March 13, 2019 10:27

Kashmiri political activists and intellectuals have strongly criticised Pakistan for its duplicity on Kashmir during the 40th Session of United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) in Geneva on Tuesday.

Junaid Qureshi, a Kashmiri and director of the European Foundation of South Asian Studies lambasted Pakistan for becoming a broker to China. He said, "Firstly, Pakistan invaded Jammu and Kashmir in 1947. Since then, it has been an Occupier - And now, it is a broker, as it is negotiating the sale of Gilgit Baltistan to Beijing'.

In collaboration with China, Pakistan's attempts to change the status of Gilgit Baltistan have increased exponentially, as the region is vital for the construction of the illegal China Pakistan Economic Corridor. -- ANI
