ISLAMABAD: Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJK) Prime Minister Raja Farooq Haider Sunday said Indian prime minister was escalating tension on LoC before the election for political reasons and could go to any extent after having banned Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) and now Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF).He urged the world community here at a news conference for playing its due role in finding a solution to the lingering Kashmir dispute before it was too late, as already Indian occupation forces in Indian Held Kashmir (IHK) had crossed all limits.He said they needed to project and highlight the ongoing Indian worst right abuses in IHK against men, women and even young children, at international forums to unmask the ugly face of India.
