ISLAMABAD: Prime minister’s Foreign Affairs Adviser Sartaj Aziz has demanded international investigations into the attack on Indian Army Brigade Headquarters in Uri.

In an interview with BBC, he said that India always accused Pakistan immediately after any attack without any investigations. Therefore, an independent international commission should be constituted to unearth the facts, he said.

Sartaj Aziz said a forceful and peaceful freedom movement is going on in Held Kashmir these days – which has drawn attention of the entire world – and any such attack does not benefit Pakistan or Kashmiris. He said such attacks divert world attention from grave human rights violations being committed by Indian forces in Held Kashmir.

Aziz said it is not for the first time that India has leveled baseless allegations against Pakistan and recalled that when United States then-President Bill Clinton arrived on a visit to subcontinent in March 2000, a major terrorist incident took place in Kashmir.

“India blamed Pakistan for the massacre as usual but later it was proved that India had itself perpetrated the killings,” Aziz said.
