UNITED NATIONS: Pakistan’s Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar has urged the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to ensure implementation of its resolutions on Kashmir in letter and spirit, saying India is committing sheer human right violations on Innocent Kashmiris for the last 7 decades.
While addressing the 78th United Nations General Assembly session, Pakistan’s caretaker PM said that the resolution of long-standing Kashmir dispute is key to maintain peace in the region, including Pakistan and India.
He blamed India for committing violations of UN resolutions on Kashmir that call for the ‘final disposition’ of Jammu and Kashmir to be decided through UN-supervised plebiscite.
The PM discussed on range of issues including cross-border terrorist attacks against Pakistan by Afghanistan-based TTP; the Palestine tragedy; the threat posed by far-right groups like Hindutva-inspired extremists, the flood devastations in Pakistan, and the issue of Islamophobia.
He said that Pakistan always desires peaceful and productive relations with all our neighbours, including India, However India on the other hand is hell bent upon committing human right violations in Occupied Kashmir.
The PM said Pakistan condemns the cross-border terrorist attacks against the country by terrorist organizations such as TTP, Da’esh and other groups operating from Afghanistan.
He also called the international community to support Afghan people in this tough time.
Pakistan’s PM also highlighted the Islamophobia saying it has been an age-old phenomenon; however, after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, it has assumed epidemic proportions, as manifested in the negative profiling of Muslims; and attacks on Islamic sites and symbols, such as the recent public burnings of the Holy Quran.
The PM also sought help from the International Community to cope with the 2022 floods that struck Pakistan leaving thousands people including women and children dead, besides causing more than $30 billion damages to national economy.
