Pakistan FM Shah Mehmood Qureshi writes letter to UN Security Council Chief over Pulwama incident

ISLAMABAD - Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has said he wrote a letter to the President of the UN Security Council drawing his attention towards the tension in Pak-India relations following Pulwama attack and implementation of the Security Council's resolutions on Jammu and Kashmir.

He said Pakistan has comprehensively presented its stance before the world body and expressed the confidence that the Security Council will play its role.

He has said that it is not Pakistan, but India, which is flaring up tension in the region through its jingoism following the Pulwama attack.

While talking to Radio Pakistan's News and Current Affairs Channel today, he said Pakistan seeks cooperation and dialogue for resolution of all outstanding disputes.

He, however, regretted that the Indian side is resorting to warmongering.

The Foreign Minister said that he has written a letter to the UN Secretary General to play its role in defusing the current tension.

He said India also needs to act responsibly as voices are also rising from inside India against the Modi Junta's rhetoric describing Pulwama incident as the internal security intelligence lapse.

The Foreign Minister said the main India opposition party Congress, while criticizing Prime Minister Modi, has said that the BJP government is using Pulwama incident for its political motives. He said the person, vehicle and ammunition used in the attack were also indigenous.
