The European Parliament will debate an urgent resolution for human rights violations in Indian occupied Kashmir on Tuesday at Strasbourg city in France.

The European Union’s high representative for Foreign Affairs and Security policy, Federica Mogherini will deliver a detailed policy statement on the Kashmir situation.

It is second time in the EP’s history that it would open debate on the Kashmir issue, the last time being in July 2008 when it discussed mass graves in Indian-occupied Kashmir.

It is, therefore, another foreign policy milestone for Pakistan given the efforts of Pakistani and Kashmiri diaspora to raise their voices in the EU.
