JuD medical team to apply for Indian visa to travel to Kashmir

Asked about how the Indian embassy in Islamabad would entertain the JuD medical team’s request in the current circumstances, Nadeem said the Muslim Medical Mission would request the Pakistani government to help in this regard.

Meanwhile, the mission’s president Prof Dr Zafar Iqbal Chaudhry said if the Indian government does not allow its medical team to travel to Srinagar to treat the injured Kashmiris it would hold demonstrations against it.

Chaudhry claimed that it is “our duty to reach out to the injured Kashmiris for their treatment as the Indian government is not fully providing treatment to the injured”.

“A three-member Indian doctors team returned from Srinagar without treating the injured,” he alleged.

Last week JuD chief Hafiz Saeed led a ‘Kashmir Caravan’ from Lahore to Islamabad and vowed to march towards Jammu and Kashmir “till Kashmiris get freedom”. The founder of the Lashkar-e-Taiba had also demanded the Pakistan government immediately suspend ‘diplomatic and trade’ ties with India, expel the Indian ambassador here and recall its envoy from New Delhi.
