    Pakistan has urged India to allow the international institutions to probe situation in Indian Occupied Kashmir.

    At his weekly news briefing in Islamabad today, Foreign Office Spokesperson Dr Muhammad Faisal said India continues with ceasefire violations on Line of Control and Working Boundary to divert the world attention from its unabated atrocities over the innocent people in Occupied Kashmir.

    He called upon India to allow the UN Military Observer Group on India and Pakistan to monitor the situation on Line of Control and Working Boundary.

    Strongly condemning the ongoing killing spree in Occupied Kashmir, the spokesperson called upon the international community to take notice of the situation and urge India to stop bloodshed in Kashmir.

    He said Pakistan will continue with its moral, diplomatic and political support to the people of Kashmir and their just right to self-determination.

    The spokesman said Pakistan has also written letters to UN and OIC Secretary Generals and a meeting of Contact Group on Kashmir will also be held soon.

    To a question regarding Indian claims of ownership of Jinnah House in Bombay, the Spokesperson clarified that Pakistan will not tolerate any such claim as India has already admitted Pakistan`s claim and she has to honour it.

    To a question regarding demolishing of two mosques in Allahabad, India, the spokesperson said India should respect the rights of minorities living there. He said Pakistan never interferes in the internal affairs of any country.

    To another query, the spokesperson said Pakistan's positive gestures do not mean any change in its position on Kashmir issue and it has given a comprehensive mechanism for talks with India but India never responded positively.

    About the talks between Taliban and United States in United Arab Emirates, Dr Muhammad Faisal said Pakistan has played its role as part of shared responsibility and reaffirmed its support for peace and stability in Afghanistan and its role has been widely appreciated. Responding to a question regarding Pakistani prisoners in Sri- Lanka, the spokesperson said forty-eight prisoners are there who have been convicted and are completing their sentences and now their verification is being done by Sri Lanakan authorities and prisoners will be repatriated on completion of Sentence.

    He said a conference of diplomats will be held in Islamabad on 27th of this month. The Spokesperson also refuted the foreign media news sensitizing the issue of Pakistani women in China. He said there are forty-four women out of which six have been repatriated to Pakistan, three are under investigation, twenty-three are free and are living in Xinjiang and eight are voluntarily undergoing a training in China.
