BEIJING, China: China has expressed serious concern over human rights violations in Indian-held Kashmir, and stressed peaceful resolution of the issue.
“We are equally concerned about the casualties in the clash, and hope that relevant incident will be handled properly,” the Chinese Foreign ministry Spokesman Lu Kang said in a media briefing in Beijing in response to a question about clashes between police and residents in Indian-administered Kashmir.
The spokesman said that the Kashmir issue is left over from history.
“China holds a consistent stance and hopes relevant parties will address the issue peacefully through dialogue,” Lu Kang said.
A ‘Black Day’ will be observed across Pakistan on Wednesday to express solidarity with Kashmiri brethren and against atrocities being committed by Indian forces against innocent Kashmiris in occupied Kashmir.
Meanwhile, Kashmiris on both sides of the Line of Control (LoC) are observing Accession to Pakistan Day today (Tuesday) with a renewed pledge to continue their freedom struggle till liberation of the state from Indian subjugation.
