ISLAMABAD: Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on ational security, Dr. Moeed Yousuf reiterated on Thursday that Pakistan may enter into talks with India but said before any such engagement New Delhi will have to reverse its August 5 move.
India on August 5, 2019 amended its constitution and revoked special status of the state of Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IOJ&K) while also imposing a lockdown in the disputed Himalayan valley.
Speaking at an international conference titled “Covid-19 Kashmir Media Conference” organized by Organization for Kashmir Coalition (OKC) in London through video link, Yousuf said that the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolutions are the only mechanism to solve the Kashmir dispute and India should reverse its August 05, 2019 actions before any substantive and meaningful dialogue is possible.
Dr Yusuf said that Modi government was using the global Covid-19 crisis as a cover to increase its oppression of innocent Kashmiris.
“The international community, the United Nations and health related international organizations need to take serious note of the urgent humanitarian situation in the IOJ&K and ensure immediate medical relief and supplies,” he added.
He stressed upon the global media to view India afresh by recognizing the fascist ideology being promoted by the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) against Muslims and especially Kashmiris. He noted that fascism has not posed such a serious threat to regional and global peace since Adolf Hitler.
