NEW YORK, August 30: Dialogue can start only when India reverses its illegal annexation of Kashmir, ends the curfew and lockdown, and withdraws its troops to the barracks, says an article written by Prime Minister Imran Khan, which was published in The New York Times.
The article, titled The world can’t ignore Kashmir. We are all in
danger, was published on Friday, coinciding with the government’s call to observe Kashmir Hour across the country show solidarity with Kashmiris in India-occupied Kashmir, whose rights were stripped by the Indian government earlier this month. In the article, which was published shortly after his address, the premier reiterated the importance of dialogue. With the nuclear shadow hovering over South Asia, we realise that Pakistan and India have to move out of a zero-sum mindset to begin dialogue on Kashmir, various strategic matters and trade. On Kashmir, the dialogue must include all stakeholders, especially the Kashmiris, he wrote. – NNI
