A day after Pakistan raised Kashmir during a video-conference of the SAARC nations on coronavirus, CPI(M) leader Sitaram Yechury on Monday said the neighbouring country only wanted that the valley should also have the facilities to combat the pandemic.

Addressing a press conference at the CPI(M) head office here, he said, "It all depends on the conversation. I was not privy to it. According to what I read, if that is true, then the only issue raised by Pakistan was that the Kashmir valley should also have the facilities to combat the virus."
