Yesterday, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan blamed India for allegedly killing innocent Kashmiris. The Pakistan Prime Minister tweeted, “Strongly condemn the new cycle of killings of innocent Kashmiris in IOK by Indian security forces. It is time India realised it must move to resolve the Kashmir dispute through dialogue in accordance with the UN SC resolutions & the wishes of the Kashmiri people.”
Meanwhile, the Ministry of External Affairs, hit back at Khan. The MEA in a statement said that instead of making remarks on India’s internal affairs, the Pakistan leadership should look inward and address its own issues. The ministry also asked Pakistan to take credible action against all kind of support to terrorism and terror infrastructure from all territories under its control rather than supporting terror activities against India and its other neighbours.
