NEW YORK: Pakistan has said that India is using terrorism as an instrument of its coercive policies in Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IOJ&K).

This was stated by Pakistani diplomat Zulfiqar Cheena in the UN session held in New York.

He said the reign of state terrorism in Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir has done little to frustrate the indigenous and legitimate struggle of Kashmiris for their inalienable right to self-determination.

He said no amount of extra judicial killings in fake encounters can ever take away the desire for freedom from the oppressed people of Kashmir. He said India is financing and organizing secret mercenary terrorist organizations based outside our borders to conduct attacks in Pakistan to impede the implementation of the CPEC.

Zulfiqar Cheena said India’s Hindu supremacist organizations, especially the fascist RSS, have, for decades, preached the violent suppression of India’s 180 million Muslims.—NNI
