ISLAMABAD, September 3: Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has emphatically stated that Pakistan will continue to sensitize the world about unspeakable sufferings of the people in occupied Kashmir and the Indian atrocities there.
He was addressing a seminar on foreign policy organized by PILDAT in Islamabad on Tuesday morning. The Foreign Minister made it clear that Pakistan will not stay quiet on the dangerous situation prevailing in occupied Kashmir.
Shah Mahmood Qureshi noted that the greater challenge for us today is how to stand up to Hindutava ideology and add greater momentum to our moral, political and diplomatic support for the just struggle of Kashmiri people for their right to self-determination while preserving peace.
The Foreign Minister said Pakistan has undertaken a diplomatic surge in the wake India’s unilateral actions and security lockdown in occupied Kashmir. He said Pakistan has acted with responsibility but with firm resolve that their actions are unacceptable.
We downgraded diplomatic relations and suspended bilateral trade with India. Rail and bus services have also been stopped. He said we are reviewing other existing bilateral arrangements with India. Voicing serious concerns over the current situation in occupied Kashmir, the Foreign Minister said the Indian brutality is cascading into a humanitarian disaster. – DNA
