OIC Contact Group on Jammu and Kashmir and three of them were at the level of foreign ministers. You must have also read the communiques issued after those OIC Contact Group meetings. OIC has a clear position on the Jammu and Kashmir dispute.

They continue condemning the Indian actions and calling for a just resolution of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute in accordance with the UNSC resolutions. You must have also seen the statements and tweets by the OIC’s Independent Permanent Human rights Commission. They have spoken openly about the Indian atrocities in IOJ and K. The OIC has and continues to play an important role on the Jammu and Kashmir dispute.
