Islamabad: At the UN Security Council, Pakistan has drawn attention of the world to the plight of women in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir and Palestine.
According to Radio Pakistan, speaking at the UN Security Council’s open debate on Women, Peace and Security, Counsellor Saima Saleem of Pakistan’s Mission to the United Nations, regretted that once again the Secretary-General’s report made no reference to the plight of Kashmiri women, who have endured sexual violence during the decades of occupation, which has been deployed as a weapon of war.
In response to remarks of the Indian delegate, Pakistani representative Sarfraz Ahmad Gohar said Hindutva ideology has become state policy in India. Muslims, Christians, Dalits, and other minorities are persecuted with impunity.
