ISLAMABAD: The Foreign Office has said that India had not shared any evidence of Uri attack with Pakistan but only handed over one page of information to the Pakistani high commissioner in New Delhi.
The Foreign Office spokesman Nafees Zakaria expressed these views in the weekly media briefing here on Thursday.
“We should draw a distinction between evidence and just one page of information. India shared information with Pakistan, which is not any evidences of Uri attack,” the spokesman said. On postponing the scheduled SAARC summit in Pakistan, Zakaria said due to negative attitude of India’s, the upcoming SAARC summit was postponed. He said that India is impeding the SAARC process to divert attention from her atrocities in Indian held Kashmir but it failed to do so, calling India “desperate”.
Responding to a question about the Indian threat to isolate Pakistan as Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Bhutan refused to take part in SAARC summit conference, the spokesman rejected the impression of Pakistani isolation and said that China is investing massively in Pakistan, joint military exercises with the Russian army are underway and Iran’s naval ships are present in Pakistan, which proves that Pakistan cannot be isolated.
On Indian External Affairs Minister Shushma Swaraj address to UN General Assembly in which she termed Kashmir integral part of India, he said that her statement was a violation of the UN charter because the UN Security Council had passed a resolution on it. He said Pakistan demanded a free and fair investigation of human rights violation in Indian held Kashmir.
He said due to Indian atrocities in occupied Kashmir the eyesight of around 800 peoples was lost and more than 7000 were injured during the last 83 days. Indian atrocities in Kashmir have attracted the world’s attention, which is manifested in the strong condemnations and calls by the international political and human rights organisations for sending a fact finding mission to Indian Occupied Kashmir.
Regarding the Indian threat to provoke the Indus Water Treaty (IWT), the spokesman said that one party cannot invoke the agreement unilaterally. India did not inform Pakistan officially on the matter; it was just a media report. He said Pakistan always tried to resolve problems and issues with India through dialogue and even last month twice invited India for exclusive talks on Kashmir, but India had denied talks.
On the nexus between India and Baloch separatists, the spokesman said that Pakistan had often shared dossiers and information’s with the international community that proved India’s involvement in subversive activities in Balochistan. After the capture of Indian serving Naval Officer Kulbhushan Yadev, it further strengthened Pakistan’s position.
FO Spokesman strongly condemned unprovoked ceasefire violations at LoC by Indian forces, saying it was a continuation of a pattern of ceasefire violations committed by the Indian forces. The valiant Armed Forces of Pakistan would continue to give a befitting response to any aggression.
