The minister said India has suspended the basic rights of Kashmiris since long, and is committing atrocities against them. If India thinks it has a strong stance on Kashmir, then why it fears from dialogue on it, he asked.

He said Pakistan has showed the world through its actions that Islamabad desires peace and stability in the region.

FM Qureshi regretted that India did not pay any heed to Prime Minister Imran Khan’s offer to advance peace rather took such steps which further aggravated the situation in the IIOJ&K.

He said the Indian government has failed to suppress the protesting farmers, and now the entire India is endorsing their voices.
