ISLAMABAD (APP): Minister for Defence Khawaja Muhammad Asif Thursday said talks with India could not be fruitful in the wake of ongoing human rights violations in held Kashmir.
India was carrying out ethnic cleansing and genocide of innocent Kashmiris, who only wanted right to self-determination, he said talking to a private news channel.
