WASHINGTON: US Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia Alice G Wells has lauded Prime Minister Imran Khan’s recent statement that anyone wanting to cross over to India-held Kashmir would do a great disservice to Pakistan as well as Kashmiris.

In a tweet, she said the US is acknowledging Pakistan’s sustained commitment to counter all terrorist groups and is critical to regional stability.

Kashmir Issue: PM Imran Khan says no dialogue with BJP-ruled India

PM Imran Khan had earlier said that there was no possibility of a dialogue with India, ruled by fascist BJP.

Pointing towards revoking of Article 370 of Constitution, Imran Khan reiterated that while attempting to annex Kashmir illegally against the resolutions of UNSC India has also violated its own laws.

Prime Minister reminded that in order to allow Kashmiris of IoK decide their own faith UN resolution calls for plebiscite.

Noting that 8 million Kashmiris had been under siege since 5th day of August sans any means of communication, Imran Khan warned that India can resort to any sort of venture (like Pulwama attack) to divert world’s attention from genocide of Kashmiris in IoK.

Imran Khan insinuated that in case a conventional war broke out between two nuclear states it could end up into a nuclear conflict.
