“Pakistan Will Continue To Raise The Kashmir Issue At All International Forums,” Pakistan’s President Arif Alvi
Mumbai: On Saturday, August 24th, the President of Pakistan, Arif Alvi said that India is playing with fire by revoking the special autonomy of occupied Kashmir and the same fire will eventually “burn the secularity” of the Indian state, it emerged on Saturday.
In an interview with Canadian-American media outlet Vice News, the president said the Indian government was “living in a fool’s paradise” if it felt that it could improve the situation in occupied Kashmir by revoking Articles 370 and 35-A of its constitution.
He said the international community should continue putting pressure on India to foil its hegemonic intent to swallow the whole Kashmir.
When asked whether Pakistan was disappointed that no statement had been issued after the first United Nations Security Council meeting on Kashmir in decades, Alvi said a lot of background discussions on the situation took place and that the “Kashmir issue has been internationalized after a long time” and Pakistan would continue doing that.
“I think there is a hegemonistic intent to swallow Kashmir [but] it won’t happen,” the president said.
Alvi said it was India that desired a war with Pakistan but that he would “strongly discourage” New Delhi from walking that route.
He also urged the media to highlight all human rights violations being committed by India in Occupied Kashmir.
