Earlier, in the National Security Committee (NSC) meeting, Pakistan warned the world that an escalation along Line of Control (LoC) and eastern borders would shift Pakistan’s focus away from the efforts to eliminate terrorism from its soil at a critical stage, proving detrimental to the successes made by the country in the war on terror.

All the chief ministers Shahbaz Sharif, Murad Ali Shah, Pervaiz Khattak, Sanaullah Zehri, Hafiz Hafeez-ur-Rehman, ISI DG Lt-Gen Rizwan Akhtar, DGMO Maj Gen Sahir Shamshad Mirza, DGMI Maj Gen Zaki Manj, Secretary NSC Muhammad Sadiq and Intelligence Bureau DG Aftab Sultan also participated in the meeting on special invitation.

Nawaz said the people in Indian-occupied Kashmir were struggling for their inalienable right of self-determination, guaranteed by the world through the UN Security Council resolutions, which could **t be suppressed through brutal oppression by the Indian occupation forces.
“It is imperative that the UN and the world countries should fulfill their longstanding commitment to the in**cent and defenseless people of Indian-occupied Kashmir,” the prime minister emphasized.
“Pakistan and Kashmir are inseparable. We will continue to extend our moral, political and diplomatic support to the Kashmiri people at every forum,” Nawaz reiterated.
“Pakistan does **t cherish aggressive designs against any country or nation. We believe in peace and collective betterment.

The participants of the meeting **ted that Pakistan was effectively fighting terrorism and had made phe**menal progresses in war against terrorism. The escalation along LoC and eastern borders would shift Pakistan’s focus away from the efforts to eliminate terrorism from its soil at a critical stage and was detrimental to the successes made by Pakistan in war on terror, they said. “Nevertheless, Pakistani nation and its armed forces are fully prepared to respond to any threats.”
Referring to recent propaganda and false claims of ‘surgical strikes’ made by India, the forum concluded that India should resolve the longstanding issue of Kashmir for enduring peace in the region, instead of diverting attention of the world through such tricks.
India must stop atrocities in Occupied Kashmir and recognize the just and legitimate struggle of Kashmiris for their right to self-determination.
