A seminar on human rights violations in Gilgit-Baltistan of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir was organised by an NGO ‘Social Cause’ on the occasion of Human Rights Day at the Post Graduate College of Law here on Sunday.
Former High Court judge Justice P. Ramakrishnam Raju said that the problems in Gilgit-Baltistan continued from the time the area was accessioned to India. But, the country maintained a stoic silence. Pakistan did not vacate from there and, instead turned it into its colony, despite a United Nation’s resolution.
UN report flayed
Prof. G.B. Reddy, Dean, Faculty of Law at Osmania University, criticised the United Nations report on human rights violations in Kashmir by UN High Commissioner for human rights Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein.
T. Aparna, Principal, PG College of Law; K. Raka Sudhakar Rao, national executive member of Jammu Kashmir Study Centre, and Rahul Razdan, general secretary, Youth for Panun Kashmir, also spoke.
