| Sharif's statement on Kashmir situation exposes foreign hand in violence | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, July 11: Pakistani Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif's "shock" over killing of Buhran Wani and his "concern" over use of "excessive" force against civilians in Kashmir Valley has exposed that on-going violent protests in the Valley are not simple reaction of a militant commander's killing but a bigger game-plan of some foreigner agencies. Pakistan Prime Minister's utterance is an indication that on-going turmoil in Kashmir Valley is instigated and sponsored from across the border because the protests were well planned and attacked on security forces, especially of J&K Police personnel were made in a systematic manner.
After putting the whole Valley on fire through agents, Pakistan Prime Minister is now trying to add fuel by expressing "deep shock" over the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani, who has raised armed revolt against Indian State.
Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who recently returned from London after an open-heart surgery, came out with a late night statement condemning the action of Indian security forces in Kashmir.
"The Prime Minister of Pakistan has expressed his deep shock at the killing of Kashmiri leader Burhan Wani and many other civilians by the Indian military and paramilitary forces," Sharif's office said in the statement.
The Prime Minister said it was "deplorable that excessive and unlawful force was used against the civilians" who were protesting against the killing of Wani.
"Oppressive measures such as these cannot deter the valiant people of Jammu and Kashmir from their demand of exercising their right to self-determination in accordance with the UN Security Council resolutions," he said.
Expressing concern over the detention of Kashmiri separatist leaders, Sharif said India should fulfil its human rights obligations as well as its commitments under the United Nations Security Council resolutions.
After Sharif's statement Union Minister Kiren Rijiju took a dig at Pakistan for accusing India of committing human rights violations in Kashmir, saying it should worry more about such violations in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) than in the Valley.
"They (Pakistan) should worry (more) about human rights violations in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir than Jammu and Kashmir. Kashmir is an internal matter of India," he told reporters here.
Meanwhile, the Home Minister reviewed the Kashmir situation for the second time in as many days and instructed officials to do the needful to bring back normalcy in the state.
Normal life remained paralysed for the third day on Monday in the Valley due to curfew-like restrictions and separatists-sponsored strike in the wake of the killing of Wani.
Authorities have strengthened the presence of security forces in vulnerable areas of the city and elsewhere in the Valley to contain the protests.
Restrictions were being enforced strictly to avoid any further loss of life or damage to property, officials said. |
