PM NAWAZ SEEKS WORLD HELP IN PROVISION OF MEDICAL ASSISTANCE TO KASHMIR UNREST VICTIMS

Islamabad, 06 August 2016: Prime Minister of Pakistan, Muhammad Nawaz Sharif has called upon the international community to immediately help arrange medical treatment for the victims in Indian Occupied Kashmir (IOK), especially for treatment of eye injuries resulting from use of pellet guns by the Indian forces. The Prime Minister conveyed Pakistan’s unequivocal support in arranging best available medical facilities to these injured people, anywhere in the world.
The Prime Minister has called upon the international community to exercise its influence over India for ending bloodshed in the IOK and providing access for provision of treatment to the victims in the wake of ongoing humanitarian crisis.
The humanitarian crisis, which is of huge magnitude, in Indian Occupied Kashmir (IOK) has compelled us to immediately pool our material and human resources for treating the victims of brutal state oppression.
Even more gruesome is that health-care providers in Indian Occupied Kashmir have not been allowed to treat the innocent victims. The Indian forces have also been targetting the hospitals and ambulances providing health-care to the peaceful, defenceless and innocent protesters.
It goes without saying, being blinded has severe consequences for the victims and their families. Nevertheless, they are resolute; they are guided by the light of freedom for the realisation of their right to self determination. The world should realise this. Pakistan shall continue to support them morally, politically and diplomatically.
