Kashmir issue

Published December 8, 2017

THIS is apropos the news briefing by the foreign office spokesperson, Dr Muhammad Faisal, (Nov 16) in which he offered India to resume dialogue over Kashmir and other pending issues.

There is no sign of India sitting with Pakistan for negotiation’s given the former’s animosity towards Pakistan. On the one hand, India has been patronising a handful of anti-Pakistan elements, who want to create anarchy in Balochistan.

On the other, it has been provoking the Afghan government into believing that Pakistan is its enemy.

The current incident in London, where anti-Pakistan posters ‘Free Balochistan’ and ‘Save Baloch people’ appeared on buses is a case in point. It was aimed at focussing the world’s attention towards Pakistan’s internal matter.

India also got ‘Free Balochistan’ posters pasted on buses in Switzerland. The purpose of the campaign was to divert the world’s attention from the Kashmir issue.

Now there are reports that India’s Research and Analysis Wing has established a cell with over $500 million to sabotage the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor project.

It is time our government exposed India’s evil designs
