Pakistan winning war on Kashmir at both national and international fronts: Indian Ministry of Defence
SRINAGAR, JULY 19 (PTK): The Indian Ministry of Defence (MoD), in its annual report, said that Pakistan has been victorious in taking Kashmir to global platforms despite efforts to counter the propaganda Eurasiantimes reported.
“Pakistan’s effort to portray the Kashmir issue has received a fillip following the publication of two international reports by the office of United Nations Human Rights Commission and the British Parliaments All-Party Coordination Committee,” the MoD report for 2018-19 said.
The Ministry of Defence added, “Pakistan, with renewed intensity in 2018, choreographed a global campaign on Jammu and Kashmir via its sponsored agents by attempting to display law and order mess in Jammu and Kashmir and propagated Human Rights Violations in the Valley Eurasiantimes reported.
The MoD has said that the Indian Defence Forces are vigorously battling with the Ministry of External Affairs and Ministry of Home Affairs to counter propaganda on both international and national fronts.
A recent United Nations report alleged human rights violations by the security forces in Kashmir and recommended the constitution of an inquiry commission. Discarding the findings, the Indian Ministry of External Affairs called the report “fallacious, tendentious and motivated” and questioned the intent in bringing out such a report.
“It is a selective compilation of largely unverified information. It is overtly prejudiced and seeks to build a false narrative. The report violates India’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. The entire state of Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India,” the MEA had said in response to the report.
The MEA also said, “Pakistan is an unlawful and forcible occupation of a part of the Indian state (Pakistan administered Kashmir) through aggression. We have repeatedly called upon Pakistan to renounce the occupied territories. The incorrect description of Indian territory in the report is mischievous, misleading and unacceptable. There are no entities such as ‘Azad Jammu and Kashmir’ and ‘Gilgit-Baltistan’.”
In its annual report, the Ministry of Defence stated that in 2018, the Indian Army received 15 allegations of human rights violations from the National Human Rights Commission. “Out of these, six investigations have been completed and all of them have been found false. Balance allegations are currently under investigation,” the MoD said.
