In a press statement here a spokesman of the Pakistan Foreign Office said the Home Minister's ``diatribe reeked of his anti-Pakistan mindset''. He maintained that the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi scrupulously adhered to the diplomatic norms as codified in the Vienna Convention of 1961 on Diplomatic Relations. All financial transactions by the Pakistan High Commission were routed through official banking channels in full compliance with the relevant Indian laws. In a separate statement, Pakistan strongly condemned the reported decision of the Indian Government to ban the Dukhtaran-e-Millat, a representative organisation of Kashmiri women, under the Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA). ``It is a matter of grave concern for the Government of Pakistan that the Indian forces of occupation continue their efforts to arrest Aasiya Andrabi, head of the Dukhtaran-e-Millat and other leaders of the freedom movement.'' ``The Government of Pakistan calls upon the Indian Government to respect the fundamental human rights of the Kashmiri people and to put an end to their brutal suppression. It should also immediately release APHC leaders, Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Yasin Malik and Abdul Aziz Sheikh and other Kashmiri political activists,'' it said.
