ISLAMABAD: Chairman Kashmir Committee Shehryar Khan Afridi has said that India could not hide the reality by arranging guided visits of foreign envoys to Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
He tweeted regarding the visit of a selected European parliamentary group arranged by the Indian authorities on Wednesday (February 17th) to mislead the international community about the ground situation in IIOJK.
“Ahead of a ‘staged’ diplomats’ tour to Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Indian occupation authorities have removed military bunkers from roads where the diplomats are scheduled to travel through, to give a semblance of normalcy to the envoys. But truth will speak itself,” it added.
Earlier, with primary focus on the situation in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), Foreign Secretary Sohail Mahmood here on Tuesday briefed the Heads of Diplomatic Missions in Islamabad, in separate groups.
The Foreign Secretary highlighted the gross and systematic violations of human rights in IIOJK, India’s illegal attempts to change the demographic structure of the occupied territory, and threat posed to regional peace and security by these actions, a press release issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs here said.
