ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 30th Sep, 2016 ) : The Prime Minister's special envoys briefed Chinese academics, scholars & think-tanks' representatives on human rights violations by India in Indian Occupied Kashmir.

The spacial envoys MNAs Mukhdoom Khusru Bakhtiyar and Alam Dad Laleka, who are visiting People's Republic of China to highlight the ongoing human rights violations in Indian Occupied Jammu Kashmir (IOK), met Chinese scholars, academics and representatives of various think-tanks in Beijing.

According to a message received here Friday, the envoys gave a detailed account of the deteriorating situation in IOK and the atrocities being perpetrated by the Indian occupation forces against the innocent civilians including women, children and elderly.

They highlighted that people of Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir were living under duress due to continuous curfew in IoK and people were unable to meet their daily life requirements. They said Kashmir was an internationally recognized dispute as per UNSC Resolutions.

As recognized by the UN, Pakistan is party to the dispute and is obliged to highlight the struggle of self determination of the Kashmiri people, they said. The envoys informed the participants how earnestly Pakistan has tried to resolve all issues with India including the Kashmir dispute through a result oriented dialogue process.

But India had rejected all offers of dialogue and therefore, Pakistan was compelled to approach the international community to highlight Indian suppression of an indigenous struggle of the Kashmiri people, they said.

Special envoys also called upon the international community to play a proactive role in resolving the Kashmir dispute in accordance with the UN Security Council resolutions. The Chinese intellectuals and scholars attending the event showed complete understanding of Pakistan's position and shared their views on Kashmir dispute and regional situation.

They emphasized the peaceful resolution of Kashmir dispute, which poses a potential threat to peace and stability of the region.
