Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Wednesday said that the voice and struggle of the people of Indian occupied Kashmir cannot be suppressed through the use of brutal force and human rights abuses.
He was talking to Chairman Special Committee of the Parliament on Kashmir and chief of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Maulana Fazlur Rehman who called on the PM at Raiwind.
A statement from the PM’s Camp Office said matters of national significance were discussed during the meeting.
The PM said the government and people of Pakistan respect the sentiments of their Kashmiri brethren and will continue to support the Kashmir cause at every international forum.
He said the resolution of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute was only possible through realisation of the right to self-determination of the people of Jammu and Kashmir according to the UNSC resolutions by holding a fair and impartial plebiscite under the United Nations.
The meeting reiterated the condemnation of the killing of Kashmiri leader Burhan Wani and many other civilians by the Indian military and paramilitary forces.
Rehman conveyed the sentiments of the Kashmiri leadership and people for Pakistan and said that the Kashmiri leadership looks towards Pakistan in difficult times.
The JUI-F chief apprised the PM on his recent talks with the Kashmiri leadership over the human rights violations by Indian military and paramilitary forces in Jammu and Kashmir.
He also enquired about the health of the PM after the surgery and extended his best wishes for his early recovery.
