Pakistan min predicts war with India in Oct-Nov
Addressing an event in Rawalpindi, his home town, Ahmed said the time for a “final freedom struggle for Kashmir” has arrived and warned that war with India this time will be the “last war”.
“If United Nations Security Council wanted to solve the Kashmir issue, it would have held a plebiscite in Kashmir by now. The fate of Kashmir will now be decided by the youth of Kashmir. We must stand with the people of the Kashmir Valley,” the minister said.
Accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi of causing disturbance in the Valley, Ahmed said he has brought Kashmir on the brink of destruction. “Pakistan is the only obstacle in front of Modi. Why is the rest of the Muslim world silent over the issue?” Ahmed said.
“Jinnah had assessed the anti-Muslim mindset in India long ago. Those who still think about the possibility of dialogue with India are fools,” he said, adding that Pakistan premier Imran Khan’s upcoming speech at the UN on September 27 holds vital significance. “We are lucky to have a friend like China standing with us,” the minister said.
Earlier, Pakistan foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi accused PM Modi of undermining the spirit of bilateralism between the two neighbours. He told reporters in Islamabad that under the Shimla Agreement, both Pakistan and India were bound to bilaterally resolve the Kashmir dispute.
“Modi should tell the world whether his measures on August 5 (when special status to J&K was scrapped and the state divided into two Union territories) were bilateral or unilateral. It is the Indian prime minister who has undermined the spirit of bilateralism,” the foreign minister said.
In another development, military spokesperson Major General Asif Ghafoor said that in line with the government’s announcement to observe ‘Kashmir Hour’ on Friday, sirens will be blared at 12 noon.
