Imran Khan had said the gathering would also show Pakistan’s resolve to stand with Kashmiris in this hour of trial.
On September 4, PM Imran Khan had asked the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to urge India to halt ‘illegal actions’ in Kashmir.
“International community has the responsibility to pressurize India to halt and reverse its illegal actions and aggressive policies and postures in Occupied Kashmir,” PM Imran Khan had said while talking to Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister Adel Al Jubeir and UAE Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan in Islamabad.
He had stressed the importance of immediate lifting of curfew, removal of restrictions on movement and communications, and respect for the fundamental rights of the people of Occupied Kashmir.
The prime minister had highlighted Pakistan’s deep concern over the worsening human rights and humanitarian situation in Occupied Kashmir because of the month-long complete lockdown and communications blackout in the occupied territory.
