Modi avoids questions from Pakistani journalists
Indian PM was asked about the human rights violations in held Kashmir at which he remained silent
ASTANA (Dunya News) – Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was reluctant to answer questions from Pakistani journalists on Friday, after the 17th meeting of the Heads of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit.
As soon as he was asked about the humanitarian violations in Indian held Kashmir, he chose to quickly escape from the media scene. Modi remained silent about the loss of innocent lives in the occupied valley.
It was highly inappropriate of the Indian PM to avoid journalists from across the border. He refused to answer their questions. Apart from avoiding to comment on Kashmir unrest, he also remained silent on question regarding India-Pakistan rift, peace process between the arch-rivals and his take on the future ties.
He straight away went outside the lobby and remained his distance with the Pakistani journalists. It should be noted that the Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Modi had an informal meeting at the SCO summit. The Indian counterpart asked about the health of Sharif s mother and his family.
Both India and Pakistan have joined SCO, a security bloc spearheaded by China and Russia.
