IslamabadPakistan has welcomed recent statement of Irans supreme leader, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, on Kashmir, Foreign Office Spokesperson Nafees Zakaria said.
Addressing a weekly media briefing here Thursday, Zakaria said the Muslim Ummah is worried about the human rights violations by Indian troops in Kashmir. The secretary general of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation has also denounced atrocities in Kashmir.
Earlier this week, Iranian Supreme Leader called upon the Judiciary of his country to pursue issues like Kashmir legally and adopt official position on such international issues.
Ayatollah Khamenei made these remarks at a meeting with high ranking members of Irans judiciary including Chief Justice, Sadeq Amoli Larijani.
The spokesman also termed the recent inclusion of Hizbul Mujahideen chief Syed Salahuddin in the Global Terrorist Watchlist by the US government as ‘unjustified’.
