India should stop its conspiracies to destabilise Pakistan:FO

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Thursday called upon India to stop its 'conspiracies' and 'proxy wars' aimed at destabilising Pakistan.

Foreign Office spokesman Qazi Khalilullah in a weekly news briefing said that Pakistan has given three dossiers to the United Nations (UN) Secretary-General containing evidence of Indian involvement in Balochistan, Karachi and its support to Tehrek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) rebels.

The spokesman said Indian accusations regarding Pakistan's involvement in terrorism on their soil have always turned out to be fake.

Khalilullah also condemned the recent unpleasant incidents of maltreatment of Pakistani citizens in the neighbouring country, citing the incidents during former foreign minister Khursheed Kasuri's visit and ghazal singer Ghulam Ali'scancelled event, but expressed hope that the Indian government will take steps to avoid occurrence of such incidents in future.

Reiterating Pakistan's stance, the spokesman said that Pakistan is ready talk on all issues with India provided there are no pre-conditions and the core issue of Kashmir is included in the agenda.

"What the people of Indian Kashmir are facing is also called state terrorism," said Qazi Khalilullah.

Khalilullah confirmed that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has invited Kashmir's All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) leader Syed Ali Gilani to Pakistan.

About the PM's visit to the United States, he said Nawaz Sharif will visit the US on President Barack Obama's invitation between October 20 and 23.

"The PM will meet top government officials in the US to discuss matters pertaining to regional security and other issues of mutual interest," said Khalilullah.

In reply to a question, Khalilullah said that there are no footprints of self-styled extremist group Islamic State (IS) in Pakistan.

The FO spokesman also condemned what he termed a 'fresh wave of violence' by Israeli forces against Palestinians.

It is irrelevant what Pakistanis tell Indians and vice versa, because Indians lack the will to solve the problems between Pakistan and india once and for all, because that is what suits them. There is no need even to announce that we don't want to talk to them, because India will never stop conspiring against Pakistan, it is their sheer nature. How fruitful those talks will prove to be can be judged by the comments shared on internet between Pakistan and india, they are always at loggersheads. Case closed.

It is time both India and Pakistan take a new approach to their relations. The first step would be to get rid of these old school fellows like Qazi Khalilullah who grew up in an environment where one's love and patriotism was measured in inverse portion to one's hatred for and hostility towards India. Both countries should learn from the recent example of the US. After denying recognition to communist Cuba for sixty years, President Obama established diplomatic relation with it and said we cannot expect different result if we continue to do the same thing over and over again. Both India and Pakistan need a new crop of policy makers especially in the area of foreign affairs who will think outside the old box. Working people of both countries would like their children to have good health, education and affordable housing so that they could contribute to growth and advancement of their countries. No one has benefited from this hostility except the big armament industry.

@A common Pakistani... Give me one country where Pakistanis are not in trouble or in some way not pointed to as part of a problem... Believe me or not, we Indians do not have any ill feelings against Pakistan, but there is constant denial in not resolving your internal problems and trying to blame it on Indians from decades... This is the job of leadership which has not provided enlightened masses with factual data and have relied on rhetoric all along unfortunately... That leave Indians to always keep defending and you take it as ill feeling, again unfortunately... So in Hasan Nissar's words "Governement's job is to build nation's attitude" and unfortunately Pak government has failed miserably in this arduous task all along.

And how Pakistan's fixation to Kashmir is harming its growth as if Pakistan is a goldfish where she can only do one thing at a time. Pakistan is only showing sign of progress with improved security situation and a huge amount of investment in the form of CPEC. Pakistanis are feeling safer under the guidance of CAOS Raheel and have laid a foundation for further growth in the future.

if Pakistan believes Kashmir should have the right of self determination, lead the way, just by calling a territory Azad and naming the head as Prime Minister, it is not independent, stop using Kashmir's resources, stop taking tax from the people, help in developing an Army for Kashmir, just by going to UN and saying Kashmir the issue is not going to resolve.

Modi era started with a hope of better relationship with Pakistan but later it proved to be difficult as long as the military calling shots for Pak Govt. Pakistan’s agreement to expedite the 2008 Mumbai terror attack trial and no specific mention of Kashmir was viewed as a sign of a changing mindset in Pakistan. But the euphoria collapsed within hours as Pakistan went back on a number of its commitments. Especially when Sartaz Aziz made it clear that some terrorists are not harmful to Pakistan and more information would be required to resume the trial of Zaki-ur Rehman Lakhvi. Game over...

@sri I think you are rather exaggerating what Pakistan takes a stand for in Kashmir problem. Just recently, the US PRESIDENT didn't categorically call Kashmir as an essential part of India, rather he called it an issue that needs resolution. I think you should remain updated with the latest developments, moreover, Pakistani administration called Kashmir as an unresolved problem. Just today A court in Occupied Kashmir gave the ruling that Kashmir is not a part of India. So I have given you many points, do you still challenge what I said ?

@Bharatiya Just briefly, there isn't any intellectualism left for answering you, I can not answer for someone's twist of mind or bias that he be obliged to think about others in a negative manner. If you think fairly, you will realize that there is no nation on earth which is perfectly compatible with one another, but when some nations have some bias against a particular nation, then extremist attitudes appear just like your statement that Pakistan is a problem in every corner of the world. That is your extremism which is speaking volumes here because that is not what I would allege India to be, that India is the root of evil, biased statements like that. I would rather ignore such an extremist mindset. What reply should I give to someone who is clearly in wrong.

Pak will withdraw all tribesmen and Pakistani nationals not normally resident therein who have entered the State for the purpose of fighting and maintain the status of 1947 3. Pak will ask China to vacate the part of Kashmir it gifted to china. Do these and then speak of Plebiscite.
