| [DAWN] India on Thursday alleged that the protests in India-held Kashmire during observance of ’Kashmire’s Accession to Pakistain Day’ and ’Black Day’ were led by UN-designated terrorists. In a statement issued by Indian Ministry of External Affairs, New Delhi said: "We have seen reports about rallies, events and statements related to Jammu and Kashmire over the last two days. We have also noted that the events were led by UN-designated terrorists. It went on to state that the groups which led the protests in India-held Kashmire were the same which had in the past "protested the elimination of dreaded turbans including the late Osama bin Laden ... who is no longer with us, and won't be again... and Taliban leader Akhtar Mansour in Pakistain". India strongly condemns the encouragement and support which such turbans and their activities receive from Pakistain, it read. "We once again ask Pakistain to stop inciting and supporting violence and terrorism in any part of our country and refrain from its deplorable meddling in our internal affairs in any manner." The India foreign ministry maintained that the observance of "Kashmire’s Accession to Pakistain Day" exposes Pakistain’s longing for the territory of Jammu and Kashmire. New Delhi urged Islamabad to stop "misleading" the international community and Kashmiris through meaningless exercises. "In view of the threats of marches and protests at the High Commission of India in Islamabad, we ask the Government of Pakistain to ensure full safety and security of the High Commission, all its officials and their families in Pakistain," the statement concluded. Indian security forces on Wednesday had removed dozens of black and Pak flags in India-held Kashmire hoisted by residents observing "black day" on the call of Pakistain government to protest the killing of a top pro-independence hard boy leader. Indian administration feared fresh trouble in the tense region after Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif ... served two non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Moslem League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf... called for observing a "black day" to express solidarity with "Kashmiris facing atrocities at the hands of Indian forces". In a statement, Nawaz had said, "India should realise that when people decide to do something, the weapons cannot stop their way." Rubbishing Indian claim of Kashmire being its internal matter, Nawaz said: "Kashmire cannot be accepted as an internal matter of India as it has been declared a disputed territory by the United Nations ...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships... ." |
