Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Raveesh Kumar on Thursday (23 January) said that the world now understands the double standard of Pakistan, which is trying to create a create alarmist situation in the region, reports Hindustantimes.
Kumar said “Pakistan’s attempt to create alarmist situation in Kashmir failed. The global community understands its double standards.”
Speaking about US President Donald Trump’s offer to mediate on the Kashmir issue, Kumar said, “Our position on the Kashmir issue and third party mediation has been very clear and consistent. Let me reiterate that there is no role for any third party in this matter.”
When asked that Donald Trump calls Imran Khan 'good friend' and wants to talk about Kashmir when they met on the sidelines of annual World Economic Forum (WEF) summit in Davos, Kumar was categorical and told the press that the responsibility is on Pakistan to create a ‘conducive environment’ for talks to be held.
“If there are any bilateral issues between India and Pakistan, that needs to be discussed. It should be done between the two countries under provisions of Shimla Agreement and Lahore Declaration. But onus is on Pakistan to create such conducive conditions - free from terror, hostility and violence,” he said.
After Pakistan again brought the Kashmir Issue to the United Nations (UN), where Saad Ahmed Warraich, Counsellor at Pakistan mission to the UN, said that no other situation reflects the “abdication” of the UN’s responsibility to discharge its responsibilities more than the decades-old Jammu and Kashmir issue.
In response India’s Deputy Permanent Representative to UN Nagaraj Naidu, said, “Just like a fish takes to water, one delegation has again taken to hate speech. Every time this delegation speaks, it spews venom and false narratives of monumental proportions.”
He further added, “Pakistan “indulges in confabulations and obfuscates the international community from the truth.”
Pakistan’s double standard is out in the open when Imran Khan publically said he does not want to talk about the oppression of Uighur Muslims in China. When Khan was asked about not being vocal about the Chinese suppression of the Uighur people and to this, Khan replied that China was Pakistan’s great friend and has helped his country during its most difficult times. Pakistan is going through its worst the economic crisis..
Khan was very clear that, any disagreement they have with China is always discussed ‘privately’, not publicly, as these are sensitive issues.
