ISLAMABAD: Foreign Office Spokesperson Nafees Zakria Saturday said that Pakistan wanted a meaningful, sustainable and result oriented dialogue with India on Kashmir issue.
Talking to media, he said, “Pakistan had initiated a composite dialogue with India in the past but the latter had not shown seriousness to resolve the issue.”
He said, “Pakistani and international media had made headlines on Kashmir issue to highlight Indian atrocities and barbarism on innocent Kashmiris.”
Nafees Zakria said “One million Indian troops and paramilitary forces were present in Kashmir.”
“We cannot initiate talks with India in such worsened circumstances in the valley,” he added.
He said, “International community had been putting pressure on Indian authorities to stop cruelities on the people of Kashmir.”
He said, “Pakistan had highlighted Indian atrocities on innocent people of Kashmir at international forum adding it wanted immediate end to human rights violation and bloodshed in Indian Held Kashmir (IHK).”
Zakaria said, “India was trying to convert Kashmiris into minority and change demography of Kashmir by settling Indian retired officials in the occupied valley.”
He said, “Kashmiris were determined for their right of freedom, right to self determination as per resolutions of United Nations (UN).”
“Indian government had failed to protect basic rights of minorities in India,” he said.
