Instead of worrying about human rights violations in Kashmir, Qureshi should speak about the atrocities being committed by the Pakistani army in Balochistan and what his government is doing to prevent human rights violations against the Baloch? He should tell, is it not a human rights violation by the Pakistani army to kidnap and kill Baloch from home without any reason? Is the rape of Baloch women by the army not a human rights violation? Qureshi should first move towards improving his domestic issues and then speak on the issues of others.
