Pakistan’s High Commissioner in India Abdul Basit said on Sunday Pakistan has never allowed its soil to be used against anyone and there’s no point in blaming it for Uri attack.

In an interview with an Indian newspaper, Abdul Basit said investigations are still underway to determine what really happened in Uri.

We are committed to not allowing our territory to be used for violence anywhere in the world, the HC stressed.

Commenting on heightened tensions between  the two neighbours, Pak HC was optimistic of future course and said I am not worried we are about to go to war. ‘We are in a tough phase. And we have challenges. But as a diplomat, I remain optimistic we will emerge from this. I would not give up.’

Abdul Basit said that Kashmir is the primary bone of contention between Pakistan and India and that Pakistan believes in resolving all disputes through dialogue.

Basit said that no solution to Jammu and Kashmir can be sustained if it is not acceptable to them.
