Stop inciting violence, India tells Pakistan
[DAWN] NEW DELHI: India accused Pakistain on Thursday of harnessing "UN-designated terrorists" to lead alleged incitement to violence in the disputed state of Jammu and Kashmire even as it reminded Islamabad to ensure full protection to its diplomatic mission against violence by protesters.Responding to media questions, a foreign ministry spokesperson spelled out a familiar demand, which usually surfaces when ties between the two countries hit a fresh low -- that Pakistain should vacate its side of Kashmire. "We have seen reports about rallies, events and statements related to Jammu & Kashmire in Pakistain and [Azad Kashmire] over the last two days. We have also noted that the events were led by UN-designated terrorists, who had in the past protested the elimination of dreaded Lions of Islam including the late Osama bin Laden ... who used to be alive but now he's not... and Taliban leader Akhtar Mansour in Pakistain," the front man said in a statement. He said India condemned the encouragement and support, which "such Lions of Islam and their activities" receive from Pakistain. "We once again ask Pakistan to stop inciting and supporting violence and terrorism in any part of our country and refrain from its deplorable meddling in our internal affairs in any manner." The observance of "Kashmir’s Accession to Pakistan Day" exposes Pakistain’s longing for the territory of Jammu & Kashmire," the front man said. "India demands that Pakistain must fulfil the obligation to vacate its illegal occupation of POK." Posted by: Fred 2016-07-23 |
