Look inside, stop blaming us: Pak replies to India
NEW DELHI: Unfazed by New Delhis strongly worded rebuff, Islamabad continues its unrelentless efforts to internationalise the ongoing situation in Jammu and Kashmir.
Islamabad has asked New Delhi to introspect on its policies instead of blaming Islamabad for the violence in the state. Pakistans Foreign Office spokesman Abdul Basit said on Saturday that India should adhere to accepted human rights standards rather than stereotypically blaming Pakistan.
Wise to Islamabads efforts, New Delhi has drawn attention to the possibility of rise in infiltration and terror activity while using the violence in the state as a cover. The government has clarified that the situation in the northern state is an internal matter. Indias Army chief VK Singh warned that Pakistan might try and take advantage of the unrest in Jammu and Kashmir.
General Singh has suggested the possibility of a link between increased incidences of infiltration and the unrest in the Kashmir Valley. The Army chiefs alert comes a day after New Delhi took on Islamabad for its gratuitous statements on Jammu and Kashmir. In its strongly worded response, New Delhi had asked Islamabad to concentrate on dismantling the terror infrastructure on its territory and take action against cross-border inflitration.
New Delhis response followed by the Army chiefs comment have sought to bring the spotlight back on terror.
Islamabad has attempted through its statement on gross and systematic abuse of human rights and Indian repression to turn international attention on the situation in Kashmir. There has been no statements from international leaders on the protests in the state. It has been largely seen as Indias domestic concern. A fact that New Delhi made clear in its response to Pakistan foreign minister Mahmood Shah Qureshis comment. The external affairs ministry in its statement had said that Pakistans gratuitous statements amounted to interference in the internal affairs of India.
Mr Qureshis attempt to put Kashmir on the table was firmly dealt with by India.
Unwilling to lose the opportunity accorded by the ongoing violence in the Valley, the pakistani foreign office persisted in its efforts to internationalise the issue. Jammu and Kashmir is an international dispute and the subject of several UN Security Council resolutions. Instead of stereotypically blaming Pakistan, India should undertake serious introspection of its policies that are in sharp variance to its international commitments, including adherence to accepted human rights standards, Mr Basit said.
