Stop Deplorable Interfering, Withdraw From PoK: India's Strong Statement

    India blames Pak for huge unrest in Kashmir Valley
    40 killed, 3,000 injured since terrorist Burhan Wani was shot
    Pak eulogises Wani, accuses India of atrocities in Kashmir

After incessant provocation from Pakistan - which included its observing a "Black Day" to commemorate the victims of the recent clashes in the Kashmir Valley - India today issued a strong recrimination, stating that the violence was "led by UN-designated terrorists" who get "encouragement and support" from Pakistan.

At least 40 people have died and more than 3,000 have been injured in the violence that erupted in Kashmir after Burhan Wani, a 22-year-old terrorist, was killed by security forces on the night of July 8. Home Minister Rajnath Singh has told Parliament that the Pakistani government has instigated the unrest to distract from its own domestic failures. 

The "Black Day" declared yesterday by Islamabad "exposes Pakistan's longing for the territory of Jammu & Kashmir. India demands that Pakistan must fulfil the obligation to vacate its illegal occupation of POK (Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir)," a statement from the Foreign Ministry said today adding that Islamabad must "refrain from its deplorable meddling in our internal affairs in any manner."

Wani's death has been used by Pakistan at the United Nations and in near-daily statements to accuse India of atrocities in Kashmir. Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif referred to Wani, a commander of the Hizbul Mujahideen, as "a Kashmiri leader"; he has been eulogised by Pakistani officials.

Wani's shooting incited large clashes between security forces and civilians, many of them stone-throwing protestors, who accuse the state of unrestrained force in dealing with dissent. Huge mobs have defied curfews to attack security bunkers, set police stations on fire, and seize weapons from army officers, a tactic propagated by Wani, who used social media to recruit other young men like himself for the Mujahideen, the largest terror group in Kashmir.

The worst violence in six years in the Valley has been fueled by anger over the allegedly indiscriminate use of pellets fired by security troops from non-lethal weapons, resulting in eye injuries for hundreds of people.

Large parts of the Valley remain under curfew with mobile phone services blocked; a temporary ban on local newspapers was withdrawn by the state government after much criticism.

Glorification of terrorists makes it clear where Pakistan’s sympathies lie: India

India Friday hit back at Pakistan for describing slain Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani as martyr and announcing its plans to observe July 19 as black day to express solidarity with people of Kashmir.

MEA Spokesperson Vikas Swarup, in a press release, said that India is dismayed at the continued attempts by Pakistan to interfere in our internal matters. He reiterated that Pakistan or any other external party has no locus standi on the Kashmir issue.

“Continued glorification of terrorists belonging to proscribed terrorist organisations makes it amply clear where Pakistan’s sympathies continue to lie,” Swarup said.

Accusing Pakistan of seeking to derive political mileage out of Kashmir unrest, Swarup said India unequivocally rejects the decision taken by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s cabinet today.

Sharif today chaired a cabinet meeting, where he declared Wani as martyr.

“Pakistan would continue to extend moral, political and diplomatic support for Kashmiris in their just struggle for right to self-determination,” Sharif said.

The prime minister directed all the relevant departments to highlight the Kashmir issue at international fora.
