ISLAMABAD: Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi today (Friday) has reiterated that the Kashmir conflict could not be resolved by the use of force.
According to a statement, the Foreign Minister asserted that India’s strategy to use force against the Kashmiri people and suppressed the voice of Kashmiris has totally failed.
“India tried to use force to gag the voice of the Kashmiris through draconian laws and restrictions,” he said, adding that there was no precedent of the Indian atrocities that have been committed in illegally occupied Kashmir since August 5 last year.
Mahmood Qureshi made it clear that India cannot succeed in resolving the dispute by these atrocities. “Kashmiris bury their martyrs in Pakistan’s national flag, which proves that they have not accepted Indian steps,” he added.
He also pointed out his recent bilateral meetings on the sidelines of the Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) meeting, during which he highlighted the Indian atrocities and drew the attention of the world towards the unresolved Kashmir issue.
The Foreign Minister further informed that Prime Minister Imran Khan will also highlight the Kashmir issue during his address in the upcoming session of the United Nations (UN) General Assembly.
Commenting on the Reko Diq issue, he termed success on Reko Diq issue as a major relief to the country’s economy, which was under pressure due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
