He said, non political organizations are raising Kashmir issue but unfortunately world powers are not taking effective measures to stop Indian atrocities in Indian occupied Kashmir.

Pakistan has pursued very effective and aggressive diplomacy to sensitize the world community regarding human rights situation in occupied Kashmir.

Expressing his concern he stated that it is shameful that people of Kashmir have been clamped down for last 76th days. India’s image is tarnished and its partners are raising fingers on India because of worst human rights situation in Kashmir.
