LAHORE:
“If the Kashmir dispute is not resolved soon, there will be another Indo-Pak war over control of river water in the disputed territory,” Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Punjab president Ejaz Chaudhary on Wednesday.
“The Kashmir issue should be decided according to resolutions passed in the UN. Kashmiris must also have a say,” Chaudhary added.
He was addressing a seminar organised by PTI on Kashmir Day at Hamdard Centre to express solidarity with the people of Kashmir.
Khursheed Mehmood Kasuri said that it was not possible to establish cordial relations between Pakistan and India without resolving the Kashmir issue.
He said dialogue between the two countries was the only way to resolve the dispute.
Umer Zahir Mir said resolution of the Kashmir issue was key to normalisation of relations between India and Pakistan.
Mir said until the Kashmir dispute was not resolved, peace in the region was not possible.
PTI Vice Chairman Shah Mehmood Quershi also addressed a seminar organised by the Kashmir Youth Forum at the Lahore Press Club.
“All dialogues on Kashmir are meaningless without the participation of Kashmiris. The Indian government should realise that Kashmir is a core issue. The MFN status depends on the peaceful resolution of the Kashmir dispute,” he said.
