By Hamza Ameer Islamabad, Jan 27 : Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has dared India to come to the dialogue table with Pakistan over the Kashmir dispute, if it is so sure about its stance and standing on the matter.
Qureshi accused India of being “fearful of dialogue” because of what he called, its “state-run brutalities in Jammu & Kashmir.” “India did not pay heed to Prime Minister Imran Khan’s offer for peace talks. The country instead took measures that further escalated the situation in Indian-occupied Kashmir,” he said.
Qureshi claimed that Kashmir is an internationally recognised dispute, urging that use of force is not the solution to resolve the longstanding issue between Pakistan and India.
“India has been suppressing the rights of Kashmiris and taking atrocious steps against them for decades,” he alleged.
“Kashmir has turned into a flashpoint between the two nuclear-armed neighbours,” he added.
