British support for Sukkur Barrage rehabilitation sought - Murad urged international community to be voice of voiceless people of Kashmir.

KATACHI -- Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah in his maiden meeting with newly appointed British High Commissioner Mr Christian Turner took up Kashmir issue and urged him to force Indian government to stop atrocities against the people of occupied valley.

The chief minister said that Indian government has unleashed state terrorism against the people of Kashmir and their hatred against Muslims could be assessed from their Citizen (Amendment) Bill 2019 in which every foreigner was acceptable to them except, Muslims. 'Now, the India authorities have started genocide in Kashmir and have annexed the held state [Kashmir] into their umbrella by withdrawing its special status which is sheer violation of UN resolution,' he said.

Mr Shah urged the United Nations, international community and international human rights watchdogs to become voice of the voiceless people of Kashmir and liberate them from the clutches and genocide of Indian state.

Those who attended the meeting include deputy British High Commissioner Mr Mike Nithavriakis, Principal Secretary to CM Sajid Jamal Abro and others.

In the meeting, they also discussed education and health sectors in which British government wanted to invest. Mr Shah said that teachers training programme, adoption of latest teaching methods and improvement of text books were main areas where British and Sindh government could work together.

The visiting British envoy assured the chief minister that his government would defiantly support Sindh in education sector and 'we would also support Sindh government in health sector,' he said.
