Pakistan on Saturday rejected Ind
ian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s preposterous and fallacious claims about ‘democracy’ in the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and K
ashmir (IIOJK), following the so-called election of District Development Council.
“The RSS-BJP brand of ‘democracy’ only means the
muzzling of the K
ashmiri voice and will, under the bayonets of Indian army guns. The ‘new chapter’ that the RSS-BJP regime is writing in IIOJK is one marked by brutal military siege since 5 August 2019, egregious violations of human rights in the occupied territory, and untold sufferings for the K
ashmiri people,” foreign office spokesperson said in a press release.
According to spokesperson the false Indian narratives could neither deceive the K
ashmiri people nor mislead the international community. “Nor can they divert attention from the core issue of the K
ashmiris̵
7; inalienab
le right to self-determination,” it was added.
Rather than resorting to diversions and obfuscations, the spokesperson said, India should end its illegal occupation and meet its obligation of holding a plebiscite allowing the K
ashmiris to exercise their right of self-determination as enshrined in the relevant UN Security Council resolutions.
Meanwhile, India’s government detained at least 75 political leaders and activists in occupied K
ashmir to forestall political unrest after an alliance of regional political parties won a local election, leaders and a police official said on Saturday.
