No dialogue with India till review of unilateral actions of Aug 5: FM

Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said Pakistan could not engage in any meaningful dialogue with India till the latter reviews its unilateral and illegal actions of August 5, 2019.

In an interview with ‘India Today’, Foreign Minister said Pakistan wants to combat the menace of terrorism because it has caused the largest number of casualties among any other SCO countries.

He asked India to explain what Kulbhushan Jadhav was doing in Pakistan, carrying out terrorist activities in Pakistan, does it not come under the cross border terrorism?

He said the victims of the 2007 Samjhauta Express bombing had yet to see any justice.

Meanwhile, in an interview with BBC, Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said meaningful dialogue with India would be difficult unless it reviews its unilateral actions of August 5, 2019, on Jammu and Kashmir.

He said in these circumstances, the onus is on India to create a conducive environment for bilateral talks.

The Foreign Minister said during his visit to India for the SCO foreign ministers’ meeting, he did not request for a bilateral meeting with Indian leadership.

He said his visit to India was a message that Pakistan see the SCO as an important forum in the context of regional progress and stability.

The Foreign Minister reiterated that Pakistan has no change in its stance on the issue of Kashmir.
