Minister for Kashmir Affairs and Gilgit-Baltistan Ali Amin Gandapur has urged the international community to help resolve the Kashmir issue for peace and stability in South Asia.

In a statement, he said Pakistan has adopted a strong stance on Kashmir situation and the way the issue has been highlighted internationally has evoked hopes of its resolution.

The Minister said Indian steps to change demographic composition of the held territory is a glaring example to all the minorities in India that their country has become an extremist Hindu state.

Ali Amin Gandapur said Pakistan is a responsible atomic power and has the capability and capacity to respond to any external aggression.
