“Pakistan has nothing to gain from this attack…”
Shabir Ahmad Shah on Thursday hailed the speech of Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in the UN General Assembly and termed it a “voice of the oppressed people of Jammu Kashmir”.
Sharif mentioned sending a dossier to the UN Secretary-General about the violence in Kashmir, but Swarup said that the handout given by Ban Ki-moon’s makes no mention of any dossier and has said that the issue needs to be resolved unilaterally.
Nafees Zakaria said that over 110 Kashmiris have so far been martyred while over 10,000 injured. He said about 800 innocent civilians have lost eye sight due to the use of pellet guns by the Indian security forces.
“What my country and our other neighbours are facing today is Pakistan’s long-standing policy of sponsoring terrorism, the consequences of which have spread well beyond our region”, she added. He said it has been substantiated by confession of the Indian spy Kulbhushan Yadev. “There was no mention of intervention by United Nations”, he added.
Minister for Defence Production Rana Tanveer Hussain says Pakistan is fully prepared to face any adventurism from India.
The spokesperson said that the request by Baloch leader Brahmdagh Bugti to seek asylum in India “only confirms that India was deeply involved in terrorism in Balochistan”.
To a question about the ongoing exercise of the Pakistan Air Force, the spokesman said it was a routine matter and added that the entire nation stood along with its armed forces to defend its motherland at all costs.
He said that, on the contrary, virtually every country has referred to terrorism as the main threat to global peace and security, a fact that Pakistan still remains in denial of.

With New Delhi launching a diplomatic blitz against Islamabad following Sunday’s cross-border terror attack on an army base in Kashmir, there seems a possibility of India revisiting the Indus Waters Treaty that was signed with Pakistan in 1960. He said they were Afghans’ American nationals and residing in the US for years.
