Pakistan President Mamnoon Hussain on Friday reiterated that the only solution to Kashmir dispute is providing the right to self determination to Kashmiris.
“The only solution to the dispute of Kashmir is providing the right of self-determination to Kashmiri people, and Pakistan will continue to play its role in this regard,” Hussain was quoted as saying by Dawn.com. Pakistan is commemorating its 78th Republic day today. On this day in 1940, Lahore Resolution was passed when the All-India Muslim League demanded a separate nation for the Muslims of the British Indian Empire.
Hussain also strongly condemned India for its “irresponsible behaviour and attacks from across the Line of Control and Working Boundary”, the report said. He said that cooperation for international peace is the base of the country’s foreign policy. “Islamabad also extends a hand of cooperation to the regional countries but taking the gesture as a weakness will be a dangerous mistake,” the Pak president said.
