Transferring foreign fighters to IOJ&K: Pakistan rubbishes India’s allegations

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has slammed concoctions based on fake news in a section of Indian media alleging transfer of foreign fighters to Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IOJ&K).

In a statement, the Foreign Office spokesman Zahid Hafeez said that such fabrications are part of the Indian propaganda against indigenous freedom movement of the Kashmiri people for their inalienable right to self-determination enshrined in international law and the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolutions.

He said that such Indian ploys are doomed to fail again. The spokesperson said that by spreading such falsehoods India can neither cast a shadow on the legitimate struggle of the Kashmiri people for freedomfrom illegal and inhuman Indian occupation nor can it escape censure by the international community for the gross and systematic violations of human rights being perpetrated by the Indian occupation forces in IOJ&K.

The spokesman said the completely baseless allegations of so-called foreign fighters from Syria serve only to further illustrate the virulent anti-Pakistan tirade that is the hallmark of the RSS-BJP dispensation. He said that instead of wasting more time in peddling falsehoods and fake news, India would be well advised to comply with its international legal and moral obligations and let the Kashmiris exercise their inalienable right to self-determination.
