ISLAMABAD: Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Information and Broadcasting Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan on Tuesday said Prime Minister Imran Khan was discussing the issue of the Indian parliament’s repealing special status of Kashmir with leaders of different countries.
“We expect that the joint parliament session would send a united stance on Kashmir issue,” Firdous Ashiq Awan said while addressing media in Islamabad during a break of the parliamentary session. She said the government was trying to raise voice against the Indian move at every forum.
Addressing a concern of the opposition that Article 370 should have been mentioned in the resolution, she said we respect their sentiments.
The minister said the nation was not divided on the Kashmir conflict and the joint parliament had to categorically condemn India’s abhorable move of revoking Article 370.
She said the government would take the parliament into confidence and the resolution would reflect the parliament’s feelings. She said Pakistan will continue Kashmir’s diplomatic, moral and political assistance. She said Kashmir was the jugular vein of Pakistan.
