The Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Tuesday in a statement commenting on the new domicile law in Jammu Kashmir stated that India’s attempt to alter Kashmir’s demographic structure by issuing a domicile certificate to 25,000 Indian nationals is illegal and in violation of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Resolutions, international law and 4th Geneva Convention.
Imran Khan added that he has approached UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and other world leaders to stop India’s unacceptable treatment of Kashmiri people.
At least 30,000 people have till now received domicile certificates online in Jammu Kashmir after the Indian government abrogated the speicla status of Jammu Kashmir and reduced the state into a Union territory.
As per the new domicile law, non-permanent residents who have residency proof of at least 15 years in Jammu Kashmir are entitled to get domicile certificates.
