Ban on Pakistan TV channels in held Kashmir slammed

LONDON -UK-based Kashmiri organisation has flayed Occupied Kashmir administration for banning Pakistan private TV channels and described it as ‘outrageous’ attempt to muffle the voice of reason.
Prof. Nazir Ahmad Shawl, Executive Director, Kashmir Centre London, in a statement regarded Indian government directions to the cable operators to stop popular Pakistani television channels including GEO, ARY, AAJ in different areas of occupied Kashmir as ‘sheer frustration.’
“The act is outrageous and speaks volumes about the human rights violations taking place in occupied Kashmir. The government of India’s declared policy of zero tolerance has never been practised,” he said.
He said the human rights violations are taking place with impunity. The curb on media originating from other side of border is understandable as these are being blackened out to hide the truth.
Prof. Shawl further said the recent disclosure of mass graves is a testimony to the unprecedented iron fisted policy practised by Indian administration and their local cohorts.
He expressed hope that international community would take a serious notice of new developments and apply pressure on the authorities to lift the ban.
