Prime Minister Imran Khan said on Sunday that Pakistan will not continue to watch as India carries out military attacks along the Line of Control (LoC) targeting civilians.
Taking to Twitter, the prime minister said: “I want to make clear to India and the international community that if India continues its military attacks killing civilians across LoC, Pakistan will find it increasingly difficult to remain an inactive observer along the LoC.” He reiterated that the United Nations (UN) needs to intervene in the situation in occupied Kashmir.
“As Indian occupation forces continue to target and kill civilians across the LoC with increasing intensity and frequency, there is an urgent need for UNSC [United Nations Security Council] to insist India allow UNMOGIP [United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan] to return [to the LoC along occupied Kashmir].” “We fear an Indian false flag operation,” Imran added.
On Friday, China called on India to “give serious consideration and positive response to the request of UNSC members” on occupied Kashmir after a recently-held UNSC meeting to review the situation in the valley.
“Members of the Security Council are concerned about the current situation in occupied Kashmir, and call for observance of the UN Charter and international law, and peaceful resolution of disputes through political dialogue. They believe relevant parties should remain restrained and de-escalate the tension,” said Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang.
He expressed China’s resolve to continue to play “a constructive role in upholding regional peace and stability”. “At the same time, as a responsible major country, China has been in close communication with both India and Pakistan and stands ready to play a constructive role.”
