Pak briefs OIC envoys on Kashmir

Pakistan today said it has briefed envoys of Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) countries on the alleged human rights violations in Jammu and Kashmir.
The Foreign Office said Additional Secretary (UN & EC) Tasnim Aslam briefed the ambassadors here in the backdrop of 'Kashmir Solidarity Day' observed in Pakistan yesterday.
It said in a statement that the ambassadors were briefed on the significance of Kashmir Solidarity Day, which is "observed to convey Pakistan's unflinching diplomatic, moral and political support to the people of Jammu & Kashmir."
"The longstanding dispute was the direct outcome of violation of the principles of partition of subcontinent," the statement quoted Aslam as saying.

She urged the OIC to play a more active role for the resolution of the Kashmir issue in accordance with the UN Security Council resolutions.
The OIC is an inter-governmental organisation which has membership of 57 Muslim-majority states spread over four continents.
