ISLAMABAD: Former interior minister Abdul Rehman Malik said on Thursday that the people of Pakistan and oppressed Kashmiris were expecting orders of lifting curfew in held Kashmir from Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“We demand to lift the curfew immediately and restore the status of Kashmir as demanded by the Foreign Relations Committee of the United States,” he said while talking to The News here on Thursday.
Giving his reaction to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's letter to Prime Minister Imran Khan, Senator Rehman Malik said the people of Pakistan are interested to see a curfew-free Kashmir. “We want freedom for Kashmiris, not brutalities by the Indian security forces,” he said.
“We know how much love the Indian prime minister has for Pakistan,” he said, adding that Narendra Modi had always been anti-Pakistan and anti-Kashmir.
The offer for peace talks was made on equal terms and the matter of Kashmir has to be a part of the meeting agenda, he said, adding, “There will be no peace in the region unless the Kashmir dispute is resolved as per the United Nation's resolutions.”
