Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi has expressed profound remorse over the international community’s failure to break its prolonged silence over the heightened Indian brutality and the worsening predicament of the Kashmiri people, who stand justified and resilient in their struggle for freedom.
On Wednesday, while addressing a seminar on “Pakistan-India Relations and Acceleration of Freedom Movement in Occupied Kashmir”, held at the Institute of Policy Study, FM Qureshi commended the will and resilience of the Kashmiris, who stand dedicated to their justified demands for freedom despite the surmounting aggression and atrocities of the Indian occupation. FM Qureshi said, “The Kashmiri are committed to their struggle for independence in face of Indian brutality and violence”.
Radio Pakistan reports that Mushal Malik, the wife Hurriyat leader Yasin Malik was also present at the seminar, and she condemned the “draconian laws” that are in practice throughout the Indian-occupied valley of Kashmir.
Referring to Modi’s misadventure and provocative warmongering, FM Qureshi made it clear that Pakistan countered New Delhi’s attempts to incite aggression and violence in the aftermath of the Pulwama attack with a “befitting response”. He warned against the warmongering mindset of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and urged the Pakistani nation and international community to “remain alert”.
FM Qureshi highlighted the need to develop a national consensus on the question of national security, and he announced his initiative of writing letters to the parliamentary representatives of various political parties, including leaders of both, Pakistan Muslim League and Pakistan People’s Party.
However, he expressed his disappointment over the hesitation and disinclination exhibited in the response he received from the opposition parties. FM Qureshi maintained that while their response was not negative, the parliamentary and opposition leaders he contacted were “hesitant to act promptly” on matters of national security.

Condemning the brutalities of the Indian occupation army, Senator Rehman Malik noted that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, the Indian army has been given the liberty to commit unchecked and unprecedented acts of brutality and violence in Kashmir. Troop deployment in the valley has exceeded beyond the number of 700,000, who are free to kill, repress, rape and torture innocent and unarmed Kashmiris. He condemned the mass murders, mass pellet gun attacks and numerous cases of blinding, the enforced disappearances, rapes, political prisoners, torture and custodial deaths, and the rampant suppression of freedom in Indian occupied Kashmir.
Senator Malik stated that Kashmir is “Pakistan’s jugular vein” and the people of Pakistan are, and have always been, standing behind the innocent people of Kashmir in their justified struggle for freedom against Indian oppression and illegal occupation. Malik highlighted Modi’s strategy of “ethnic cleansing” of the Muslim majority in Kashmir by carrying out “mass murders” and the migration of “RSS trained families”, who are increasingly setting in Kashmir.

The PPP leader said, “These RSS trained families are being allotted houses and properties in Kashmir as part of the strategy to reduce the population of Muslims and turn them into a minority, which is a clear violation of their rights. RSS has already proposed its strategy of developing 5000 Village Defense Committees in Indian-Occupied Kashmir”.
