We Want Peace In The Region, But Will Not Compromise On Kashmir, Says Pakistan Foreign Minister

Srinagar: Pakistan foreign minister, Shah Mehmood Qureshi, has said that his country wants peace, but will not compromise on Kashmir, Dawn reported.

“Pakistan wants peace in the region but will not compromise on Kashmir. We raised our voice over human rights violations in Kashmir at every forum, including the House of Commons, the United Nations and the European Union,” Qureshi said when he was asked about the recent tensions with India over Kashmir.

The foreign minister said it was a big achievement for Pakistan that despite its boycott of the Organisation of Islamic Countries meeting, the forum termed “Indian atrocities in held-Kashmir state terrorism”.

“We had already informed the world that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi could carry out some adventure in Kashmir before elections,” he said.
