KARACHI: Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that cannot talk to India until the status of Occupied Kashmir is restored.
The foreign minister has returned to Pakistan after attending the meeting of the Foreign Council of Ministers of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in India. Speaking to the media in Karachi, he said that he highlighted the Kashmir cause on Indian soil, among the Indian people. “I was running a one-sided narrative about Kashmir,” he said.
“پاکستان کا اصولی مؤقف آج بھی وہی ہے کہ جب تک بھارت کشمیر میں اگست 5، 2019 کے غیر قانونی اقدامات کو واپس نہیں لیتا ہم ڈائیلاگ نہیں کرسکتے۔”

Bilawal Bhutto said that in Pakistan the people of the minority community are also elected members of the National Assembly. He was surprised to know that the BJP in India does not allow any Muslim political leader to enter the assembly. In Pakistan, minorities have equal rights.
The foreign minister further said that whoever he met has praised the CPEC project, every SCO member except India appreciates the CPEC and Pakistan’s sacrifices against terrorists should be conveyed to the world.
