The statement is all the more surprising from the spokesman of India, a country that has long tried to suppress the freedom struggle of the Kashmiri people and has a record of systematic and serious human rights violation in the Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir," the Foreign Office spokesperson said.
Islamabad asks Delhi to mind its own business
By Mariana Baabar
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Tuesday accused India of vitiating the atmosphere of improved relations by issuing provocative statements directed against Islamabad’s internal matters and asked New Delhi to refrain from interfering in the country’s internal affairs. After start of the composite dialogue and dragging of the peace process between the two nuclear neighbours, this is the first strong statement issued by Islamabad. The reminder to India about its international obligations comes on the eve of third round of the composite dialogue on January 18 in New Delhi. The war of words started with a statement attributed to the spokesman of the Indian Ministry of External Affairs commenting on law and order situation in Balochistan alleging violence and military action in the province was taking place.
The Foreign Office spokesperson in a befitting response rejected the Indian statement as unwarranted and baseless. “This statement is tantamount to meddling in internal affairs of Pakistan,” she said. Turning the tables on New Delhi, she said India often showed an unacceptable proclivity to interfere in internal affairs of its neighbours. “Such tendency is contrary to efforts aimed at building an environment of trust, peace and stability in South Asia. The statement is all the more surprising from the spokesman of India, a country that has long tried to suppress the freedom struggle of the Kashmiri people and has a record of systematic and serious human rights violation in the Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir,” the Foreign Office spokesperson said. The heavy-handed methods and use of force by India to quell the ongoing unrest, especially in the northeast of the country, and the widespread violence afflicting many of its parts are well known and need no comment. “We are also intrigued by this provocative statement at this time when the two countries are engaged in the peace process to address all issues including the Jammu and Kashmir dispute. The statement tends to vitiate the current atmosphere of improved relations that accords with the wishes of the peoples of the two countries,” the spokesperson added.

What is population of Kashmiri’s? Just 8 million against 800 million Hindu’s. But you use such brutal and numerical force - 700,000 army to try to crush them.
I am sure there are many, many, mass graves in Kashmir, just like those found in Gujarat.
The killing of 80,000 Kashmiri’s by Indian army is hardly protecting them.
Indian army should have protected Muslims of Gujarat when they were butchered. But today we are seeing mass graves being found of those killed by Hindu’s.

Apart from occupying the land of Kashmiri's, you have taken the lives of 80,000 people from Kashmir - mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, sons and daughters of so many Kashmiri's. What else can you take that is more of a crime?
It is unfortunate that Indian's find it hard to condemn the acts of their army in Kashmir, yet are always willing to point the finger at others, without knowing the full facts.
^^ People its useless arguing with these Indooan baboos. They come prepacked with a bigoted, biased mindset, all of them. It's 55+ years of DD propaganda, anti-Pak/Kashmir "thumkaa" films which just conveniently build on the biased mindsets they have. You can't remove all that garbage from their minds that through one forum. It will probably take generations to fix even if they WANT to get over it. Don't expect it to happen in near future.
