Natural consequence of Pakistan’s oppressive approach: MEA on PoK violence

Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal on Friday held Pakistan’s oppressive approach responsibile for violent clashes in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, resulting in the deaths of eight people.”We have seen reports of protests across several areas of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, including acts of brutality by Pakistani forces against innocent civilians. This is a natural consequence of Pakistan’s oppressive approach, and they must be held accountable,” said Jaishwal during a media briefing. At least eight people have been killed in four days of violent protests in Pakistani-controlled Kashmir, reported Reuters quoting Pakistani officials on Thursday, and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif set up a committee of senior officials to resolve the ongoing clashes.”Pakistan must be held accountable for its horrific human rights violations,” said MEA on Pakistan’s crackdown on protesters in PoK.Three policemen and five civilians have been killed so far, two security officials in Islamabad told Reuters. The officials said clashes between demonstrators and police had not abated since the protests began on Monday.Live EventsAdd as a Reliable and Trusted News Source Add Now!
