ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Human Rights Shireen Mazari has reminded how India used rape as a weapon of war in Occupied Kashmir and continues to carry out the horrendous crime.
On the occasion of International Day for Elimination of Sexual Violence, the federal minister in a tweet wrote how on 23rd February 1991, mass rape by Occupation Indian forces happened in Kunan and Poshpora villages.
Today is Int Day for Elimination of Sexual Violence. Govts always seek to eliminate this horrendous crime as societies all over face it. What is condemnable is when govts themselves use sexual violence as a policy as Occupation Indian govts have been doing continuously in IOJK

In another tweet, the minister said that it was Indian premier Narendra Modi’s government that continues carrying out such crime in IoK.
Rape as a weapon of war has been used by Indian State in IOJK – remember 23 Feb 1991 mass rape by Occupation Indian forces in Kunan & Poshpora villages one of many such incidents now internationally documented. Modi’s Hindutva Supremacist govt continues carrying out this crime.
