secretary general, requesting him to play his role for the "de-escalation" of current tensions which were caused by Indian government's rhetoric against Pakistain in the wake of the Pulwama attack.
Speaking during a talk show on ARY News, Qureshi said he had in his letter raised concerns over the "negative tactics" used by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government ahead of the elections in India.
He said he had cautioned the secretary-general about India's efforts to flare up tensions in the region and their possible consequences.
Weeks before the attack in Indian occupied Kashmire, Qureshi said, the Pakistain Foreign Office had informed the envoys of P5 countries that Islamabad feared that India would create a "Pakistain-bashing atmosphere" ahead of its elections and could "resort to some misadventure" in order to galvanise the holy warrior Hindu vote.
He said Pakistain's response in the face of Indian rhetoric had been "measured, mature and full of restraint".
The minister asked India to present "actionable evidence" of involvement of Pakistain-based groups in the Pulwama attack, if it had any, and assured that Pakistain would honestly investigate the same.
Tensions between India and Pakistain are once again running high following last week's bad boy attack in Pulwama.
