Foreign OfficeNotion of Pakistan’s isolation is ridiculous: Foreign Office

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: The Foreign Office said on Thursday that the notion of isolating to Pakistan is ridiculous, and India’s negative attitude has been exposed which is the biggest hurdle in the way of the development and prosperity of the region. 

In a weekly media briefing in Islamabad on Thursday, the Foreign Office Spokesman Nafees Zakaria deplored the Indian decision to use South Asian Association for Regional Co-operation (SAARC) for its political ambition, saying it is contrary to SAARC Charter.

   

The spokesman pointed out that in the past SAARC Summit was postponed for eight times and for five times it was due to the negative attitude of India.

Nafees Zakaria said that Indian intelligence’s are involved in subversive activities in Pakistan. He also termed the Indian treatment to the Pakistani artists very disappointing and highly regrettable.

Moreover, he said that any violation of Indus Waters Treaty by India will be unacceptable.

“Pakistan is closely watching developments in this regard,” he said adding that appropriate action will be taken in line with the Treaty in case of any violation by India.

The foreign office spokesman said that ever since the Indian brutalities increased in the wake of extra-judicial killing of Burhan Wani, voice and pressure have been mounted on India from across the world.

The spokesman said that India is making desperate attempts to divert attention from the atrocities and human rights violations being committed in Occupied Kashmir. He said that Pakistan is highlighting Indian brutalities in Occupied Kashmir at world fora and there has been very substantive outcome of these efforts.

Yesterday, the Council of Foreign Ministers of Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Tashkent adopted a very strongly worded resolution condemning Indian atrocities on defenseless Kashmiris, he said.

Zakaria said that Turkey has also reaffirmed its support to Pakistan principled stance for just solution of Kashmir dispute. He said that the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva demanded immediate release of Kashmiri human rights defender Khurram Pervez from India.

The spokesman said that international community remains concerned about the Indian crimes against humanity in Occupied Kashmir.
