ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Thursday ruled out the possibility of holding Composite Dialogue with India without having Kashmir issue on agenda, saying Kashmir remained the centre of its relations with India.
While briefing media person at Foreign Office, Spokesman said that Kashmir will be the core issue in any dialogue with India, whenever it takes place.
Spokesman Nafees Zakaria said “Kashmir is our national objective” and Pakistan would continue to support Kashmiris’ right to self-determination.
“Paksitan has a principle position on the issue of Kashmir, which is to continue extending moral, political and diplomatic support to Kashmiris for their demand of implementation of UN Security Council resolutions,” he said.
The Spokesman said presence of 800,000 Indian security personnel in Occupied Kashmir was a clear example of India controlling over the people of Kashmir against their wishes.
“India’s efforts to misguide international community and portraying of Kashmiris’ indigenous movement as an act of terrorism will never succeed,” he stressed.
Zakaria said killing of innocent Kashmiris could not be condoned under the guise of calling it terrorism and emphasized that international community needed to take notice of human rights violations in Kashmir.
“The people in Jammu and Kashmir have been struggling for last 68 years for their just right as Indian government is indulging in state-terrorism,” he said.
