LAHORE - Norwegian ambassador Robert Kvile called on Jamat-e-Islami Secretary General Liaquat Baloch at Mansoora on Monday and discussed with him issues of bilateral interest. The JI leader told the envoy that the policies of most of the Muslim countries on different issues, including the blasphemous cartoons, military invasion of the Muslim states or thrusting dictatorial rule there, were in conflict with the masses sentiments. He said the slogans of East-West friendly relations or religious tolerance were fascinating indeed but as long as there was no practical change in the policies of the US and other western countries, the gulf between the East and the West would continue to widen. He pointed out that the Kashmiris had been fighting for their basic rights for the last 62 years. He said, every attempt for confidence building with India would bear no fruit unless the Kashmir issue was resolved in the light of the UN resolutions and in accordance with the wishes of the Kashmiris. He said, peace could not be established in South Asia without resolving the Kashmir issue and the foreign troops withdrawal from Afghanistan.
