SRINAGAR (IHK): In occupied Kashmir, the pro-freedom leaders have welcomed the proposed constitution of a Commission by Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) to probe human rights violations by the authorities, reports KMS.

Veteran Kashmiri Hurriyet leader Syed in a statement in Srinagar welcoming the OIC decision, said: “It is a good sign and should have happened earlier.”

APHC senior leader, Shabbir Ahmad Shah in his statement, while welcoming the move, said that India should allow OIC and international human rights bodies to visit the occupied territory if it was serious in resolving the Kashmir dispute.

“If India seriously wants to solve the problem, it should let outsiders visit. This will bring out the human rights violations committed against the people of Kashmir.” Shah said.

The Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) Chairman, Mohammad Yasin Malik in a statement issued in Srinagar said that instead of just making announcements, the OIC should do something practical.
