Pakistan to organise international conference on Kashmir in London

ISLAMABAD - Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi has said Pakistan is planning to organize an international conference on Kashmir on 5th February next year in London to highlight Indian atrocities in the occupied Kashmir. He urged Pakistani diaspora and Kashmiris living abroad to launch a mass campaign in this regard.

The minister said Pakistan will continue extending its moral, political, and diplomatic support to the people of Kashmir in their just cause for right to self-determination. He said all political parties of Pakistan are unanimous over Kashmir issue.

He stressed the need to pass a joint resolution in the National Assembly to condemn Indian atrocities in the IHK.

To a question, the Minister said India is very cleverly using provisions of anti-terrorism laws against peaceful protests of innocent Kashmiris, which is regrettable.

To another question, he said Pakistan supports peace in Afghanistan through an intra-Afghan dialogue process. He said peace in Afghanistan is in the best interest of Pakistan as well.
