At the meeting that continued for one and a half hours, the JI chief said that more than six lakh Indian troops in Held Kashmir had been subjecting the Kashmiris to the worst form of torture for the last seventy one years and had made life miserable for the Kashmiris.
He said that the reports of the international human rights bodies were openly talking of the excesses of the Indian forces but the world media and the world community had shut their eyes to the problem. Sirajul Haq said that India herself had taken the Kashmir issue to the United Nations and promised plebiscite for the Kashmiris but had backed out later.
He said the Kashmir issue was the core issue between two nuclear powers, Pakistan and India. He expressed the hope that France as a strong democratic state would play an important role in the solution of the human issue.
The French envoy expressed deep grief over the huge human and financial losses being caused due to the Kashmir issue and expressed the hope that the world community and Pakistan and India would be able to resolve the simmering issue through dialogue on the basis of historic and legal background.
The envoy said that Germany and France who had serious historic issues between them, had finally been able to resolve these and India and Pakistan should follow suit in the same spirit.
