ISLAMABAD: Pakistan People’s Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto said on Tuesday that India has opened the Pandora’s Box by abolishing Article 370 which granted special status to the Indian occupied Kashmir.
The PPP chairman was addressing the joint session of the parliament today, where he said that not only Hurriyat leadership has been detained but the ones who participated in elections as well.
Bilawal said that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has brought the mandate of hatred and is playing with fire in the valley.
He said that India, violating international conventions, has unleashed violence against Kashmiris.
Bilawal said that India’s unilateral action was against the ideology of former Indian leaders such as Nehru, Gandhi and Vajpayee.
He said that Pakistan needs to escalate this issue to international forums such as the United Nations, Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, as the nation wants action now.
Bilawal Bhutto said Prime Minister Imran Khan did not give policy statement but delivered a speech, adding that if the premier will lead then the opposition will support him.
The PPP chairman also lamented the lack of action or passing of any resolution during the session, saying that the eminent lawmakers were also missing in the session.
