Minister for Kashmir Affairs and Gilgit-Baltistan Barjees Tahir says India is trying to ruin peace and stability in the region.
In a statement here on Tuesday, he said the harassment of Pakistani diplomats and their families by Indian officials was a sheer violation of diplomatic norms. He said that such kind of behaviour will further deteriorate security situation in the region.
The minister said Islamabad was issuing visas to Sikh and Hindu pilgrims from India to visit their religious places in Pakistan, while on the other hand, New Delhi was stubbornly denying similar facilities to Pakistani pilgrims to visit Ajmer Sharif.
Barjees Tahir strongly condemned Indian home minister’s threat to cross the Line of Control. He said that Pakistan cannot be frightened by hurling such threats and it would continue extending its political, diplomatic, and moral support to Kashmiri brethren. He said that lasting peace could be restored in the region by resolving Kashmir issue under UN resolutions.
