New Delhi: Pakistan High Commissioner to India, Abdul Basit, has remarked that war cannot be a solution to the issues present between Pakistan and India.
Addressing a ceremony in New Delhi, he said that there still remained some outstanding issues between India and Pakistan, which needed to be resolved at the earliest. “For this, both the countries must come together and sit on a negotiation table,” he added. The high commissioner postulated that both countries had been unable to resolve the Kashmir issue despite the passage of several decades.
He also believed that nothing had been achieved by the bloodshed and wars of the past, which had only exacerbated problems. He wished that all outstanding issues between Pakistan and India be solved through talks in the earliest. Basit stressed that India must prepare itself to conduct fruitful and result-oriented negotiations with Pakistan.
He mentioned that even though five months had passed since the Pathankot attack, India was still not forthcoming with a true investigation. “Pakistan has exhausted all its potentials to proceed the case but India seemed to be reluctant to further investigate the attack,” he added.
