Jammu & Kashmir politicians urge UN, PM Modi to intervene over PoK killings
Political parties in Jammu & Kashmir urge Centre and international human rights organizations to intervene after over two dozen people were allegedly killed in firing by Pakistani security forces in PoK.
National Conference president Farooq Abdullah urged the UN Human Rights Council to send a team to PoK and asked PM Modi and external affairs minister S Jaishankar to raise the issue with Pakistan.
CPM legislator MY Tarigami demanded an immediate end to force against unarmed protesters, release of all detainees, unhindered access to food and medical care, and an independent inquiry into the alleged killings.
Unrest in PoK escalated after authorities banned the Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC), which has been demanding abolition of 12 seats in the PoK assembly reserved for refugees from J&K who settled in Pakistan after 1947.
