Author: Staff Report

ISLAMABAD: Senator A. Rehman Malik President PPP Overseas and former Interior Minister of Pakistan has written a letter to the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (UUNHCR against the recent ongoing killings of innocent people by Indian forces in Indian held Kashmir and has asked him to move against the Indian government and take necessary actions under the Charter of the United Nations. Senator A.

Rehman Malik wrote:”The Indian forces have butchered more than 45 people and more than 300 have been seriously injured in this barbarism which started on Friday. Expressing his displeasure over the silence of international human rights organisations, Senator A. Rehman Malik wrote to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights that no action had been taken by international human rights organisations whereas there should have been a visit by the UN Human Rights Commission to investigate these utter and sheer violations of human rights in Indian-held Kashmir. Senator A. Rehman Malik has also written that it is not for the first time but the same had happened about 16 years ago in 2010 in which more than 120 innocent young Kashimiris were killed by the Indian Army. Senator A. Rehman Malik expressed his hope and appealed the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights to appoint a commission to investigate these killings adding that the matter should also be raised in the UN General Assembly with the proposed resolution asking the Indian government to stop the brutality in Indian-held Kashmir.
