India should be held responsible for human rights violation: FO

ISLAMABAD: Foreign Office Spokesman Nafees Zakaria has said that Indian position on its minorities, regional affairs and its relations with neighboring countries reflect that it has no respect for international law and human rights.

“Indian occupation forces have martyred four more youth in Srinagar and Kupwara areas during the last six days while 72nd Session of UN General Assembly in New York and 36th Session of Human Rights Council in Geneva, are in progress,” Zakaria said during a daily press briefing here today.

Responding to a question, the spokesman said that Pakistan was disappointed over the recent joint statement by India and Japan regarding terrorism.

“Japan’s endorsement of India’s point of view is highly regrettable”, he added.

Zakaria further went on to add that India’s involvement in Pakistan’s internal affairs and in spreading of regional terrorism, were now evident.

“Pakistan truly believed that India needed to assess its own attitude, instead of leveling false allegations on its neighbouring countries,” he said.
