ISLAMABAD: Indian-Held Kashmir (IHK) All Parties Hurriyet Conference (APHC) Chairman Syed Ali Gilani said that United Nations Security Council’s (UNSC) resolutions provide the best practical solution to the lingering Kashmir dispute.
In a statement in Srinagar on Sunday, Syed Ali Gilani urged the international community to take a serious note of Indian forces’ human rights violations in the occupied territory.
Meanwhile, several people were injured when Indian forces fired teargas on hundreds of protesters. Protestors defied Indian Army Chief Bipin Rawat’s warning and staged protests in many areas of Pulwama against the brutalities of Indian forces and raised anti-India and pro-freedom slogans.
On the other hand, a political storm is brewing in occupied Jammu and Kashmir over Narendra Modi government’s proposal to introduce a bill in the Indian parliament seeking to extend the jurisdiction of the Collection of Statistics Act, 2008, to the disputed territory.
Kashmiris are apprehensive that the proposed bill is another attempt to weaken the special status of Jammu and Kashmir under the Article 370.
