India Condemns Pakistan’s Human Rights Abuses in PoJK
India has issued a sharp condemnation of Pakistan’s “grave human rights violations” in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK). The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) accused Islamabad of systematic oppression, enforced disappearances, and economic exploitation in the region, which India asserts is illegally occupied since 1947-48.
Key Allegations by India
The MEA’s statement outlined Pakistan’s alleged abuses in PoJK, including:
– Extrajudicial Killings & Torture: Activists report unlawful detentions, disappearances, and executions of political dissenters.
– Economic Deprivation: Resources are exploited by Pakistan while locals suffer unemployment and poor infrastructure.
– Violent Crackdowns on Protests: Peaceful demonstrations are met with live ammunition and mass arrests.
– Forced Annexation: The Gilgit-Baltistan Order (2018) has further disenfranchised locals.
Global Reactions & Pakistan’s Hypocrisy
While Pakistan campaigns against India at the UN, New Delhi has exposed Islamabad’s double standards, citing its own abuses in PoJK and Balochistan.
“Pakistan’s hands are stained with the blood of Kashmiris under its illegal occupation,” a senior Indian diplomat stated.
India’s Diplomatic Push for Accountability
India has intensified efforts to expose Pakistan’s violations globally:
– Sharing evidence with the US, EU, and UNHRC.
– Organizing diaspora-led protests in major cities.
Pakistan’s Weak Denials
Islamabad dismisses the claims as “propaganda,” but protests in Muzaffarabad and Mirpur reveal growing unrest against Pakistani rule.
Conclusion: Will the World Act?
India’s condemnation highlights its commitment to justice for PoJK residents. The international community faces pressure to hold Pakistan accountable.
