India is behind terrorism in Pakistan, says federal minister Fawad Chaudhry

Author: Web Desk

India supports terrorism in Pakistan, said Fawad Chaudhry, the spokesperson and secretary of information for Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf, during an interview Tuesday with Indian news channel India Today.

“We lost seven soldiers in North Waziristan, including a captain,” Chaudhry said. “They were young boys. Some of them had not even been married.”

Prime Minister Imran Khan was forced to call off the India-Pakistan dialogue, because he felt pressured by the Bharatiya Janata Party, a right-wing political party in India. “Anti-Pakistan rhetoric sells in India,” Chaudry said. “That’s the only way we interpret (the calling-off of the dialogue).”

Negotiations between the two countries cannot take place without discussing Kashmir, and Indian occupation of Kashmir is “illegal,” Chaudhry said. “When you say, let’s talk, but let’s not talk on Kashmir, you’re only fooling yourself,” he said. “And if India believes that Pakistan should not stand with the people of Kashmir, obviously (the Indians) are wrong.”

Pakistan wants to negotiate, Chaudry said. The other two options are war or sabotage. “We’re both atomic countries,” Chaudhry said. “Those who will be left behind after the war can (then) talk to each other.”
