Union minister Kiren Rijiju on Monday took a dig at Pakistan for accusing India of committing human rights violations in Kashmir, saying it should worry more about such violations in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) than the Valley.

"They (Pakistan) should worry (more) about human rights violations in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir than Jammu and Kashmir. Kashmir is an internal matter of India," he told reporters here.

Rijiju's comments came a day after Pakistan accused India of committing human rights violations in Kashmir following the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen leader Burhan Wani.
