ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Wednesday blamed India of deliberately changing the demographic makeup of Jammu and Kashmir by settling non-state citizens in Indian-held Kashmir and turning its Muslim majority into a minority by dividing the population on ethnic, religious and communal lines.
Foreign Secretary Aizaz Chaudhry a told ambassadors of countries in the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) posted in Pakistan during a meeting here at Foreign Office.
Briefing the envoys on the eve of Kashmir Day, the foreign secretary enumerated the actions taken by Indian security forces to suppress the freedom movement against Indian rule.
The Foreign Secretary told the envoys about the Kashmiris killed, women widowed and raped and children orphaned in human rights violations in the region.
He stressed that peace in the region would remain elusive without the resolution of the Kashmir dispute in accordance with UN resolutions that call for a free and fair election to determine the wishes of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
