ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 13th Dec, 2018 ) :Minister for Human Rights Dr Shireen Mazari Thursday said that Pakistan needed proactive approach in dealing with Kashmir issue as the time of rhetoric was over and something must be done to stop persistent martyring of Kashmirs.
Speaking at a public hearing, she proposed a set of parallel dialogues with all stakeholders in a series of engagements saying nothing was impossible in diplomacy and international politics.
Generations after generations have been sacrificing their lives to keep the Kashmir issue alive for the attainment of plebiscite which lies at the centre of UNSC resolutions, she said.
She said Pakistan should move forward to UN and present conflict resolution model and push India on defensive. Documentation of Kashmiris should be done as Indian government was trying to change the demography of IOK, which would change the whole concept of plebiscite.
She stressed the need to demand referendum committee which should identify the geographical territory of disputed area, saying "Indian forces as a weapon of war systematically raped women in IOK, world should stop such human rights abuses in Indian Occupied Kashmir.
" "We need to remind the world that even after 9/11, struggle of self determination in Kashmir still exist and referred Almati Declaration which was adopted by both Pakistan and India." She said legitimacy of Pakistan's position to the party in Kashmir issue is lying at the centre of UNSCs resolutions.
She said Pakistan need to move forward and should focus on women and conflict areas and to bring attention of world on human rights abuses in IOK.
Pakistan should demand to establish an inquiry commission in line with the United Nations Human Rights Council's Report.
She urged moving to Human Rights Council to have investigative commission to investigate human rights abuses and violations in IOK.
Dr Mazari underlined the principles of Good Friday Agreement based on self determination for solution of Kashmir issue.
Senator Farhat ullah Babar, Senator Rehman Malik, Senator Shiree Rehman, Dr Asif Kirmani, Senator Javed Abbasi and the Kashmiri Diaspora also attended the Public Hearing.
