Adviser to the Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz has written a letter to the United Nations (UN) secretary general highlighting Indian attempts to bring demographic changes to India-held Kashmir, said a press release from the Foreign Office.
The letter specifically points out the issuance of permanent residence certificates to non-residents, allotment of land to retired Indian army personnel, issuance of land to non-Kashmiris, the establishment of separate townships for Kashmiri pundits and settlement of West Pakistan refugees in held Kashmir, reads a foreign office statement.
"These efforts are being made to try to convert the Muslim majority in held-Kashmir into a minority to preempt the results of the (proposed) UN administered plebiscite," said the statement.
Aziz has stressed that the non-implementation of the UN Security Council resolutions is leading to a grave human tragedy in the held-Kashmir, added the statement.
"It is only by the implementation of the UN Security Council resolutions that we will be able to end the immense sufferings of millions of Kashmiris in the India-held Jammu and Kashmir and bring peace and stability to South Asia," the report quoted the letter.
