He reiterated that Kashmir dispute cannot be solved by the use of force.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Friday said that Indian strategy, which has been using force against the Kashmiri people for the past seven decades, in occupied Kashmir has completely failed.
In a statement in Islamabad on Friday, he reiterated that Kashmir dispute cannot be solved by the use of force.
The foreign minister said that India tried to use force to gag the voice of the Kashmiris through draconian laws and restrictions, adding that there is no precedent of the atrocities that have been committed in Indian illegally occupied Kashmir since August 5 last year.
He made it clear that India cannot succeed in resolving the dispute by these atrocities.
Qureshi went on to say that the Kashmiri people bury their martyrs in Pakistan s national flag, which proves that they have not accepted Indian steps.
The foreign minister recalled his recent bilateral meetings on sidelines of the ECO meeting, during which he drew attention of the world towards unresolved Kashmir issue.
He said Prime Minister Imran Khan will talk on Kashmir issue during his address in upcoming session of UN General Assembly on September 25.
FM Qureshi termed success on Reko Diq issue as a big success and major relief to country s economy, which was under pressure due to COVID-19.
