Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi on Monday said New Delhi had always been averse to third-party mediators in ties between Pakistan and India.
Speaking to reporters in Islamabad, the foreign minister said India backtracked on a proposed meeting of foreign ministers of the two countries on the sidelines of the UNGA session owing to political pressures at home.
He said the war inflicted by the United States in Afghanistan had failed to achieve peace in 17 years. The foreign minister added that the world community had come to the realisation that dialogue and not force was the way forward for Afghanistan peace.
Qureshi said the government would not engage in a political witchhunt when asked about Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) president Shehbaz Sharif’s arrest.
He said that the country had been mercilessly plundered during the PML-N tenure.
The PTI leader said that the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) is an independent institution.
