Pakistan's hectic diplomacy gives an embarrassing blow to India over occupied Kashmir

LONDON - Pakistan gives a diplomatic blow to India over occupied Kashmir with hectic diplomacy in Britain.

The All-Party Parliamentary Kashmir Group (APPKG) of the British Parliament has condemned India for using excessive force in Kashmir and refusing to allow independent observers from the UK to enter into the Indian-occupied Kashmir (IoK) to monitor the true scale of human rights abuses.

Chris Leslie, a member of the British Parliament associated with the Labour Party and the APPKG chairperson, unveiled a report Tuesday evening, alongside dozens of Labour and Conservative MPs as well as Azad Kashmir President Sardar Masood Khan.

The APPKG comprises over 70 parliamentarians from the House of Commons and Lords.

The report notes that “repeated requests notwithstanding, no representative of either Indian central government or the J&K state government has agreed to give evidence, verbally or in writing".
