ISLAMABAD (9Newshd): The joint session of the Parliament unanimously passed the resolution on Wednesday to condemn India’s move to scrap special status of Jammu and Kashmir.

The joint session of the Parliament discussed the deteriorating situation in Indian-occupied Kashmir today after the Indian government revoked Article 370 of the constitution which granted special autonomy to the disputed Himalayan region.

Kashmir Committee Chairman Syed Fakhar Imam presented the resolution, condemning the unilateral move by India, which is against the United Nations resolutions.

The resolution said the move is aimed at changing the demography of the disputed area and ethnic cleansing of Kashmiris.

The Kashmir issue should be resolved through the UN plebiscite, said the resolution, adding that Pakistan will continue diplomatic, moral and political support of Kashmiris. 

Taking part in the session, which resumed with Senate Chairman Sadiq Sanjrani in the chair, Minister for Human Rights Dr Shireen Mazari condemned the move and said India’s attempts to change the status of occupied Kashmir were not only illegal but also in violation of the Geneva Convention, which attributes any change in demographic composition of held territory as war crime.

The scrapping of Articles 370 and 35-A violated the Shimla Accord, the decisions of India’s superior courts and all international norms, she said, as she urged the international community to take notice of the situation and the resulting risk of genocide and ethnic cleansing in the valley.
