Furthermore, Pakistan has also condemned Indian atrocities in Jammu and Kashmir and that by raising tensions along the LoC and the WB, India cannot divert attention from the worsening human rights situation in the Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IOJ&K).
It is to be noted that earlier, four Pakistani civilians including 27 year old Razeem, 25 year old Tehzeeb, 13 year old Ali Maroof and 60 year old Rasheeda Bib embraced martyrdom due to unprovoked cross border shelling by Indian Forces on Wednesday.
