Pak to take up issue at
UN
Islamabad: Pakistan on Wednesday urged the international community, particularly the UN, the OIC and human rights organisations to take notice of “grave human rights violations” in Jammu and Kashmir. ''Pakistan has set in motion the process to raise the issue at various levels in the wake of the brutal killings in Kashmir.” |
New Delhi, August 13
The war of words between India and Pakistan over the situation in Jammu and Kashmir intensified today with New Delhi blasting Islamabad for indulging in rhetoric and allegations that were factually incorrect and divorced from reality.
“To call for international involvement in the sovereign internal affairs of India is gratuitous, illegal and only reflects reversion to a mindset that has led to no good consequences for Pakistan in the past,” an external affairs ministry spokesperson said in a strongly worded statement.
The statement said it was not too late for Pakistani leaders and spokesmen to desist from the course of action that they had recently embarked upon and New Delhi would urge them to do so forthwith.
“We are witnessing a recurrence of Pakistani rhetoric and allegations that are factually wrong and that bear no relationship to reality.”
United Nations: The United Nations is monitoring the situation in Kashmir but doesn’t have any "extensive comment" to make at this stage, a spokesman for the world body said today. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon “is also aware of the situation but I don't have anything further to say at present," he added.
