Pakistan Raises Kashmir Issue, Hamid Ansari Condemns Uri In NAM Summit
Continuing with its efforts to internationalize the Kashmir issue, Pakistan on Sunday raised the matter at the NAM summit, saying the 120-nation group should be “outraged” by the situation in Kashmir.
Sartaj Aziz, Pakistan Prime Minister's Adviser on Foreign Affairs, in his address at the summit as the Pakistan delegation head said that peace in South Asia cannot be achieved without the settlement of the issue of Jammu and Kashmir in accordance with the resolutions of the UN Security Council.
‘We Should Be Outraged': Pakistan
It is tragic that 60 years after being promised, the people of Jammu and Kashmir are still waiting to exercise their inalienable right to self determination and Kashmir along with Palestine has become one of the longstanding items on the UN agenda.Sartaj Aziz, Pakistan Prime Minister's Adviser on Foreign Affairs
“We should also be outraged by the horrific images of innocent Kashmiris being killed, maimed and blinded by the use of boot force in Kashmir in the last two months,” he said.
Aziz also stated that Pakistan strongly endorses the agreement of heads of state and government in Venezuela to undertake measures to oppose “attempts to equate legitimate struggle for self-determination and national liberation with terrorism”.
‘We Condemn Terror', Says Sartaj Aziz
Aziz asserted that Pakistan fully endorses the NAM position on terrorism and violent extremism.
“We condemn terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. ..Pakistan has lost tens of thousands of lives in this fight yet is firm in its resolve to fight terrorism. Our commitment is unflinching and our actions tougher and more wide-ranging than ever,” Aziz said.
Pakistan has acquired valuable experience in successfully tackling the menace of terrorism in the past three years and therefore is ready to share this experience with other members of NAM, he said.
My government's focus has been on building a peaceful neighborhood and regional connectivity and ensuring an environment that fosters cooperation and development. However, in our view peace in South Asia cannot be achieved without the settlement of the issue of Jammu and Kashmir in accordance with the resolutions of the UN Security Council.Sartaj Aziz, Pakistan Prime Minister's Adviser on Foreign Affairs
India Condemns Uri at the Summit
His comments came on a day when 17 Indian soldiers where killed in a terror attack on an army base in Uri in Jammu and Kashmir by suspected Pakistan-based militants.
India's Vice President Hamid Ansari condemned the Uri attack at the summit saying that it was the result of “cross-border terrorism by one particular country in our region.”
“My thoughts and prayers are with the families of those whose loved ones have been killed,” Ansari said.
He also proposed the setting of a working group within NAM to combat terrorism. He also made an indirect hint towards Pakistan for meddling with this proposal.
