India deceives Pak under garb of talks

LAHORE - Relations with India cannot be normalised till the resolution of Kashmir and water issues, remarks JI Chief Syed Munawar Hassan. In a Press statement issued here on Saturday, he said talks between the foreign secretaries of Pakistan and India means nothing till the resolution of the core issue of Kashmir and ending of Indian water aggression. He said India has been deceiving Pakistan for the last 62 years under the garb of dialogue and New Delhi always using talks to astray the attention from the real issues. Munawar said India was committing worst atrocities against the Muslims of Kashmir, while the leadership of the occupied valley was arrested time and again for raising voice for the rights of the Kashmiris. He said India by constructing 62 dams on the waters of Pakistan wanted to turn our motherland into a desert. JI Chief said under the prevailing circumstances, Pakistans holding talks with India was condemnable. Interior Ministers statement that instead of doziers the people of both the countries should come closer and Governor Punjabs raising slogan on Indian border 'Bharat Zindabad was shameful and highly condemnable, said JI Chief. He said India making propaganda against Pakistan in the world and New Delhi was supporting the unrest in Balochistan and made all efforts to declare Pakistan a terrorist state. He said JI was not against dialogue but ignoring the real issues in the talks could not help normalising ties with India. Munawar said govt should tell India that no dialogue would be held till inclusion of the Kashmir and water issues in the agenda of the dialogue between the two countries.
