India invited to discuss Kashmir at end of month
Foreign secretary delivers letter to Indian high commissioner
ISLAMABAD: The Indian High Commissioner, Gautam Bambawale, was called in Friday by Foreign Secretary Aizaz Chaudhry and a reply to the letter of the Indian foreign secretary was handed to him, said the spokesman at the Foreign ******. “The letter invites the Indian foreign secretary to visit Islamabad by the end of this month to discuss the Jammu & Kashmir dispute, with a view to finding a fair and just solution, as per the United Nations Security Council resolutions and aspirations of the people of Jammu & Kashmir.” In the second letter that Chaudhury has shot off to his counterpart, there is **t much change from the earlier invitation. Pakistan at the time had said that India’s policy of **t engaging in a comprehensive dialogue with Pakistan was **t conducive for peace in South Asia. “Pakistan has also called for putting an immediate end to the human rights violations against the in**cent people of Indian occupied Jammu & Kashmir, who are struggling for their right of self-determination, and for providing medical facilities to the injured in the Indian occupied Jammu & Kashmir, including the permission for doctors and paramedics to travel,” Chaudhury added in his letter. Caught between a rock and hard place with the international community, specially the United Nations breathing down its neck, New Delhi desperate to get focus off from the continuing unrest inside the Indian held Kashmir, could agree to send its Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar to Islamabad at the end of August. The development comes at a time when UN Secretary General informed Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif that he appreciated the continued commitment of Pakistan to the peaceful resolution of the Kashmir issue and the UN deplored the loss of life inside Kashmir and hoped that all efforts will be made to avoid further violence. In New Delhi facing pressure from inside India, Prime Minister Modi met the National Party leaders on Friday to seek ways to end weeks of unrest in Kashmir. Behind closed doors, despite India’s posturing and a daily dose of rhetoric against Pakistan, both countries through weekly letters are inching close to a meeting. In public at least both capitals are maintaining their stated positions and **t budging an inch. Despite the ve**mous response from S Jainshankar thatreached Islamabad on Wednesday, Pakistan’s Foreign Secretary Aizaz Chaudhry felt encouraged to suggest a rough date to his Indian counterpart on Friday. Reports from Srinagar on Friday say that doctors at the hospital were exhausted, with one saying they had performed more eye operations in the past month than they had over the last three years. "We have here less number of beds and staff. We are in physical and mental stress," said Nisarul Hassan, senior consultant at SMHS hospital who was forced to use an ambulance to get back home. The News understands from diplomatic sources that the text of Friday’s letter to New Delhi highlights the fact that Kashmir is an unfinished agenda very much present in the UN Security Council Agenda. Pakistan also pointed out that India’s reference to terrorism is relevant because this country has faced several terrorist attacks, which killed thousands of its citizens and lately inside Balochistan, where an arrested RAW agent has confessed to India’s role in the country’s largest province and in its business hub Karachi. Indian media reports say that police extended a curfew in parts of the Muslim-majority territory for a 35th day on Friday and mobile telephone networks were suspended from late on Thursday due to worries about fresh violence following the Friday prayers. National opposition leaders have stepped up calls for an all-party delegation to visit Kashmir for talks with regional leaders. “Unless there is an ack**wledgement among all political parties in India that Kashmir is a dispute and **t an internal issue and has to be addressed accordingly, there is very little chance of the situation improving or real peace returning,” said APHC Chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq. Added to the endless brutalities that continue inside IHK, western news agencies say that the Indian army has admitted to, and apologised for, the death of a young college lecturer in one beating. A senior army ******r said on Friday the forces were trying **t to react to acts of provocation. أكثر... ??????? ??????: India invited to discuss Kashmir at end of month || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
