While making an intervention during the 45th Session of the UNHRC in Geneva on Thursday, Raja said POK election Act 2020 has taken away all constitutional, civil and political rights of the citizens of the region.

“We the people of Pakistan occupied Kashmir plead the council to stop Pakistan from treating us like animals," he said breaking down into tears while delivering his speech.

"The POK election Act 2020 has taken away all of our constitutional, civil and political rights," he said.

"Our activities opposing accession to Pakistan have been declared anti-state in flagrant violations of United Nations Resolutions," he said.

On the recent development in the Gilgit-Baltistan region, he said: “Pakistan is now trying to declare disputed territory of Gilgit Baltistan as its province, thus, depriving our people of their land and their identity and culture. Pakistan’s revisionist moves would throw the whole world into a brutal war.”

He said the people of PoK are treated as 'traitors'.

He claimed Pakistan is 'brainwashing innocent youth' on both sides of the border in Jammu and Kashmir making them cannon fodder in the proxy war with India.

"Pakistan continues to run terror camps from POK,” he said.
