Pakistan PM Imran Khan Hits Out At India Over Kashmir
Delhi: Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan assured residents of disputed Kashmir that he will expose years-long Indian oppression and human rights violations in the region when he addresses the U.N. General Assembly this month. He made the comments in his first speech to a rally in Muzaffarabad, in Pakistan-held Kashmir, since the revocation of the special status of the Kashmir by India on Aug. 5. Some 20,000 people took part. He also requested that rally-goers refrain from marching toward the heavily militarized Line of Control that separates Kashmir between Pakistani and Indian sides, saying they should wait for his call. He urged the world community to pressure India to give the right of self-determination to Kashmiris. However, the law ministry told the PM that the government cannot take Kashmir issue to the International Court of Justice. It comes after Pakistan PM Imran Khan said that he will take up the Kashmir issue with the ICJ. The ministry stated that there was no such agreement between Pakistan and India regarding taking Kashmir issue to the ICJ.
