India slams Pakistan over POK unrest: Cites human rights abuses; deaths

India strongly condemned Pakistan’s “oppressive approach” and human rights abuses amidst violent protests in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (POK), where eight deaths are confirmed. India reiterated POK’s integral status, demanding Pakistan vacate illegally occupied territories. Pakistan’s PM expressed concern, dispatching a delegation to address the unrest, which stemmed from failed talks with protesters over resource plundering.
