India should resolve the Kashmir issue through “political and diplomatic” means rather than “abusing” Pakistan, army chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa has said.
Bajwa, while addressing a Defence Day gathering in Rawalpindi last night, said people of South Asia need peace for prosperity.
Accusing India of “killing” innocent people on the LoC, he said the country should give peace a chance.
Pakistan will continue to extend "political, moral, and diplomatic support" to Kashmiris for their right to self-determination in line with the UN Security Council resolutions, he said. Furthermore, he accused India of trying to destabilise Pakistan through "militancy and usurping its share of water".
The army chief also claimed that Pakistan is a responsible nuclear state.
He added that Pakistan is against war and terrorism. “We want relationship with all countries based on mutual respect and equality," he said.
