Islamabad, June 07, 2022 (PPI-OT):Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has reiterated that the peace in South Asia is contingent upon the peaceful resolution of the Kashmir dispute. Bilawal Bhutto Zardari was addressing a joint press conference along with his German counterpart Annalena Baerbock in Islamabad, today.

He warned that the situation in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir is fast deteriorating due to provocative steps of India that was trying to undermine the Muslim majority by marginalizing and turning it into minority through illegal steps.

The foreign minister said that he had been vociferously raising the Indian atrocities in IIOJK during his engagements at the global fora and in his meetings with his counterparts of various countries including the US secretary of state. He said the international community must immediately take notice of the increasing incidents of persecution of minorities and rising tide of Islamophobia in India.

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari citing the recent provocative and sacrilegious statements by the BJP leaders said that such outrageous and highly condemnable statements had hurt the sentiments of the Muslims all over the world. He said it was a proof that India had turned into a fascist country and it was no longer a secular India, but dominated by Hindutva ideology. The foreign minister said Pakistan wanted peace with India, but it required a rational approach from the other side, adding with such irrational steps by India, the space for peace was being squeezed.
