ISLAMABAD, July 6: Pakistan condemned on Saturday what it termed as a cold-blooded murder of three innocent Kashmiris who were dubbed by the Indian army as “infiltrators.”

A foreign office spokesman, reacting to a report published in India Express, said the world community should take notice of this brutality and pressurize New Delhi to end its reign of terror in occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

He said the Indian security forces were known to have committed similar crime in the past, too. The latest murders were clearly inspired by the motive to lend credence to Indian allegation of cross-LoC infiltration.

He reiterated that it was only through the strengthening of the UN Military Observers Group for India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP) for impartial monitoring of the LoC that claims regrading infiltration could be credibly verified.

GODHRA INCIDENT: The foreign office spokesman further said that the findings of Indian Forensic Science Laboratory lead to the inescapable conclusion that the Godhra incident of arson was a premeditated

act of savagery by Hindu fanatics to trigger a systematic massacre of Muslims in Gujarat, adds APP.

He said this while responding to a query regarding the report prepared by the Indian Forensic Science Laboratory on the Feb 27 burning of a train carriage at Godhra in Gujarat.

The spokesman expressed the hope that the Government of India would now, instead of offering justification for the massacre of Muslims in Gujarat, take action against all those who planned, carried out or connived at the massacres.
