FM Shah Qureshi denounces India for accusing Pakistan without evidence in Pulwama attack

He asserted that Pakistan would benefit the most from peace in Afghanistan.

MUNICH (Web Desk) – Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Saturday denounced India for making groundless accusations against Pakistan following the car-bomb attack in Pulwama, Indian-Occupied Kashmir (IOK), and asserted that if there were any evidence against Pakistan, it must be shared. Addressing a panel discussion on "Update on Afghanistan" during the Munich Security Conference, he said that Pakistan has sincerely responded to the US request for facilitating the peace and reconciliation process in Afghanistan that led to direct US-Taliban talks in Abu Dhabi and Doha. Pakistan has wanted to see a genuine and inclusive peace and reconciliation process with full Afghan ownership, he added. The minister said important breakthroughs have been achieved by the two sides and more progress is expected in upcoming rounds of negotiations in Doha. He briefed audience about Prime Minister Imran Khan’s long-standing vision for a peaceful settlement of Afghan conflict as opposed to finding a military solution. Shah Mehmood Qureshi said no country other than Pakistan would benefit more from peace in Afghanistan because after Afghanistan no other country has suffered as much as Pakistan.
