PM urges UNSC to take notice against India for using cluster munitions along LoC

Islamabad (Web Desk): Prime Minister Imran Khan on Sunday urged the United Nations Security Council to take notice against India for using cluster munitions along Line of Control.

The PM also condemned the Indian attack across the Line of Control on innocent civilians and its use of cluster munitions.

“I condemn India's attack across LOC on innocent civilians & it's use of cluster munitions in violation of int humanitarian law and it's own commitments under the 1983 Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons. UNSC must take note of this international threat to peace & security,” PM Khan said in a series of tweets.

“It is time to end the long night of suffering for the people of Occupied Kashmir. They must be allowed to exercise their right to self determination according to UN SC resolutions. The only road to peace & security in South Asia runs through a peaceful & just settlement of Kashmir,” the PM added.

“President Trump offered to mediate on Kashmir. This is the time to do so as situation deteriorates there and along the LOC with new aggressive actions being taken by Indian occupation forces. This has the potential to blow up into a regional crisis,” PM Imran maintained.

The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) on Saturday said the Indian army had been using cluster bombs to target civilians along the LoC.
