Modi trying to divert global attention from tragedy in India-held Kashmir, says Aziz

[DAWN] Adviser to Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs Sartaj PrunefaceAziz
...Adviser to Pak Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on National Security and Foreign Affairs, who believes in good jihadis and bad jihadis as a matter of national policy...
on Monday said Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was trying to divert global attention from the tragedy in India-held Kashmire.

"Mr. Modi was only trying to divert world attention from the grim tragedy that has been unfolding in Indian-Indian Kashmiree over the past five weeks," said Aziz, referring to Modi’s comments.

Modi, on the occasion of India’s 70th Independence Day, said in his address to the nation that people of Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
, Gilgit and Azad Kashmire had thanked him and he was grateful to them.

Modi’s criticism of Pakistain, while avoiding direct mention of month-long protests in India-held Kashmire, was the only time the Indian premier focused on foreign policy in his Independence Day speech which he delivered from the ramparts of the Red Fort in Delhi.

Aziz said that thousands of unarmed youth are protesting everyday for their right of self determination.

"More than 70 innocent Kashmiris have been killed and more than 6,000 injured. There is consistent curfew and a complete media blackout," said the adviser, shedding light on conditions in India-held Kashmire.
