British MPs concerned over worsening human rights violations in IoK
A British parliamentary delegation, on a visit to Pakistan, has expressed concern over the deteriorating human rights violations in Indian occupied Kashmir.
Addressing a news conference along with Azad Jammu and Kashmir President Sardar Masood Khan here on Thursday, the members of the delegation urged the international community to take notice of the Indian atrocities being inflicted on Kashmiri people in the occupied valley.
Member British Parliament Andrew Flint said the Kashmir dispute is a human rights issue and urged the world to listen to the voices of the Kashmiris.
“I stand with truth. It is the basic right of people to live with freedom and peace. The rest of the world needs to know what is happening in Kashmir,” he said.
Wajid Khan, another member of parliament and part of the delegation, strongly condemned the human rights violations in occupied Kashmir and said the blood of the Kashmiris is “as valuable as that of anyone living in Britain or any other country”.
“We want to listen to the Kashmiris’ voices by going there,” he said. “Kashmiris have to decide about their future themselves.”
The delegation said it would request the Indian ambassador back home to allow a fact-finding mission to visit occupied Kashmir.
The delegation also said it will visit Azad Kashmir tomorrow (Friday).
Azad Jammu and Kashmir President Sardar Masood Khan said the British parliamentarians are playing an important role in highlighting the Kashmir dispute.
He said particularly the Labour party is at the forefront and has expressed commitment to play its role in resolution of the lingering Kashmir dispute.
Sardar Masood called the Chief Minister of Jammu & Kashmir Mehbooba Mufti a “facilitator” in the murder of innocent Kashmiris and said she should resign if she cannot put an end to the atrocities.
