The AJK president congratulated Shah Mahmood Qureshi on his appointment as the Foreign Minister of Pakistan and briefed him about the human rights situation in Indian Occupied Jammu & Kashmir.
While highlighting the findings of the report of United Nations Office of OHCHR, the AJK president regretted that instead of addressing the concerns raised in the Report on human rights violations in IoK perpetrated by the Indian occupation forces, India has exacerbated its repression in IoK with the imposition of governor rule and resorting to brute use of force.
