India's 'hostile intent', interference in Pak would not help resolve issues in region: FO | Reiterating its concerns over the alleged interference of India in Pakistan through Afghanistan, Pakistan Foreign Office has said that the situation in the region can not improve unless New Delhi stops its covert activities. Addressing a press conference here,
Foreign Office spokesperson Abdul Basit said Pakistan wants stability in the region,
but is concern about India's involvement in its internal affairs. "We hope that
our concerns (regarding Indian interference) will be taken seriously because we
do not want this region to destabilise. Should this interference continue, I am
afraid things will not improve," The Daily Times quoted Basit, as saying. Commenting
on the long pending Kashmir issue, Basit rebuffed reports about any back-channel
diplomacy with India over the issue, and blamed India of not having the intent
to resolve the issue. "We do not see sincerity on India's part to resolve the
Kashmir dispute in accordance with UN resolutions," Basit said. "The ball is now
in India's court. Pakistan will, on its part, continue making sincere efforts
towards resolving all bilateral issues, including the Jammu and Kashmir dispute,
with a view to attaining viable and lasting peace in South Asia," he added. Referring
to the recent remarks of the Indian Army chief General Deepak Kapoor that the
Indian Armed forces were ready to fight China and Pakistan simultaneously, , Basit
said such statements showcased New Delhi's 'hostile intent' , which were not helpful
in the given circumstances. "No one should ever underestimate our capability and
determination to defend our country," he said. |
