Pakistan Urges Global Community To Work Towards Ending ‘Persistent Clampdown’ In Kashmir news18.com
Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Thursday urged the international community, especially the United Nations Security Council, to work towards ending what he called a “persistent clampdown” imposed by the Indian government in Kashmir.
Pakistan has been unsuccessfully trying to drum up international support against India for its decision to withdraw Jammu and Kashmir’s special status and bifurcate the state into Union Territories.
After India’s decision on August 5, Pakistan downgraded diplomatic ties with New Delhi and expelled the Indian High Commissioner from the country. India has asserted that the abrogation of Article 370 was its “internal matter” and has asked Islamabad to accept the reality and stop its anti-India rhetoric.
In his message on the occasion of the UN Day, observed on October 24, Qureshi said the world body has played an active role in the struggle against colonialism and in promoting fundamental human rights.
