He said the war was not an option between the two neighbouring countries and stressed that such concepts should not be given attention.
He said Pakistan wanted a peaceful resolution of all the outstanding issues with India, but the latter was evading result oriented talks.
During an interview aired by a private Tv channel, the High Commissioner said the framework for the negotiations had already been reached by both countries in last year, the only thing way forward was the modus operandi over its implementation.
Basit also dismissed the scope of limited war as talked by the Indian hawks. "Hope the good sense will prevail and through diplomacy, we would be able to defuse the tensions," he added.

About the grave human rights situation in IoK, Basit said during Prime Minister Sharif's address, Uri incident occurred and then came the false claims of surgical strikes. All these ploys were made to divert international attention from the serious situation in IoK.
He lamented that during these happenings, the blood of innocent Kashmiris spilled over in the IoK.
But the voices within India were raised and even the political parties questioned the Indian government's claims of surgical strikes.
