ISLAMABAD: Foreign Office Thursday responding to reports of opening of‘Free Balochistan Office’ in New Delhi, saying Indian interference inPakistan was an established fact and indicated its hegemonic designs.
“India needs to act as a responsible member of the international communityand desist from such actions,” Foreign Office Spokesman Dr Muhammad Faisalsaid at a weekly press briefing here at the Foreign Office.
He said the case of Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav was an evidence of “Indianterrorism and espionage”, and said Pakistan had shared with the UN andinternational community.
“Indian actions are against inter-state norms and threaten regional peaceand tranquility,” he said, adding that Pakistan was fully equipped todefend itself against such acts.
The spokesman said Pakistan’s case in International Court of Justice (ICJ)against Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav was “very strong”, because he wasapprehended within Pakistani territory.
He said the UN secretary general’s endorsement of the report by the Officeof Human Rights Commission on Kashmir was the biggest success of Pakistanin 70 years in the domain of Kashmir.
“The international support that we gained on Kashmir is the biggest successof our foreign policy in seven decades,” he said and added that the OHCHRreport “another blow to India’s farcical constructs about IOK”.
The Spokesman mentioned that the OHCHR report quoted official Indiansources including Indian parliament, supreme court and external affairsministry for not giving permission to the inquiry commission for a visit.
On contrary, he said, Pakistan welcomed the visit by the UN commission ofInquiry, as recommended in the report, to both Azad Jammu and Kashmir andIndian occupied Kashmir.
He said the OHCHR report had greatly upset the Indian efforts to projectthat all was well in IoK and was the first report of its kind thatacknowledged and documented India’s widest human rights violations. – APP
