US Congress lawmakers have expressed profound concern on the ongoing human rights violations in Indian occupied Kashmir. Chairman of the US House Foreign Affairs Committee Eliot Engel told a private news channel that the US Congress will conduct its own ‘investigation and fact-finding’. “There are things happening in Kashmir that are very troubling, they are troubling me, to my colleagues and people here,” said the US lawmaker. “We don’t think we can turn our heads and pretend it is not happening, it cannot be swept under the rug,” said the US lawmaker. He added that the Congress plays a very important role certainly in war and peace, and likewise in human rights violations, expressing hope that a lot of things will be done in US President Donald Trump’s administration.
