The mission’s president Professor Dr Zafar Iqbal Chaudhry said if the Indian government does not allow its medical team to travel to Srinagar to treat the injured Kashmiris, it would hold demonstrations against it.
Issue of Hafiz Saeed’s “War”-Rants Raised in Lok Sabha
Meanwhile, on Monday, a Congress member raised in Lok Sabha the issue of reported “war” rants by the Jamaat-ud-Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed and “interference” by China in the Kashmir affairs and demanded a response from Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“Hum Parliament mei baithe hue hain, aur (JuD chief) Hafiz bhai aur (Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz) Sharif bhai, bhai-bhai ban kar jung karne ki dhamki de rehe hai, aur Narendra bhai chuppi sadhe hua hai (We are sitting in Parliament, and Hafiz and Sharif are displaying brotherhood and threatening a war and Narendra Modi is silent),” Chowdhury said.
He said China has also started interfering in Kashmir matter and is adopting a rude attitude.
Chowdhury said after Parliament held a debate on unrest in Kashmir, Home Minister Rajnath Singh visited the valley but no one knows what he got from there.
