The Kashmir Committee, Jeddah met on 25
October 2017 to mark Kashmir Black Day in Saudi Arabia and expressed solidarity
with Kashmiri people in their just struggle for their right to
self-determination, says a press release received here today from Jeddah.
The
Committee unanimously adopted a resolution which condemned ongoing atrocious
human rights violations in the Indian Occupied Kashmir. The resolution called
upon India to immediately stop gross, systematic and state sponsored human
rights violations in Kashmir and allow international human rights and
humanitarian organizations an unhindered access to the occupied state.
The
Committee also condemned the unprovoked firing by the Indian forces on the Line
of Control (LoC) with intentional targeting of civilian areas. The Committee
stressed that the core dispute between Pakistan and India and current
catastrophic situation in Indian Occupied Kashmir is result of non-resolution
of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute.
The
resolution commended Pakistan for its unconditional political, moral and
diplomatic support for the Kashmiri struggle and denounced continued Indian
occupation of the state of Jammu and Kashmir. The Committee appreciated the
efforts of the Government of Pakistan to highlight the atrocities of Indian Security
forces in IOK at the international fora including United Nations.
The
resolution expressed gratitude to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as well as the
Organization of Islamic Cooperation for their consistent support to the
Kashmiri struggle.
The
Committee thanked the Consul General of Pakistan for its continuous support to
the Kashmir cause.
