Ready to facilitate UN inquiry on PoK if India gives it access to J-K: Pak

Pakistan today said it was ready to facilitate the Commission of Inquiry as proposed in a recent UN report to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir if India gives a similar access to the UN team to Jammu and Kashmir.

Foreign Office spokesperson Mohammad Faisal welcomed the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) report's recommendation for an independent, international Commission of Inquiry on Kashmir.

Pakistan is "ready to facilitate the Commission of Inquiry to visit" PoK, as proposed in the recent UN Report, provided that India is ready to allow them access to Jammu and Kashmir, he said.

India had reacted sharply to the UN report last week, terming it "fallacious, tendentious and motivated", and lodged a strong protest with the United Nations, saying the government is "deeply concerned that individual prejudices are being allowed to undermine the credibility of a UN institution."
He said Pakistan's position remains consistent as "we had nothing to hide."
To a question about any update on the shoe of Indian prisoner Kulbhushan Jadhav's wife, he said: "There is no update."
