“You are watching that people of Balochistan have strongly reacted against Indian Prime Minister Modi’s statements over Balochistan by coming on roads and taking out protesting rallies”, he added.

The Indian media had reported that a meeting of all political parties in India presided over by Prime Minister Narendra Modi this week dismissed the UNHRC’s request to visit Kashmir.

Pakistan vociferously condemned Modi’s statements on Balochistan, GB and Kashmir and maintains that his statements revealed role of RAW in Balochistan.
The invitation was extended amid tension in bilateral ties due to the war of words between the two nations over the issue.
Undeterred by the Indian strategy, the spokesperson said Prime Minister Nawaz will forcefully raise the Kashmir issue particularly with reference to what he called ongoing atrocities being committed by Indian forces there at the upcoming UN General Assembly session in NY.
Pakistan, capitalising on the unrest in Kashmir valley after the encounter of Hizbul Mujahideen operative Burhan Wani, has been raising the issue on global fora, forcing the Indian government to launch a counter offensive highlighting how the neighbouring country continues to sponsor terror against India.
Later Wednesday, an Indian Embassy representative in Islamabad handed over a letter to the Pakistani government reaffirming that New Delhi would be prepared to discuss “current and relevant” concerns but not Kashmir, which is part-ruled by the two nuclear-armed neighbors.
INDIA on Wednesday rejected Pakistan’s proposal to hold Foreign Secretary-level talks on Kashmir and made it clear that terrorism was “central” to its relations with Islamabad, whose different view and attitude has made it hard for bilateral ties to grow. He, however, would not comment on the content of the Indian response. “This can be an opportunity to revive the Pakistan-India dialogue process”, the editorial said. However, he was very cautious on the human rights violations being committed by Indian forces in Kashmir.
“He (Jaishankar) said that his visit should provide the opportunity to receive a briefing from Pakistan’s foreign secretary on progress in this regard”, Swarup said.
He said that his party along with all the democratic forces of Pakistan have condemned the outrageous remarks of Modi and asked him to allow the right of self-determination to the people of Kashmir under United Nations aegis instead of dilly-dallying and prolonging the issue. We will decide on our role at an appropriate time.
Even after repeated posers by media on PoK and Balochistan issue, MEA spokeperson Vikas Swarup said that the plan of action can not be shared at this stage.
Oslo, according to him, is ready to play its part in breaking the deadlock but for that objective both sides have to agree to its role. But after the partition, India forcibly sent Army to Jammu and Kashmir.
Addressing a rally held under the banner of “Defence Council of Pakistan” in Karachi on Sunday, Saeed had claimed, “Kashmiris had announced before the partition that they wanted to remain with Pakistan”.
The human rights office wants its team on the ground in Kashmir to interview victims, witnesses and security forces and to independently assess the situation.

He added that the contrast between grim reality in IHK and AJK could not be starker.
