President Azad Kashmir Sardar Masood Khan has said India is committing crimes against humanity and it is the duty of the international community to take note of these actions.

He was speaking at a webinar organized by the Centre for Aerospace and Security Studies in Islamabad today (Wednesday).

The President Azad Kashmir said Kashmir’s demography has already changed and the purpose of Indian government is to turn Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir into Hindu Rashtra.

General retired Zubair Mehmood Hayat said illegal Indian acts of 5 August 2019 have made Kashmir pivotal to the global power competition and has solidified Kashmir’s position as a nuclear flash point. He urged that Pakistan should press the United Nations Security Council to take strong collective action against India’s blatant violations of its legal obligations in IIOJK.

Air Marshal retired Farhat Hussain Khan said BJP-led Indian Government is trying to take away the identity of Kashmiris, commit and hide the Indian war crimes, deprive Kashmiris of their rights and properties and also subject them to major economic losses.
