On October 3, Foreign Office had summoned the Indian Charge d’Affaires (Cd’A) and conveyed the government of Pakistan’s serious concerns over the deteriorating health condition of Hurriyat leader Altaf Ahmed Shah who had been incarcerated at the infamous Tihar Jail for the last five years.

The Indian diplomat was told that the Indian authorities’ failure to provide adequate medical care to Altaf Ahmed Shah, who had been diagnosed with renal cancer, was extremely disappointing. As a result of this negligence, Shah’s condition was worsening and the cancer was spreading to other parts of his body

It noted with deep regret that despite repeated appeals by the family of Altaf Ahmed Shah, including letters addressed to the Indian Prime Minister, no action had been taken with regard to his health condition.
