The foreign minister of Pakistan, Shah Mehmood Qureshi, has said his country isn’t keen to escalate matters with New Delhi on Kashmir, apparently contradicting Prime Minister Imran Khan’s determination to support the “oppressed people” in the Indian-administered region at all costs.
Addressing a seminar titled “Annexation of Occupied Kashmir by Modi’s India: Challenges and Responses” in Islamabad, Qureshi said Delhi’s claim of normalcy on its side of Kashmir is “deceptive”, but seemingly held out an olive branch by saying Islamabad is ready to end the confrontation.
