Pakistan wants peace but will never compromise on Kashmir: President
February 27, 2020

President Dr. Arif Alvi says Pakistan wants peace and is looking for peace, but it will never compromise on Kashmir.

Addressing a seminar titled "Radical India vs Responsible Pakistan" in Islamabad on Thursday, he said we will stand by the Kashmiri people and will never abandon them.

The President said Kashmir is unfinished agenda of the partition. He warned India not to carry out any false flag operation against Pakistan.

He regretted that Pakistan's every effort for peace vanished into thin air, and the belligerent India did not reciprocate Pakistan's gestures of peace.

He said we are proud of our armed forces, which befittingly responded to the Indian aggression on 26 February last year. He said despite having limited resources we have better defence capability than that of India. He congratulated Pakistan Air Force and the Army for defeating terrorism and defending borders of the motherland.

Arif Alvi said Pakistan is rising with better human rights situation, successful operation against terrorism and improving economy. He said Pakistan is a responsible state and it must voice for every minority in the world. He said minorities including Muslims, Sikhs and Christians are being treated with discrimination in India. He said there is problem in India regarding minorities' rights and the international community must pressure the country for ensuring due rights to minorities.

Speaking on the occasion, Special Assistant on National Security Division and Strategic Policy Planning Moeed Yusuf said we are a responsible nation and demonstrated restraint last year but, our resolve to respond misadventure remains.

He said Pakistan is a peace loving country and desirous of peace in the region as well. He said Islamabad will continue to extend political, moral and diplomatic support to the Kashmiris for realization of their just right to self-determination.
