Pakistan condemns Sabzar Bhat encounter, calls it 'extra-judicial' killing

Pakistan condemned the killing of top Hizbul commander Sabzar Ahmad Bhat and other militants in Jammu and Kashmir on Saturday, and called upon the international community, including the UN and human rights organisations, to intervene in the matter.

A report  said Sartaj Aziz, the Prime Minister's adviser on foreign affairs, accused India of carrying out "extra-judicial killings" and said the country killed "12 Kashmiri youth in Kashmir since yesterday (Friday) in Pulwama and Baramulla. Three of them were martyred extra-judicially as has been done on numerous occasions in the recent past".

The adviser urged the international community to call upon India to immediately stop the "ruthless



killing of defenceless Kashmiris".
