PM alarms world about rising tension with India

Islamabad: Prime Minister Imran Khan has said he would no longer seek a dialogue with India and alarmed that a threat of a military escalation between the two nuclear-armed countries is rising.In an interview with The New York Times, a day after he had a talk with President Donald Trump on phone, Imran Khan said his repeated overtures for peace and dialogue were rebuffed by the Indian Prime Minister both before and after the 5th August move in occupied Kashmir.

The Prime Minister vowed to raise Kashmir issue at every forum. There is no point in talking to them. He said what he meant was he has done all the talking. Unfortunately, now when he looks back, all the overtures that he was making for peace and dialogue, he feels that they took it for appeasement. There is nothing more that we can do.Imran Khan said the most important thing is that eight million peoples lives are at risk. We are all worried that there is ethnic cleansing and genocide about to happen.

He expressed concern that India might undertake a deceptive “false-flag operation” in Kashmir to try to justify military action against Pakistan. Pakistan would be forced to respond. And then you are looking at two nuclear-armed countries eyeball to eyeball, and anything can happen.

He said his worry is that this can escalate and for two nuclear-armed countries, it should be alarming for the world what we are facing now.

The prime minister repeatedly insisted that Modi intended to carry out a genocide of Kashmiri Muslims and has demanded that United Nations peacekeepers and observers be allowed in the occupied valley.
