New Delhi, June 10 -- India on Tuesday dismissed accusations from Pakistani authorities of involvement in violent protests in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) that have left 11 people dead, and urged the world community to hold Islamabad accountable for its misdeeds and human rights abuses. Seven civilians and four policemen were killed during clashes between police and protesters belonging to the Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) at Rawalakot in PoK on Sunday. The Pakistan government has outlawed JAAC, which has been spearheading protests to demand the abolition of 12 seats for refugees in the PoK assembly ahead of elections scheduled for July 27.

It is a desperate attempt by Pakistan to cover up its own failings and deflect attention away from its human rights abuses." Jaiswal said there are "several reports of severe police brutality" in PoK that resulted in several deaths and left others injured. "We hope the international community will hold Pakistan accountable for its misdeeds and abuses," he said. The JAAC has demanded the abolition of 12 seats reserved for refugees from the Indian region of Jammu and Kashmir, who settled in Pakistan after 1947. The JAAC has alleged that these seats are often misused by Pakistani political parties to influence the formation of governments in PoK.

There are also allegations that Pakistan's military has had a hand in manipulating legislators elected to these 12 seats to influence the formation of the government in PoK, they said....
