Pakistan PM Imran Khan hits out at India over curbs in Kashmir

Live Mint  

New Delhi: Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan on Friday launched a tirade against India for not lifting the month-long curbs in Kashmir, saying that New Delhi’s “oppression” of the people will drive them toward extremism. Thanks to the efforts of Pakistan, the Kashmir issue has once again figured on the United Nations Security Council agenda with the UN body holding closed door consultations on the matter for the first time in 50 years, Khan said. The OIC and 58 countries supported Pakistan at the UN Human Rights Council that oppression was committed in Kashmir and that curfew should be lifted in Kashmir,” Khan said. Khan said that the 14 February Pulwama attack in Indian-administered Kashmir was carried out by a young man tired of the oppression and the treatment being meted to the Kashmiris.
