India taking necessary measures to protect human rights: Ban

UN-KASHMIR

United Nations, Dec 18 (PTI) India is taking necessary
measures to ensure stability, prevent violence and protect
human rights in Kashmir, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has
said.
"I understand that there have been discussions between
India and Pakistan on all matters, including this Kashmir
issue," Ban said at his annual year-end press conference here
on Friday.
"Leaders of the Indian Government have also been
discussing among themselves and taking necessary measures,
first of all, to ensure the stability and prevent violence
there and also protect human rights," the UN Secretary General
said.
Ban's remarks came after he was asked about allegations
of human rights violations in Kashmir.
"I think that for that (alleged human rights violations)
issue, my Spokesperson has been answering many times and I
think I also gave my answer to that.
"I would like to find out about specific cases - I am
not aware but maybe I'll have my Spokesperson let you know,"
Ban said when asked about allegations of torture in jails. PTI
