\nPrime Minister Imran Khan expressed on Thursday his fears of bloodshed in India-occupied Kashmir, calling on the international community to pressure the Indian premier to allow international observers into the valley.
\nThe premier voiced these fears during separate meetings he held with the editorial board of US daily Wall Street Journal and the Human Rights Watch executive director in New York.
\nThe meetings took place on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly session. PM Khan is due to address the session tomorrow.
\nSpeaking to HRW Executive Director Kenneth Roth, the Pakistan premier said the \u201cbiggest humanitarian tragedy\u201d of the history is feared to take place in the occupied Himalayan territory.
\nHe explained that nearly 15,000 youngsters have been taken into custody by the Indian forces during the past two months.
\n\u201cThere is a fear of bloodshed in the valley after the lifting of curfew,\u201d PM Khan told Roth, urging international organizations to pressure Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to allow observers into the valley.
\n\u201cModi\u2019s arrogance has jeopardized the regional peace,\u201d he said, during his meeting with WSJ editorial board. \u201cThe media can play an important role in exposing the real face of the Indian premier.\u201d
\nThe Pakistan premier also stressed the need for restoration of peace talks between the United States and the Taliban. He said Pakistan would benefit the most from peace in Afghanistan.
\nHe also held a meeting with his Norwegian counterpart Erna Solberg. The two leaders discussed a wide range of bilateral, regional and multilateral issues.
\nPM Khan briefed Premier Solberg on the current situation in the India-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, entailing grave risks for peace and security.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
