Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif expressed his desire to normalize the relationship with India on Wednesday, stating that Islamabad wants to solve all problems, including Kashmir, with New Delhi through conversations.
Sharif, while heading to a special session of the Legislative Assembly of Kashmir (POK) occupied by Pakistan in Muzaffarabad on the occasion of the “Kashmir Solidarity Day”, an annual Pakistani event, reiterated his support for the people of Cachmiri.
“We want all problems, including Kashmir of article 370 of the Constitution that revoked the special status of Jammu and Kashmir and bifurcó to the State in two territories of the Union.
The only way to follow for Pakistan and India is a dialogue: Sharif
Prime Minister Sharif said that the only way to follow for Pakistan and India was a dialogue, as already written in Lahore’s statement in 1999, which was agreed when the then Primera minister, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, visited Pakistan.
What is India’s position?
India has repeatedly told Pakistan that the territories of the union of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh “was and forever” will continue to be an integral part of the country. The ties between the two countries were put into a bitter after India annulled article 370. India dismissed his position by saying that normal neighborhood relations with Pakistan are only possible in an environment free of terror, hostility and violence.
Sharif also accused India of accumulating weapons, saying that the accumulation of weapons would not bring peace or change the destiny of the people of this region. He urged India to be wise, to say that the form towards progress was peace.
