Pak is trying to internationalise Kashmir issue: BJP

Accusing Pakistan of disregarding its internal problems, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday said Islamabad is working only on trying to internationalise the Kashmir issue.

"Pakistan is unable to recognize what is happening within its own country, its economy has collapsed, citizens die every day, young girls are shot for wanting to study in school, health workers are shot for doing their work, yet the government of Pakistan is disregarding all this and is working only on trying to internationalize the Kashmir issue. Even the world is tired of its antics," BJP spokesperson Nalin Kohli told ANI.

Congress leader P.C. Chacko on his part said that Pakistan is not going to get any result by raising this issue repeatedly.

"It is only recently that they have appealed to the Security Council and the Security Council rejected. The countries all over the world have accepted that this is a bilateral issue and that India and Pakistan have to discuss this bilaterally. So, there is no point in Pakistan harping this issue again and again, they are not going to get any result out of it," Chacko said.

Earlier on Thursday, Pakistan's Parliament unanimously passed a resolution against the alleged 'unprovoked and indiscriminate' ceasefire violations by India and asked the government to seek UN intervention to resolve the Kashmir issue.

The resolution, which was moved by Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's Adviser on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz, stated that the National Assembly condemned Indian ceasefire violations at the Line of Control (LoC) and the International Border (IB).
