Foreign Minister Qureshi on Wednesday wrote another letter to UN Security Council's president and underscored Pakistan's readiness to cooperate in every possible way with the world community for a peaceful resolution of Jammu and Kashmir dispute in accordance with the UN Charter and the Council's relevant resolutions.
According to Foreign Office Spokesperson Dr Mohammad Faisal, the foreign minister addressed another letter to the president of the UN Security Council underscoring the continuation of troubling developments including the dire humanitarian situation as a result of total lockdown in Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir, and the attendant risks to peace and security in South Asia.
Referring to the Security Council meeting of 16 August 2019, Qureshi has inter alia emphasised the importance of immediate lifting of India's indefensible lockdown of the entire Kashmiri population for three weeks and reiterated Pakistan's concerns over India staging another "false flag" operation to divert world's attention from its illegal and unilateral actions of 5th August 2019. "India's irresponsible and belligerent rhetoric on the nuclear issue has also been highlighted," the spokesperson added.
The foreign minister further suggested to the Security Council for doubling the number of United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP) observers and persuading India to allow them to patrol on its side of the LoC as well.
In view of the consistent and grave human rights violations, and the persistence of threats emanating from India's aggressive postures and policies, the foreign minister called on the Council to consider all possible avenues available to it under the UN Charter to fulfil its responsibilities for the maintenance of international and regional peace and security.
The foreign minister has underscored Pakistan's readiness to cooperate in every possible way with the Security Council, the UN Secretary General and the world community to promote a peaceful resolution of the Jammu & Kashmir dispute in accordance with the UN Charter and the relevant resolutions of the UN Security Council. Qureshi had earlier addressed communications to the president of the Security Council on 1st, 6th and 13th August 2019.
